Custom Security Extension issue...

I have tried to write a custom security extension. When I run the report
manager I get ...
Object Reference is not set to an instance of an object.
It's breaking in GlobalApp.Application_AuthenticationRequest
I figure its because it can't find my extension but I have the correct Url
in the securityextensioncodegroup. Could it be the type attibute in the
extension tag?
Type="RSSecurity.AuthorizationExtension,AuthorizationExtension"You may be getting the exception in the GetWebRequest override in the
derived ReportingService class because the HttpContext.Current.Request is
null which causes the call to the AuthCookie property to fail. I'm having a
similar problem that I'm working through right now. Maybe this will give you
some place to start looking for the problem.
Just a thought...

Have you found a solution to this issue of the
HttpContext.Current.Request being null or found more information on
what might cause this to be null?

the custom security extension called a web service, and there was an invalid
type definition in the web reference. We had to delete all our binaries and
web references from the development environment, reattach the web references
and recompile. Then it worked.
I hope that points you in the right direction. Bottom line issue: don't
lose your cookies.
