Following 'if' condition is not working i.e. Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher") is not returning anything (it is returning zero). what should I do to make it work? Requirement is to display different pages to users register as teacher and different pages to users register as student.
@if (Request.IsAuthenticated && Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher"))//HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("teacher"))//User.IsInRole("teacher")) //Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher"))
{
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Quiz Management", "Index", "Quiz")</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Browse Quizzes", "Index", "TakeQuiz")</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Assignment Scheduling", "Index", "Assignment")</li>
}
This is my register action method in account controller:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
try
{
var vRole = Request["selectRole"];
// WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection();
WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(model.UserName, model.Password);
WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password);
if (vRole.Equals("teacher"))
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "teacher");//AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "teacher");
}
else
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "student");
}
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
catch (MembershipCreateUserException e)
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", ErrorCodeToString(e.StatusCode));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}

I think I am missing something? What should I do to fix it ? Regards.

The FormsAuthenticationModule class constructs a GenericPrincipal object and stores it in the HTTP context. The GenericPrincipal object holds a reference to a FormsIdentity instance that represents the currently authenticated user. You should allow forms authentication to manage these tasks for you. If your applications have specific requirements, such as setting the User property to a custom class that implements the IPrincipal interface, your application should handle the PostAuthenticate event. The PostAuthenticate event occurs after the FormsAuthenticationModule has verified the forms authentication cookie and created the GenericPrincipal and FormsIdentity objects. Within this code, you can construct a custom IPrincipal object that wraps the FormsIdentity object, and then store it in the HttpContext.User property.
In other words, you need to create new GenericPrincial in the overridden Application_PostAuthenticateRequest method (see Global.asax). Something like this:
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequst(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
&& Context.User.Identity.AuthenticationType == "Forms")
{
// You should get roles in the user by his UserName:
// string[] roles = ...
// With Role provider it will look like
var roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(Context.User.Identity.Name);
Context.User = new GenericPrincipal(Context.User.Identity, roles);
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = Context.User;
}
}
