I am attempting to make a login block function for my application. It is
using NT to authenticate the user using Active Directory. It authenticates
the user and logs them in, but I have no roles. What am I doing wrong or how
do I pass the roles back to the page so hey can be used? Thanks for any
help.

<cffunction name="authUser" access="public" returntype="string">
 <cfargument name="username" type="string" required="yes">
       <cfargument name="password" type="string" required="yes">
 <cfset username=trim(arguments.username)>
     <cfset password=trim(arguments.password)>
     <cfset domain="avemaria" />
       <cfset authenicated = authenticate(#username#, #password#,
#domain#)>
   <cfif authenticated.auth eq "YES">
          <cfset success = 1>
          <cfset groups = #authenticated.groups#>
          <cfset userCred = setUserCred(#username#, #password#, #groups#)>
           <cfset setSessions = setSessions(#username#)>
            <cfset result = "success">
         <cfelse>
            <cfset result = "failure">
            <cfset success = 0>
 </cfif>
          <cfset userLog = logUser(#username#, #password#, #success#)>
     <cfreturn result>
</cffunction>
