User Authentication against AD

Hi,
I have a 'users' table which stores a list of authorized users (usernames) of my application. All these application users are part of windows AD domain on which my application is hosted. Now when a user tries to log in, I want his username to be checked against the 'users' table. If the username is listed, then his login credentials (i.e. username and password)is to be verified against the AD. But his group and permissions should be as per the settings in my application. In all

  1. Only those users listed in my users table are authorized users of my application.
  2. The username-password combination should be verified from AD.
  3. The groups and permissions of the user should be controlled by the application and not AD.
    Please help!!

Dear Cristian,

I have already gone through the link which you have suggested.

The problem with this arrangement is the line which states 'Note that admin can not create groups manually since they are stored on the Active Directory server. Admin just add existing groups via Add Group.'

I don't want to use the groups of AD server, instead I want to configure groups with dynamic permissions. Hope I am clear.
