User is in role “admin” but [Authorize(Roles=“admin”)] won't authenticate

Question

I found a great answer on SO describing how to set up custom user roles, and I\'ve done the same in my project. So in my Login service I have:

public Action         


        

Answer 1

I would change principal assign at first:

Thread.CurrentPrincipal = userPrincipal;
if (HttpContext.Current != null)
{
    HttpContext.Current.User = userPrincipal;
}

as ASP.NET documentation stands.
