I want to implement the Authorization for my project. It would be a custom authorization where admins can create roles and assign to users. The authorization is simple at the page level, either a user has access to page or not. Now can somebody suggest which is a best place to write the code for authorizing users - Global.asax or HttpModule? or somewhere else?
I have a Session variable which I need to access while authorizing users. I tried writing code in Application_AuthenticateRequest(Globaal.asax) but found that session is inaccessible in it. After googling, I found Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute is a safe place for Session to be accessible in Global.asax. So my question is that if Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute is called for each and every Request? and a safe place to write code for authorization? At times, I have noticed the Session is null in this event too.
