You're correct, in updating the app.config I did not copy the old top-level probed assemblies over.

I appreciate the help, and thanks for the quick response.

It sounds like your IEntityLoginManager is no longer being found, since the principal name you're seeing is what is returned by the default implementation. I don't think we've changed the probing for this interface between these versions, but did have quite a few breaking changes in terms of namespace and assembly names. Make sure that the top-level element in the ideablade.configuration section contains the name of the assembly holding your class. Also check the debuglog to see the early tracing information it produces - it will tell you where the config was loaded from, if it found an IEntityLoginManager, etc. and should help determine the problem here.

I just upgraded from 4.2.1 to 5.1.0, and code that worked no longer appears to work.

In my Login() logic, after verifying the credentials, I returned using the following:
GenericIdentity identity = new GenericIdentity(credential.UserName, bu.Id.ToString("B")/* Guid of user record */);
return new GenericPrincipal(identity, null);

In the client code, I reliably had the Username in the Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name, just as the doc says.

Now that I'm using the newest version, I get "Default Principal - #" (where # represents a monotonically increasing number) for the Identity.Name. I've reviewed the example supplied in Security_ConsoleUI, including creating the AppIdentity, but there's no change in behavior.

Any ideas?
