Authentication/Authorization of an ASP.NET MVC Project

We're getting our new MVC project off the ground and are trying to tackle the concerns of authentication and authorization (through Action Filters preferably). Our roles will come across as AD groups (already determined for us) so all we really have to do is read the groups a user is in (from the identity). If you're in one of the grou...

Should I implement a custom properties file based authorization tag to go with authz from Acegi Security?

The typical way to do this is with the Acegi Security authz tag, as follows: <authz:authorize ifAnyGranted="ROLE_FOO, ROLE_BAR, ROLE_BLAH"> <!-- protected content here --> </authz:authorize> The problem with that appro...

Authorize an entire security group to perform an Action in ASP.Net MVC

Hello, I'd like to authorize users to perform specific actions within my controllers.

What's the purpose of claims-based authorization?

I've been reading about Azure's Access Control Service and claims-based authorization in general for a while now, and for whatever reason, I still don't see the rationale behind moving from role/permission-based authorization to a claims-based model. The models seem similar to me (and they probably are), except that the list of what the ...

Model-level authorization in Rails

I want to implement authorization in my Rails application on a model level (not controller), in a similar way that validation on models is done. What is the best way to do this?

How do I create a selective Windows Authorise in ASP.Net MVC

I want to use Windows authentication within an MVC app, but only for certain areas of the site (i.e. admin area). Currently I've set in the web.config; but unlike the Forms one this seems to force authentication on the whole application even though the controlers don't contain the [Authorize] filter. Is this feature built in or will I...

Rails - Roles or Inheritance?

I began writing an app using declarative_authorization (http://github.com/stffn/declarative%5Fauthorization) but I'm now wondering if it's the correct approach. In my app, I was giving some Users a "customer" role, some an "administrator" role, and some a "superadmin" role. That was working fine, but I now realise that I need some field...
