ArgumentExcepti on when call WindowsPrincipa l.IsInRole

I receive multiple (handled) ArgumentExcepti ons when I call
WindowsPrincipl e.IsInRole. The exception text is:

A first chance exception of type 'System.Argumen tException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Item has already been added.
Key in dictionary: "DOMAINNAME\use rGroup"
Key being added: "DOMAINNAME\use rGroup"

where DOMAIN is the domain of the group I am querying for, and userGroup
seems to be each group in the domain (which is large).

My code is as follows:

//this is called when the application first starts
AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.SetPri ncipalPolicy(Pr incipalPolicy.W indowsPrincipal );

public static bool UserIsInRole(st ring roleName)
{
WindowsPrincipa l principal = (WindowsPrincip al)Thread.Curre ntPrincipal;
return principal.IsInR ole(roleName);
}

The exceptions are handled, as I am only notified when I turn on the break
on all exceptions IDE option. I am using framework 1.1.

This isn't a problem as such, I am just wondering if anyone else has
experienced this.

Thanks
Dan

I am writing a webService that is going to be accessed anonymously (I don't want to "configurable" depend on windows integrated authentication).

I don't want to send the credentials (userName, password and domain) because I want the client to be unaware...

This a bit of a second post on same subject, my apologies. IsinRole function only works with built-in roles. If I create a new group on my domain controller then add an existing user to that group, user bob, group TestUsers and then try to determine if My.user.Isinrole("TestUsers") I always get a false, which is incorrect. If I put Bob as part of Administrators or any other built-in group on the DC and look at...

I use the following function to ascertain if the current user is in ann AD security group. It appears to work, except if the group contains any space characters, it always returns false.

Hi, I currently have my application setup and built using Windows Authentication (WindowsPrincipal). For security checks, I simply do an IsInRole call on the Principal.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
