Hi
It seems that the PrincipalPermissionAttribute is not working as expected (at least not as I expect it :)
I checked the class status and it says 100% so I guess this means that it should work.
I got the following code which works just nice under MS.NET.
<snip>
[PrincipalPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Role="root")]
public void UpdateMember( Member aMember )
{
// do something secret here :)
}
</snip>When Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole("root") is false then under windows this raises a SecurityException (which I think is correct). However, under mono-0.91 it runs through without any problem (i.e. does not generate the exception). I verified this by modding the code above to
<snip>
[PrincipalPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Role="root")]
public void UpdateMember( Member aMember )
{
IPrincipal princ = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
bool adminRole = princ.IsInRole("root");if ( !adminRole )
throw new Exception("You dont belong to the admins. Go away");
// do something very secret here
}
</snip>The modified code raises now the exception.
So here are the two options
a) I dont understand how to use PrincipalPermissionAttribute (which could easily be true)
b) the mono implementation does not work as expected.
Can anybody help me?
