Problems using AzMan role methods

[Patrick Allmond]

I am using AzMan and XML to do role, group and operation validation. This is
all new to me, and I am working in VB. My application is using Windows
Authentication. I have several questions:

1. When trying to authenticate that the current user has access to an
operation I use this code:
Results = clientContext.AccessCheck("Object Being Audited Goes Here",
Nothing, Operations, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)
(Operations is one element array with the operation id I want to check).
After this call results(0) contains a 0 or 5. What are those supposed to
translate to ? It looks like a 5 means the person is not authorized for the
operation and a 0 means that they are. But I cannot find any good
documentation on what a 5 vs a 0 means.

2. Roles: I cannot get anything to work when it comes to role validation. A
simple call such as:
Dim temp() As String
temp = Roles.GetAllRoles()

results in:
Unknown name. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020006 (DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME

I am pretty sure my web.config it set up correct but we can review if
needed. I think it is OK because (as indicated in #1) I can check
operations... somewhat.

Thanks,
Patrick

"Zero indicates that the access check succeeded, and the client identified by
the context is allowed to perform the specified operation. Any other value
indicates failure (generally what you'll see is the number 5, which is
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED)."
