Since I had the roles of the users in the database I had to check against the database so I included this method in the global.asax
protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
if (Context.User != null)
{
IEnumerable<Role> roles = new UsersService.UsersClient().GetUserRoles(
Context.User.Identity.Name);
string[] rolesArray = new string[roles.Count()];
for (int i = 0; i < roles.Count(); i++)
{
rolesArray[i] = roles.ElementAt(i).RoleName;
}
GenericPrincipal gp = new GenericPrincipal(Context.User.Identity, rolesArray);
Context.User = gp;
}
}
Then I could use the normal
[Authorize(Roles = "Client, Administrator")]
On top of the actionResult methods in the controllers
This worked.
