Another Security Exception on GoDaddy after Login attempt

Question

Host: GoDaddy Shared Hosting

Trust Level: Medium

The following happens after I submit a valid user/pass. The database has read/write permissions and when I remove the login requirement on an admin page that updates the database work as expected.

Has anyone else had this issue or know what the problem is? Anyone?

If you're using any third party components you might want to check to see if the components are performing some type of security action. A year or so ago I ran into an issue with GoDaddy and the SubSonic ORM, it had a problem with a particular line of code that was requesting a level of security. I cracked open the code in reflector, took a look , verified it.

This can be a problem. If the component is causing you the pain try downloading the code and removing the suspect code, recompiling and run with that. That is exactly what I had to do w/ the SubSonic code a year or two back.
