    Can't get WindowsPrincipal.IsInRole() to work for me when using
     Windows Authentication. Here's a snippit of code from my C#
     codebehind page:
     
     WindowsPrincipal wp = new WindowsPrincipal(
     WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() );
     lblUser.Text = wp.Identity.Name;
     Label1.Text = wp.IsInRole(@"DOMAIN\group").ToString();
     
     
     where "DOMAIN\group" is a valid group name. The username shows up
     correctly as "DOMAIN\username" but for any non-builtin roles,
     IsInRole() returns false. Does anyone have suggestions as to why this
     is not working?
