...*sigh*...I may be into something a bit too deep, and probably just need some advice.

My intent is to use this environment totally embedded in my own blog system. That system is a complete integrated dot.net application which uses LDAP to reach out and verify logins in our active directory, but also keeps its own database of user information, including various rights and grouping containers. What I want to do is use my system, and create/call chat rooms embedded in pages on the basis of membership in these various groups/containers, and generating the necessary credentials and display names for the chat rooms on the fly using existing session variables from my application, and database calls. I won't be using the controls available through a fully-qualified stand-alone chat environment, since it'll never be used that way...with the possible exception of the admin controls.

I just downloaded and examined the "Integrated..." package, and it is clearly aimed at existing systems such as Community Server and dot-net-nuke, so I can't see how that security integration is happening, or how it would work with my design.

If you can point me towards any documentation or forum postings which would help me decide, I'm all ears.
