boolean IsValidPrincipalName (
    String principalName
)

function IsValidPrincipalName (
    principalName : String
) : boolean

Parameters

principalName
The user, group, or computer name.

Return Value

Returns true if the supplied user name represents a valid principal name.

Remarks

The IsValidPrincipalName method is called by the report server when the report server sets security on an item. This method validates that the user name is valid for the current authority, for example, a Windows domain. The principal name needs to be a user, group, or computer account name. You may choose to provide an implementation of IsValidPrincipalName to provide additional validation checks on the principal identity.
