Question

I have a custom attribute for authorization on my controller, the details of which can be viewed here.

If this custom attribute returns false, it returns to the login screen. I want to add a error to my model for the login screen if the attribute returns false.

Any ideas?

For those who are looking for the answer, here is how I ended up doing it:

protected override void HandleUnauthorizedRequest(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
   if (filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
   {
      var result = new ViewResult();
      result.ViewName = "NotAuthorized";
      result.MasterName = "_Layout";
      filterContext.Result = result;
   }
   else
      base.HandleUnauthorizedRequest(filterContext);
}
