MVC 3 ASP.NET Roles-Authorize Attribute

I am getting user roles from Active Directory and I am binding the same roles to ASP.NET Membership Roles.

I want to control the display for the various Views in Controller by using

[Authorize(roles="Admin")]

But Which ever role I specify, The View just doesn't display. If I take out the [Authorize(roles="Admin")] it works.

Does Authorize uses ASP.NET Membership roles? if so, Why I am getting this error?

Am I missing anything? Any Ideas?

Thank you

Assuming you are using the VS built in server and you are getting a blank page - the built in development server will display a blank page instead of prompting for credentials.

Buried way down in a note on this page

Note:
If you are using the Visual Studio Development server, you are not prompted for credentials and you see only a blank page.

IIRC if you use AD roles it works with groups and you need to specify the domain:

[Authorize(Roles = @"MYDOMAIN\SomeDomainGroup")]

Now if the user accessing the site belongs on the given AD group he will be granted access.
