Problem in authorization Manager while using AzRoles.dll   

Hi All,

I am creating custom RoleManager by using AzRolesLib.dll. I am facing
one problem that is in the method of IsUserInRole(string userName,
string roleName). The method definition is given below
	public override bool IsUserInRole(string userName, string roleName)
	{
     		string[] usersInRole = this.GetUsersInRole(roleName);

     		foreach (string currentUserName in usersInRole)
		{
                  	   if (string.Compare(currentUserName, UserName,
true) == 0)
    		   {
        			 return true;
    		   }
                	}
       	    return false;
	}

	public override string[] GetUsersInRole(string roleName)
	{
		AZROLESLib.IAzApplication application = this.OpenApplication();
		string[] usersInRole = null; AZROLESLib.IAzApplicationGroup
group=application.OpenApplicationGroup(roleName, null);
		object[] userNames = group.MembersName as object[];
		int limit = userNames.Length; usersInRole = new string[limit];
		for (int index = 0; index < limit; index++)
		{
 	  	   usersInRole[index] = userNames[index] as string;
		}
    	       return usersInRole;
	}


GetUsersInRole method is listing the users which are there in that
role if we add users in AzManStore.
In this case it is fine. Suppose if we use groups(Domain Users /Domain
Admin) in the AzMan store,
it is not returning the list of users in that group instead, it is
listing only the group name.
So i can't use the above method "IsUserInRole(string userName, string
roleName)" if we add the group in
the azman store instead of users, Since userName will not match with
the returned group name in method
GetUsersInRole(string roleName).
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hari
