I am trying to get some custom field values from my authentication ticket by running the following code in my controller -
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Add(AddCustomerModel customer)
{
customer.DateCreated = DateTime.Now;
customer.CreatedBy = ((CustomPrincipal)(HttpContext.User)).Id;
customer.LastUpdated = DateTime.Now;
customer.LastUpdateBy = ((CustomPrincipal)(HttpContext.User)).Id;
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
_customerService.AddCustomer(customer);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(customer);
}
When I try and set the CreatedBy field for the new customer, I get the following error -
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal' to type 'GMS.Core.Models.CustomPrincipal'.
My userData field within the FormsAuthenticationTicket is set with a JSON string which contains two fields - Id and FullName.
Here is my login method on the controller -
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.EmailAddress, model.Password))
{
LoginModel user = _userService.GetUserByEmail(model.EmailAddress);
CustomPrincipalSerializeModel serializeModel = new CustomPrincipalSerializeModel();
serializeModel.Id = user.ID;
serializeModel.FullName = user.EmailAddress;
//serializeModel.MergedRights = user.MergedRights;
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string userData = serializer.Serialize(serializeModel);
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1,
user.EmailAddress,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddHours(12),
false,
userData);
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket);
HttpCookie faCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket);
Response.Cookies.Add(faCookie);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Dashboard");
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
method inGlobal.asax
where you create theCustomPrincipal
and assign it toHttpContext.Current.User
