I am having a problem with role-based security in an ASP.NET application.

Backgound info:
    Web Server - IIS 6.0, Win2K3
        Basic Auth
    Domain - W2K

When I browse to the web site I get the login dialog. I type in my useid/password and I get authenticated fine. The next thing I do in the application is to check to see if the person that was just authenticated has access to this application. So, I use the IsInRole function with a known group to see if I get back a true or false and I always get false. I have created a test harness that is testing just the piece that is not working and I have included it below.

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Me.lblUserName.Text = User.Identity.Name()

        Me.lblAuthType.Text = User.Identity.AuthenticationType()

        Me.lblIsAuth.Text = IIf(User.Identity.IsAuthenticated, "True", "False")

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Me.lblInGroup.Text = IIf(User.IsInRole(Me.txtGroup.Text), "True", "False")

End Sub

I am entering the group name in the format: "domain\group". I have tried groups that are setup as local and global and neither has worked.

Any help would be apprcieated.....Thanks.
