Hi Greg;

Are you using the UserBase class (DevForce's Default IPrincipal implementation)? This class will serialize the roles back to the client.

If you have a custom IPrincipal implementation instead, you need to make sure that the roles are serialized as part of the data contract.

On the client, I am trying to determine if a user is in a particular role.

In web.config, <roleManager enabled="true" />.

The ASPNet.db has a role created and a user is assigned the role.

If I open up ASPNet Configuration in Visual Studio, it shows the user, the role, and the user being in the role. So it is set up correctly.

I then log in as that user.

In the LoggedIn event, I check to see if the user is in a role:

bool isInRole = AuthenticationManager.Current.User.IsInRole("EmailAdmin");

However, this always returns false. In looking at User.Roles, it is always empty. However, it does show the correct user.

Any idea what's up?

Greg
