Hi guys,
I implemented my own WS for some custom operations and I would like to use the Webservices5.asmx to get Authentication tokens to use for call in my WS.

My workflow is like this:

1. Call WS4.Login with UserName/Password and get back an AuthenticationToken.

2. Call my WS.DoStuff( authenticationToken, myParameters).



The first line in my WS.DoStuff is (C# code .. sorry guys :)) :

if (AuthenticationToken.ValidateTokenForPermission(token, "07d8886d-c574-4121-958c-bb368c4b9f5c"))
{

...

}

where the "07d8886d-c574-4121-958c-bb368c4b9f5c" is the bvin of the 'Web Services Access' role.

I know user has that role. I'm very very sure of that, however I get back an exception "Could not authorize token" (or something simiar).



Is there a guide about how to use this? Can you provide some help on why I get an error or what is the correct way of using this call?



Thanks,

Corneliu.

More on this. I added two rows to the [bvc_RoleXRolePermission] to make a mapping betwen 'Product Admin' role and the 'Catalog View' and 'Catalog Edit' permissions.
So now this query:
select
bvc_User.bvin
, bvc_User.UserName
, bvc_RolePermission.Name
, bvc_RolePermission.bvin
from bvc_User
inner join bvc_UserXRole on bvc_User.bvin = bvc_UserXRole.UserID
inner join bvc_RoleXRolePermission on bvc_UserXRole.RoleID = bvc_RoleXRolePermission.RoleID
inner join bvc_RolePermission on bvc_RoleXRolePermission.PermissionID = bvc_RolePermission.bvin
where UserName = '<my user>'

returns
cff223b1-df11-4061-842b-70663deb8908 <my user> Catalog - Edit 0B2DCF72-145C-48e0-B5A3-7C54D44805D2
cff223b1-df11-4061-842b-70663deb8908 <my user> Catalog - View D0201557-356F-4ee6-A24C-3C0F85E2C472
which tells me the permissions/roles assignments for my user are all correct, however this code:
if (AuthenticationToken.ValidateTokenForPermission(token, BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core.Membership.SystemPermissions.CatalogView))
still returns false.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Corneliu.
