Hi,

I am writing to seek help, in how do i get the following line to read only the identity names only. this is because it currently throws - "The Role Manager feature has not been enabled" error.

C#

if (user.username != null)
            {
                // once the user is verified, assign it to an IPrincipal with the identity name and applicable roles
                principal = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(user.username));
               
                return true;
            }

Many thanks for your time and help.

Add following lines to your web.config file.

XML

<roleManager defaultProvider="DefaultRoleProvider">
     <providers>
       <add name="DefaultRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultRoleProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" applicationName="/" />
     </providers>
   </roleManager>

If you are using role base security, then check role base settings for role which you want to use .

Thank you for reply. I would like to use identity name property only but when I use that alone, it throws an error.
