[Mono-list] Is PrincipalPermissionAttribute working?

[DI Mag. Rainer Burgstaller]

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?
