How do you give permissions to ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit in web.config?

Question

Hi, I've been trying to add the ASP.NET toolkit to my web application and I can get the demo site to work but I can't seem to implement any of the controls in my application. After playing around with it for a while, I think I've found the problem. In my web.config, I have:

<authorization>
    <allow roles="Users"/>
    <deny users="*"/>
</authorization>

If I change it to:

<authorization>
    <allow roles="Users"/>
</authorization>

Then everything works wonderfully. Is there a set of permissions I need to include to get the Toolkit to work?

Thanks!

What errors are you seeing?

Have you checked that scripts are being delivered correctly to the browser (Firebug makes it very easy to see all the called scripts, and their contents for example)?

If you're calling a page method, have you checked the responses coming back from your pages (once again, Firebug is your friend here - the console will show you the AJAX requests being sent and the responses from the servers).

I've just set up a quick test harness with an autocomplete extender from the AjaxToolkit on a page that is locked down in a similar way to how you describe, and it all worked fine - how have you configured the ToolkitScriptManager?
