MVC Custom Role Provider Missing

Question

I added a custom role provider, but for some reason I didn’t use it, it seems that by default it is used all the time. Here is my code for custom role provider

namespace Models.Security { public class MatchMakerRoleProvider: RoleProvider { public override string[] GetRolesForUser(string username) { username = username.Split('\\')[1].ToLower(); using (var db = new EncodingEntities()) { var user = db.Admin_Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName.Equals(username, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)); var roles = from ur in user.Admin_UserRoles from r in db.Admin_Roles where ur.RoleId == r.RoleId select r.RoleName; if (roles != null) return roles.ToArray(); else return new string[] {}; } } public override string[] GetUsersInRole(string roleName) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } public override bool IsUserInRole(string username, string roleName) { using (var db = new EncodingEntities()) { var user = db.Admin_Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName.Equals(username, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)); var roles = from ur in user.Admin_UserRoles from r in db.Admin_Roles where ur.RoleId == r.RoleId select r.RoleName; if (user != null) return roles.Any(r => r.Equals(roleName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)); else return false; } } } } 

My controller

 [Authorize(Roles = "SuperAdmin")] public class AdminController : Controller 

And Web.Config

 <authentication mode="Windows"> </authentication> <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MatchMakerRoleProvider" cacheRolesInCookie="true"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="MatchMakerRoleProvider" type="Models.Security.MatchMakerRoleProvider" /> </providers> </roleManager> 

If I set a breakpoint in my CustomRoleProvider, it will never hit ...

Any ideas?

Is the user provider code in a separate project in your solution and added as a reference to the MVC project in your solution? If so, you might need something like:

 <add name="CustomRoleProvider" type="Namespace.For.CustomRoleProvider, Your.Assembly.Name" />
