authorization

I have a CustomeAuthorize action filter that forwards the user to signin page if user is not authenticated. I apply this filter to actions or controllers. [CustumeAuthorize] public ActionResult MyAction() { //do something here return View(); } and the filter looks like this: public class CustomAuthorizeAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { if (!currentUserIsAuthenticated) { filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult( new RouteValueDictionary{{ "controller", "Account" }, { "action", "SignIn" }, { "returnUrl",

Suppose a high-speed developer was tasked with building a banking application which would be accessed by many different people. Each person would want to access his or her own account information but would not want others to access it. I would like to know the best practice for restricting access in an MVC application so that only the user who owns the information (or an administrator) could access it. The Authorize attribute allows us to restrict by role. While this is a starting point, it seems that any authenticated user could gain access to any other user's information. ActionFilters seem

Hi I am trying to implement a custom Authorization filter //The Authourization attribute on a controller public class CustomAdminAuthorizationFilter : IAuthorizationFilter { private readonly IAuthentication _authentication; public SageAdminAuthorizationFilter(IAuthentication authentication) { _authentication = authentication; } public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext) { bool result = _authentication.Authorize(filterContext.HttpContext); } } As you can see on the OnAuthorization I get back a result that is true of false. What do I need to set to return where I came from?

How can I create a custom AuthorizeAttribute that specifies a message in the form of a string parameter and then passes that along to the login page? For example, ideally it would be cool to do this: [Authorize(Message = "Access to the blah blah function requires login. Please login or create an account")] public ActionResult SomeAction() { return View(); } Then, in the Login action, I could do something like this: public ActionResult Login(string message = "") { ViewData.Message = message; return View(); } And finally in the view I can do this: @if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ViewData.Message)) {

I have a link pointing to restricted page. When I access the link directly in logout status, its redirect to 404. Actually it should redirect to login form. I tried: config { typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages=PAGE_ID typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages_addParams = &return_url=###RETURN_URL###&pageId=###PAGE_ID### } Not working. Also I tried the login status redirect plugin, no use. Anyone know how to do this? I am using TYPO3 version 4.4.8. Mateng As this is still unanswered, does this help? # Check if user is logged in: [usergroup = *] # do something [else] page.config > page.config

I'm currently working to specify my company's new partner/public API, which will be a resource-oriented RESTful web service. The missing piece of the puzzle at the moment is authentication/authorization. The requirements are: Initially it must work for a server-to-server environment, e.g. a server application must be able to identify itself so that we know who is calling the API. In future, we would like to allow it to impersonate user accounts, so as well as the server being identified it would have a token that represents a user account for a limited period of time. OAuth seems to be ideal
