How can I get user and claim information using action filters?

Question

Right now I am doing this to get the information I need:

In my base controller:

    public int roleId { get; private set; }
    public int userId { g

Create a custom ActionFilter class (for OnActionExecuting):

using System.Security.Claims;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;

namespace YourNameSpace
{
    public class CustomActionFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    {
        public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            ClaimsIdentity claimsIdentity = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
            filterContext.ActionParameters["roleId"] = int.Parse(claimsIdentity.FindFirst("RoleId").Value);
            filterContext.ActionParameters["userId"] = int.Parse(claimsIdentity.GetUserId());
        }    
    }
}

Then decorate a choice of Base Controller, Controller or Action(s) (depending on the level you want to apply the custom filter), and specify roleId and userId as Action parameters:

[CustomActionFilter]
public async Task getTest(int roleId, int userId, int examId, int userTestId, int retrieve)
{
    // roleId and userId available to use here
    // Your code here
}

Hopefully that should do it.
