[Torstensson, Patrik]

Time to help.. ;-)

MS does NOT set the principal when calling Context.User = Principal but it does when executing a new step in the execution pipeline in HttpApplication. So, setting the principal in an event changes the principal after the event is executed but before the page is executed.

This would be easy to fix in our implementation, we just need to track the principal in the state machine (same as culture info). Make sure that we set the principal from context.user when entering a thread  (saving current) and restore when leaving (to the saved).

Cheers,
 Patrik Torstensson
