Error handling in Custom Authorization

Hi to All,

I implemented custom Authorization in WCF service like this

public class MyAuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
    {
        protected override bool CheckAccessCore(
        OperationContext operationContext)
        {
            //something
                return true;
            //other something
                return false;
        }
    }

also in added the required configuration in web.config.

all woks fine, but i dont know how to handle the exception when the request its not Authorized, so whenever somethig wrong occurs a "not at all look alike my application screen" is showed!

anyone can help me on how to handle this?

thanks!

Re: Error handling in Custom Authorization

If the CheckAccessCore method return false, it simply translates into the infrastructure throwing an exception. That exception is a FaultException that represents a sender fault for failing to properly authenticate. You can throw your own fault exception rather than true or false.

Re: Error handling in Custom Authorization

thks for your answer!

what I read about this issue, is that the infrastructure after receiving false from this method, it also throws an exception.

I solved this by implementing IErroHandler and treating the exception at my will!

Love WCF extensibility ! :)
