Using ASP.Net MVC 2, is there any way to use the RedirectToAction() method of the Controller class inside a class that is based on the AuthorizeAttribute
class?
public class CustomAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute {
protected override bool AuthorizeCore(HttpContextBase context) {
// Custom authentication goes here
return false;
}
public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext context) {
base.OnAuthorization(context);
// This would be my ideal result
context.Result = RedirectToAction("Action", "Controller");
}
}
I'm looking for a way to re-direct the user to a specific controller / action when they fail the authentication instead of returning them to the login page. Is it possible to have the re-direct URL generated for that controller / action and then use RedirectResult()? I'm trying to avoid the temptation to just hard-code the URL.
