membership / role provider in a web service?

Can you use asp.net's membership and role provider sevices inside a web
service for authentication? I am trying to find a way to reduce coding.. and
that seems like it would be a good fit to do simple authentication (a user
would login using a login method and create a session that way) thanks!ASP.NET AJAX uses such a technique to handle role & memberships via ajax.
Here's more info:

what about using the built in asp.net 2.0 ones? I just need something to
work with webservices to do role and membership managment
