Title Body

Very simple question actually: I currently have IIS anonymous access disabled, users are automatically logged on using their Windows login. However calling User.IsInRole("Role name") returns false. I double-checked User.Identity.Name() and the "Role name" and it should return true. I currently have this in my Web.Config: UPDATE I was calling User.IsInRole("Role name") where I should call User.IsInRole("DOMAIN\Role name") However I still like to know if the <membership> entry is needed at all? What should I change? ( and is the <membership> entry needed at all? ) <authentication mode="Windows"> <forms name=".ADAuthCookie" timeout="10" /> </authentication> <membership defaultProvider="ADMembershipProvider"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="ADMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" connectionUsername="XXX\specialAdUser" connectionPassword="xx" /> </providers> </membership> <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="WindowsProvider"> <providers> <clear /> <add name="WindowsProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" /> </providers> </roleManager>
