PrincipalPermission.Demand() returns: Request for principal permission failed

Dan Woodring via .NET 247

I'm having a PrincipalPermission problem. Here's what I've done:
1) In IIS directory security, I've disabled Anonymous access and enabled Integrated Windows Authentication.
2) Created a local windows group called "TESTERS"
3) Created a local windows user called "TESTUSER"
4) I run the following code:
   Dim sDomain_User as string = "MyLocalMachine\TESTUSER"
   Dim sAuthGroup as string = "MyLocalMachine\TESTERS"
   Dim oPrincipalPerm1 As New PrincipalPermission(sDomain_User, sAuthGroup)
   oPrincipalPerm1.Demand()

The exception: Request for principal permission failed is returned.   Can anybody Help?

If anybody can help I'd really appreciate it!

What does Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name say and what do you get with
Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole("mylocalmachine\TESTERS")?

That should probably work as long as that user was actually authenticated,
but checking the above things will help troubleshoot.

HTH,
