Thanks.

I am experimenting with the last option. I am using Impersonation to change my identity at the start of each test, and I am reading the login information from an XLS file. This is all in a test environment, so I don’t have any security concerns about storing username/passwords in the XLS file. After I am done, I hope to find the time to create a sample to post back to the site.

 

Thanks for your help and guidance.

Stan

If you are using a custom principal (which you are from your problem description), then you totally control how that principal is established. If you create a DataPortal_Fetch() in your identity object that can load from an XLS file or whatever, then you can do that. Or if you have a separate DAL behind your identity object, then perhaps you can use a provider model to load some other DAL implementation that reads the XLS instead of your normal security database.

 

Or if you want to use your normal security database, then perhaps you can have some code in your test project that loads the XLS and provides the appropriate username/password at the start of each test.

 

Those options come to me off the top of my head anyway.

 

Rocky
