On my MVC 4 application I have a log in page which saves a user Id and transfers user to a Dashboard page in this way:
var user = _userService.GetUserByCredentials(accountCredentials.Username.Trim(), accountCredentials.Password);
if (user != null)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(user.Id.ToString(), true);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Dashboard");
}
If I log in with, for ex. Chrome I get transfered nicely to http://localhost:63377/Dashboard
on which I use User.GetUserId()
(on Dashboard controller):
_user = _userService.GetUserById(User.GetUserId());
Session["NimbleUser"] = _user.Firstname + " " + _user.Lastname;
An error is thrown if I copy the url(http://localhost:63377/Dashboard
) to a Firefox, IE,... my _user
on Dashboard controller is then null
, probably because User.GetUserId()
is null
. How do I repair this so I can copy url to other browsers and that my application still works?
Thanks in advance
