Does [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")] work out of the box in MVC 5 RTM with ASP.NET Identity ? I've had no luck. Note that [Authorize] and [Authorize(Users = "AdminUser")] work just fine, and the AspNetUserRoles and AspNetRoles tables are populated as I would expect them to be, establishing a relationship between the AdminUser user and the Admin role. This issue seems specific to roles. The user may need to be re-authenticated to receive new claims that include membership in the Admin role. Since MVC 5 uses ASP.NET Identity out of the box, and by default in MVC 5, ASP.NET Identity stores claims

I am trying to implement custom authentication using the new ASP.NET Identity in an MVC 5 project. I have a single username and password that I want to use to restrict which pages of the website the user can see via [Authorize] tags on controllers and views. (Easy) I am migrating from a FormsAuthentication model whereby this was as simple as putting the credentials in the web.config. Because I only have a single username and password I don't want to use a database as the UserStore , instead I want ASP.NET Identity to retrieve the username and password from a custom configurationsection in the

I am trying to set the redirect_uri for the facebook login with Asp.Net Identity. However, the GetExternalLogin REST method in the AccountController is only triggered if the redirect_uri is '/'. If I add anything else it does not trigger GetExternalLogin , the browser only shows error: invalid_request . However the url contains the redirected parameter as it should e.g. if I add the redirect_uri as http://localhost:25432/testing the response URL looks like this: http://localhost:25432/api/Account/ExternalLogin?provider=Facebook&response_type=token&client_id=self&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F

MVC5 uses a new Identity System. How can I get all role names? I try do access it via IdentityStore but without success. I've found that you can use the DbContext via the IdentityStore instance and use the well-known method .Set<T>() . This works for me: var identityStore = new IdentityStore(); foreach (var role in identityStore.DbContext.Set<Role>()) { Debug.WriteLine(role.Name); } joe This is a bit more intuitive var roles = dbContext.Roles.OrderBy(x => x.Name); There's currently no way to do enumeration style methods via the identity interfaces, that will be coming in a future update
