WebConfigurationManager.GetSection in Medium Trust

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9nZXIgTWFydGlu?=]

Is it possible for a medium trust web application to read the Membership
providers? The following throws a SecurityExcepti on:

MembershipSecti on membershipSecti on =
(MembershipSect ion)WebConfigur ationManager.Ge tSection("syste m.web/membership");

I have custom sections in my web.config where I specify
requirePermissi on="false", which allows them to be read in medium trust, but
it does not seem possible to do this for the membership section. When I
attempt it, like putting the following at the top of web.config...

<section name="membershi p" type="System.We b.Configuration .MembershipSect ion,
System.Web" allowDefinition ="MachineToAppl ication" requirePermissi on="false"
/>

....I get the error "There is a duplicate 'system.web/membership' section
defined". I understand it may be possible to get around this by editing the
machine-level web.config so that allowOverride=" true", but this is not an
option in my case, as I am developing a web application for wide
distribution, and I do not want to require my users to edit the machine-level
web.config.

Thanks,

Bump. I am an MSDN subscriber, and I am under the impression someone from
Microsoft will answer this within two business days, but that time has
passed. Am I misunderstandin g something?

Thanks,

Did you register your posting address with MSDN ?
Unless you did, they have no way to assign priority to your question.

Re: WebConfiguratio nManager.GetSec tion in Medium Trust

That may be the issue. Unfortunately, the web site is not working for
configuring the e-mail alias, so I had to create a support incident that may
take a few days to sort out. Meanwhile, if anyone can address the original
question, I sure would appreciate it!
