Hi Peter, Thank you for the reply. You're quite right of course, I
created this code in a overly-simplistic manner to try to isolate the
source of error to the custom role assignment. While it appears that
the roles are assigned successfully in the
WindowsAuthentication_Authenticate method, these roles are not
available from the page. (Once this problem is complete, I'll be
supplying the roles from a database, and using the user's identity as
the index into the data)
Thanks Peter.

Jeff,
At first blush it appears you are attempting to have your cake and eat it
too. The whole concept of authentication is to create a custom Identity based
on the user's credentials, no? In this case you are forcing it to be
"mycomputer/me"... no matter who it is.

I'd like to create customer roles for my ASP.Net application, but I am
also using impersonation. For the purposes of this issue, say I have
the simple code below for my custom roles.:
Overrides Sub Init()
_ht = New Hashtable
_ht.Add("mycomputer/me", New String() {"ViewAll",
"ViewPublished"})
End Sub
Sub WindowsAuthentication_Authenticate(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As
WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs)
e.User = New GenericPrincipal(e.Identity, _ht("mycomputer/me"))
End Sub
The problem is that I don't have access to the custom roles in my page
code. I've read that this has something to do w/ impersonation
happening after the WindowsAuthentication_Authenticate method is
called. The problem is that the User object seems to be read only
after this, so in what method can I assign these custom roles?
Thanks
