IsInRole from ASP.NET failing

[shawnvi]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to restrict access to my ASP.NET application using role
based security. I'm using .NET v1.1

In code I check IsInRole for a local machine group, and it returns
false. The name of the group is properly qualified with machine name
in caps, and a forward slash (actually 2 'cause I'm using c# w/o @) and
then the name of the group properly cased, yet it fails to find it.

I found code on the internet that lets you see what groups IsInRole is
checking against, and I do not see this group in there. I have 99
entries. I've tried a variety of tests like adding new groups that the
user is a member of, removing group membership for groups the user is a
member of, and nothing works. I still have 99 entries, and the groups
that I remove the user from being a member of still appear in the list
of groups the user is allegedly a member of. I've also tried rebooting
the server, resetting IIS, clearing my temporary internet files cache,
and nothing seems to make it work. I did check to see that IsInRole
would be satisfied by providing a group that shows up in the group
membership enumeration, and that does work.

Anyone run into anything like this before or have any suggestions for
me?

Your help is appreciated!

The groups are now suddenly appearing in the list of group membership.
I had recently changed my domain password preceeding the issue. It's
likely this has less to do with the .net framework and perhaps more to
do with the OS / domain?!
