Should Security.getUserGroups() work for AD groups?

I tried to use the following code, adapted from the Security API section of the help file:


groups = Security.getUserGroups();

if( groups["dmhs_admins"] )

{

XSession.Session["IsAdmin"] = true;

}

else

{

XSession.Session["IsAdmin"] = false;

}


It doesn't seem to be working for me. The compiler complains:

error CS0103: The name 'groups' does not exist in the current context


I'm using AD groups.

What event are you adding this to?

What event are you adding this to?


I'm using the After successful login event. One would think an API function would work anywhere.
I actually worked around it by using:


string groups = XSession.Session["GroupID"];

if( groups.Contains("dmhs_admins") )

{etc.}


[size="2"]But I would like to know if the Security API is fully functional with AD and if so, what I was doing wrong. [/size]

Yes, that would be good to know. I am tempted to try your original approach with an app that does not use AD.
