How to assign HttpContext.User value in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I am writing a controller as shown below:

public class AccountController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Login(/*---*/)
    {
        GenericIdentity identity = new GenericIdentity("userName");
        GenericPrincipal principal = new GenericPrincipal(identity, new string[] { "role1", "role2" });
        this.HttpContext.User = principal;
        /*---*/;
    }
}

After logging in, I can get the user name User.Identity.Name in another controller. But User.IsInRole ("role1") always returns false.

How can I assign a value to a user, I don’t want to use membership ...

Answer 1

Hm.

Using membership?

At least the lower level API. You must designate him as a director in some event (which basically turns into a cookie and deserializes with every call).
