We are using the HttpModule to hook in to the FormsAuthenticationModule and subscribe to the Authenticate event. When we use web forms this event fires in the module. When we are using MVC this event is not firing.

I have tried using the [Authorize] attribute on the Controllers and location in web.config (even though this isn’t best practice) to try and get this event to fire but it still does not.

The event does fire when using the Cassini webserver but does not fire on IIS 7.5 or IIS Express. We are running ASP.NET MVC 2 using .NET 3.5

EDIT

The Authentication event fires when we request a .aspx or .ashx file. If we request an extensionless file or a .css or .js it does not fire either.

An new ASP.NET MVC application will fire this event for every file requested.

Any suggestions?

    Our web.config was missing the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=”true” from the modules element in system.webServer. Once this was added all web requests receive the Authorisation event from FormsAuthenticationModule.

    <system.webServer>
    ....
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
    ....
</system.webServer>
