Help please with Role based security not working.

[John L. Green]

Hello All,

I am trying to use the .Net built in role based security. It is not working.
The web config has the following;
<authorization>

<deny users="?"/>

<allow roles="DMZ\SLReports, DMZ\Supply-Link" />

<deny users="*" />

Users are not being allowed web access unless I add them to an <allow users>
section.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How have you set up the authentication in IIS and in web.config?
