Our application requires users to be able to access certain pages only after they've completed other pages on our site.  So i add roles to the users account after they've finished certain things.  The code I use is below.  The problem that recently started was that the role gets added immediately, but the user can't access a page until 30 seconds to a minute after the role was added. 

It worked before, but over the past few days i've noticed that this isn't happening immediatley any more.  Are there any host settings that need to be set for this to work?  Any suggestions would be great.  We are using version 04.04.01.  And I'm using vs 2003 to program it. 

Thanks,

This code fires on a cmdUpdate click event.

 Dim objCtlRole As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController Dim objRoleInfo As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleInfoTrue) Dim arrPortalRoles() As String = objCtlRole.GetRolesByUser(UserId, PortalId) Dim strPortalRoles As String = String.Join(";", arrPortalRoles) Dim RolesTicket As New System.Web.Security.formsAuthenticationTicket(1, UserInfo.Username, DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1), DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1), False, strPortalRoles) Dim strRoles As String = System.Web.Security.formsAuthentication.Encrypt(RolesTicket)'  send roles cookie to client

 Response.Cookies("portalroles").Value = strRoles

 DataCache.ClearPortalCache(PortalId,

Thanks,

My issue is that, the role is created for the user, but sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to see it show up for the user.  It is immediately entered into the db, but a page will tell the user that they do not have access.  But if they wait a few minutes they can access the page.

It happens occassionally with different users in different locations.  So I'm not sure if there is  a browser setting that needs to be set on the clients browser.

Any info would be great.

Thanks Cathal,

Are you saying i need to create the cookie after the redirect? 

The next line after the code posted is response.redirect(navigateurl(tabid)).  Do I have to run the security code and create a new cookie after the redirect?
