I'm trying to make a section of a MVC 5 webpage restricted to users of a certain Active directory group, however the [Authorize] attribute (on controller) blocks logged in users aswell.
My Login page code behind looks as follows:
public class AccountController: Controller
{
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
}
// POST: /Account/Login
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
ActiveDirectoryHelper ad = new ActiveDirectoryHelper();
if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
{
if (ad.CheckGroupMembership(model.UserName))
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl) && returnUrl.Length > 1 && returnUrl.StartsWith("/")
&& !returnUrl.StartsWith("//") && !returnUrl.StartsWith("/\\"))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Credentials are correct but you are no authorised \n You Need membership in group: HKF-HIT-FortigateAPI-GS");
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect");
}
}
// if we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
// POST: /Account/LogOff
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
public class ActiveDirectoryHelper
{
string group = "HKF-HIT-FortigateAPI-GS";
public bool CheckGroupMembership(string name)
{
var context = new PrincipalContext(
ContextType.Domain,
"AD-Domain", @"Username", "Password");
var userPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(
context,
IdentityType.SamAccountName,
name);
var test = userPrincipal;
if (userPrincipal.IsMemberOf(context,
IdentityType.Name,
group))
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
The user passes and is redirected to Index in Home controller.
This controller however has the [Authorized] value set as follows:
[Authorize]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
And here the user in bounced back to the loginpage, as if he was not Authorized.
Also this is web.config:
In the browser i can see the ADAuthCookie.

EDIT: Question has been solved, after going trough the amazing guide linked by in the comments i realised i was never handling my cooke in the Global.asaz.cs Class.
Adding an overide to Application_PostAuthenticateRequest solved my problem.
The code i added ended up using:
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
if (authCookie != null)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
CustomPrincipalSerializeModel serializeModel = serializer.Deserialize<CustomPrincipalSerializeModel>(authTicket.UserData);
CustomPrincipal newUser = new CustomPrincipal(authTicket.Name);
newUser.Name = serializeModel.Name;
HttpContext.Current.User = newUser;
}
}
In global.asax and i also added:
CustomPrincipalSerializeModel serializeModel = new CustomPrincipalSerializeModel();
serializeModel.Name = model.UserName;
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string userData = serializer.Serialize(serializeModel);
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1,
model.UserName,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(15),
false,
userData);
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket);
HttpCookie faCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket);
Response.Cookies.Add(faCookie);
To my login page.
