I'm having some trouble setting up security. I've been through the documentation and examples a couple times and believe I have everything setup correctly. The problem I'm having is that the app in not authenticating the user. I'm not getting any exception, only a message form saying "the given credentials could not be authenticated...". I've double checked the settings in the security editor everything looks fine. Could there be anything else that I've been overlooking, or something that is commonly overlooked?

As far as I can tell, everything is set up properly. But it still doesn't work. I can get the login form to show but when the credentials are entered, authentication fails. I have one user, John Doe with a simple password jd. I've created a user role and assigned the user this role. I've also assigned the user grant permission for the MDIMainForm. Here are my Solution Preferences and Security Properties. I've attached a copy of my AppMain.vb.

Well, if you've called the

SecurityBasics.SetSecurityKeyAndVectorForUserAuthentication("CMPR.SecurityKey")

command within the InitApplication() of your AppMain.vb (or Program.cs), then the only other thing that could be wrong is that your users are not deployed to the SFS tables that are referenced at runtime.

Are the SFS tables part of your database?  Are the users and permissions deployed from the StrataFrame database (used by design-time) to those tables?
