I have my asp.net web server setup to use windows authentication.

It is authenticating just fine with my current logged in user.

I can verify this by viewing …

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

And I can verify that I am authenticated by viewing…

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated

However, when I call the .IsInRole function I get the trust relationship error…

HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("accounting")

I have found online references to problems with supplying domain name with the role name (domain\accounting), but I still get the same error. Any suggestions on where to look or troubleshoot the problem?

    Well, it seems that if you are referencing a Role that doesn’t exist then you get the trusted domain error.

    The error went away and the code functioned just fine when I changed from …

    HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("accounting")

    to the actual group name …

    HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("rsi_accounting")
