authorization

I'am starting with Asp.Net Web API and here's my problem : I implement a custom authorization filter to inspect my message header looking for an API Key. Based on this API Key, I retrieve my user and then I would like to see if he can have access to some resources. The resources ID I want to check is on the parameters of the HTTP request. But when I'am on the AuthorizationFilter method, the actions parameters list is empty. How can I do that ? If I used an ActionFilter in replacement of an authorization filter, how can I be sure that this will be the first filter executed ? And globally, how

Let /users/{id} be a resource url in RESTful service. Basic authentication is enabled and only authenticated users are allowed to access the url. Example Scenario: User_1 & User_2 are authenticated users with userId 1 & 2.

Does any one have a good tutorial or site recommendation to help me out with this? It can be comprehensive

For example, I have a site that let people store their documents. The server stores these documents in S3 and I would like only the user who uploaded the document to have access to it. I know I can copy the S3 contents to my server and let only authorized users have access, but this will make the server slow. I would like to be able server the contents directly to the client's browser from the S3. Thanks. The link given in the

One web site is required to be accessed by me (developer) and one user (DOMAIN_NAME\USER_NAME). When I developed web site in visual studio using "automatic host" created by VS, the following settings in web.config were enough: <authentication mode="Windows"/> <authorization> <allow users="DOMAIN_NAME\my_name,DOMAIN_NAME\USER_NAME" /> <deny users="*" /> </authorization> But when I created web site in IIS I'm receiving error: Access is denied. Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the requested

I am writing an Authorize filter attribute adn I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the current url as a string so I can pass it as a parameter to the LogOn action. The goal is that if a user successfully logs on, they will be redirected to the page they were originally trying to access. public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizeContext filterContext) { base.OnAuthorization(filterContext); ... my auth code ... bool isAuth ; ... my auth code ... if(!isAuth) { filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult( new RouteValueDictionary { { "Area", "" }, { "Controller", "Account" }, {
