I use MVC4 web application with Web API. I want to create an action filter, and I want to know which user (a logged-in user) made the action. How can I do it?
public class ModelActionLog : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(SHttpActionContext actionContext)
{
string username = ??
}
public override void OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
{
??
}
}
Bit late for an answer but this is best solution if you are using HttpActionContext in your filter You can always use it as mentioned here:-
public override Task OnActionExecutingAsync(HttpActionContext actionContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
if (actionContext.RequestContext.Principal.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
var userName = actionContext.RequestContext.Principal.Identity.Name;
}
}
