Mocking User.Identity in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication.

I\'ve been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context

Answer 1

I've changed dev environment global.asax and Web.Config for use FormsAuth for force a specific user. The username uses the same WindowsAuth format. See:

public override void Init()
    {
        base.Init();

        this.PostAuthenticateRequest += 
             new EventHandler(MvcApplication_PostAuthenticateRequest);
    }

    void MvcApplication_PostAuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("Domain\\login", true);
    }

The Windows or Forms Auth shares the same login patterns.

The application will work with both Windows authentication and Form authentication.
