  MVC 5 Custom Identification

  May 01, 2020 02:20 PM|Salvodif|LINK

  Hi,

  I've a mvc5 application with a custom login. Nothing crazy I just get username and password from a MongoDB then I do my check.

          [HttpPost]
          [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
          public ActionResult Login ( LoginViewModel vm )
          {
              try
              {
                  if ( !ModelState.IsValid )
                      return View ( );
  
                  var db = new MongoDb ( );
                  var user = db.GetUser ( vm.Email.Trim ( ) );
  
                  if ( user == null )
                      return View ( "Home" );
  
                  string oldHash = user.Hash;
                  byte [ ] salt = user.Salt;
  
                  bool isLogin = Security.CompareHashValue ( vm.Password, vm.Email, oldHash, salt );
  
                  if ( !isLogin )
                  {
                      TempData [ "ErrorMSG" ] = "Access Denied! Wrong Credential";
                      return View ( vm );
                  }
  
                  SignInRemember ( vm.Email, vm.RememberMe );
  
                  FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie ( vm.Email, false );
  
                  Session [ "User" ] = vm;
  
                  return RedirectToAction ( "Index", "Dashboard" );

  Now till I'm in the same controller isAuthenticated is true but when I go do the Dashboard/Index

  class Dashboard {
  ...
      public ActionResult Index()
      {
          bool auth = User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;

  is false and if I use the [Authorized] decorator the user cannot access to the ActionResult.

  I think that everything is right but I would like to let things works :-)
  
  Thank you

  Hi,  Salvodif

  You need to add the following configuration in the "web.config" if you use FormsAuthentication.

   <system.web>
      <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2" />
      <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" />
  	  <authentication mode="Forms">
  		  <forms loginUrl="Dashboard/Login" timeout="2880" />
  	  </authentication>
    </system.web>

  Here is the result.

  

  Best Regards,
