Re. Global.Asax not working Server Side

[Jimmy Jazz]

Hello,

Using cookieless roles based security.

Setting

HttpContext.Current.User = New GenericPrincipal(id, Split(userData, ",
"))

in Global.asax Application_AuthenticateRequest

On my desktop works fine. Server side nada.

Any ideas?

Thanx Jim

Hello,

Answering my own problem after two sleepless nights.

Global.asax must be placed in root of virtual directory.

Had to completely rebuild virtual directory (contrary to Micosoft
documentation) in order to get changes to stick. Most likely setting
on the server side.

Microsoft documentation states any editing of global.asax will
automatically reset app.. Not so on the server I was working on.

Hello Jimmy,

another option would be to package that as an HttpModule.

Hello Jimmy,

editing of global.asax will not recycle the AppDomain - editing of web.config
will, though
