Confirming the Role-based Security

To confirm that role-based security is working properly in an ASP.NET web application, you can follow these steps:

Create a new user account and assign it to the appropriate role. For example, you might create a new user account with the username “testuser” and assign it to the “Users” role:

string userName = “testuser”;

string password = “password123”;

string email = “[email protected]”;

Membership.CreateUser(userName, password, email);

Roles.AddUserToRole(userName, “Users”);

Create a restricted page or section of the application that can only be accessed by users in a certain role. For example, you might create an administrative page that can only be accessed by users in the “Admins” role.

Test the application by attempting to access the restricted page as the new user. If the user is not authorized to access the page, they should be redirected to the login page or receive an error message.

[Authorize(Roles = “Admins”)]

public class AdminController : Controller

{

// Controller actions here

}

Log in as a user with the appropriate role and attempt to access the restricted page. If the user is authorized to access the page, they should be able to view it and perform any applicable actions.

string userName = “admin”;

string password = “password123”;

if (Membership.ValidateUser(userName, password))

{

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, false);

return RedirectToAction(“AdminPage”, “Admin”);

} By following these steps, you can confirm that role-based security is working properly in your ASP.NET web application, and ensure that only authorized users are able to access restricted areas of the application.
