ASP.NET MVC 4 Built-in Form Based Authentication
Given that I have some background knowledge of ASP.NET Web Forms Authentication, I decided to try experimenting on MVC 4 authentication/authorization framework. Most of the articles in the internet regarding forms authentication in ASP.NET MVC are custom based approach and less on the built-in technology which is WebData.WebSecurity usage. Not until I found these articles: a. Forms Authentication Customized b. Introduction to forms based authentication in MVC 4 c. Authenticating Users In Asp.net MVC 4 So, to cut the story short, I made an application which utilized the built-in WebMatrix authentication in MVC 4. The first thing to do, is to familiarize those articles to get a good grasp on the topic. The setup of my application are as follows: 1. Web.config 1.1 Added authentication and custom errors <authentication mode= "Forms" > <forms loginUrl= "~/Account/Login" timeout= "2880" /> </authentication>
