Is it best to create a separate view for authorized and unauthorized even if there will not be a lot of additional information in the authorized view? Or should there be one view and with model data adjusted accordingly? EDIT: In MVC, I believe it better to have 2 views and then use partial views for the duplicate information. agree? ...
Hello, I am using successfully custom authorization in ASP.NET MVC. It simply involves a comparison between User.Identity and the owner of the object in context. It works like a charm when used in simple conditions. It becomes more complicated when I try to call 2 actions in one web request. Lets say I want to display an image which w...
I have a web application that uses AzMan authorization to grant different functionality to different users. I've just started using WatiN to implement some automated web UI tests that run under Visual Studio Team System/TFS. I'd like to be able to use it to verify the different authorization scenarios. To do this though I'd need to be ab...
Hi Folks, I'm using OpenId in my ASP.NET MVC application. Works great :) Once i have the user's OpenId Identifier (once they have authenticated and returned to my site), i load up the users data (to get display name, etc).

I'm ...
Hi Everybody. So, I come from a ASP.NET 2.0 WebForms background and am new to ASP.NET MVC which I find it wonderful, however, i've been somewhat accostumed to it.

I am interested if anyone has experience using DotNetNuke authorization in CSLA. I would like to be able to use my DotNetNuke roles to be able to assign permissions to my CSLA objects and properties. If I just reference the DNN assemblies won't that create an unwanted dependency in my CSLA business objects? Would it be easier to build...
I'm reading up on ASP .NET MVC, and I just got to a section talking about the Authorize attribute. It's saying that the Authorize attribute is used to check that a user is authenticated against a Controller. Is this true? I know that the attribute is designed to be used for authorization purposes, but is it also a best practice to use...

I've tried these gems/plugins so far: Lockdown rails_authorization_plugin ACL9 I've also looked at, but not tried implementing: Padlock I've searched around for a good tutorial detailing how to set up any of these with Authlogic in a way that makes...
I have a question about custom authorization in MVC. I have a site that I want to limit access to certain pages, depending on their group membership. Now I have seen tons of examples on how to do this if there is a single admin group and a single user group, for example, but not any examples for a third level. For example, only user...
I'm looking for the simplest CMS that supports the ability to show different content depending on whether you are or are not logged in. Simplest because the school users are not the most sophisticated or tech-savvy users. The CMS is for a school site, which is not permitted to show some content (because of copyright etc.) to any users ...
I am working on a web application (C#, VS2008 with Entity modelling) and within about a year from now, they will ask me to add some login/authentication/authorization options to this site that can be managed through the site. Which is fine by me but I would like to know some good ways to implement such functionality. Visitors for this s...

Lets say I have centralized database and can't trust administrators (like in Azure or other cloud service). Lets say I solved the problem of authentication and I can trust user identity. Lets say I use certificates to authenticate and encrypt data (private key never leaves the client machine). How can I design the application/database t...
Let's say I have the following in a web.config: <allow roles="Developers" /> <deny users="*"/> This locks down access on .aspx, .asmx, and other .NET file types, but it's still allowing unauthorized users to open static files like image.jpg. I understand why the web.config isn't asked for authorization information when someone asks f...
