ok,
on my server....which works my context.User is of type:
BNFL_EnergyUnit.CODE.BLL.energyCUSTOM_PRICIPAL
but on the server it is:
System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal
something on the server is causing context.User to be a GenericPrincipal
but on my machine it allows me to convert context.user to my
energyCUSTOM_PRICIPAL
Following is my energyCUSTOM_PRICIPAL then inherits IPrincipal
using System;
using System.Security.Principal;
using BNFL_EnergyUnit.CODE.DAL;
using System.Collections;

for

// IIdentity interface and an implementation for IsInRole. The custom
// principal is attached to the current request in Global.asax in the
// Authenticate_Request event handler. The user's role is stored in
the
// custom principal object in the Global_AcquireRequestState event
handler.
