authentication of kendo ui for asp.net mvc

[Nheily]

Hi,
is it possible to authenticate a kendo ui for asp.net mvc app? i mean the same way we use [Authorize] for plain asp.net mvc 4.

Thanks in advance and i look forward to your kind responses

Hello,

 We are not sure what you mean by "authenticate a kendo ui for asp.net mvc app". Please clarify.

Thanks Atanas,
I would like to include a login page before getting to the main home page. With plain asp.net mvc4, i will include [Authorize] in the controller i would like to authenticate and it will call the login controller.
How can i do this with kendo ui for asp.net mvc??

Thanks again

Hi,

 You would do it in the exact same way. Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC is just as set of HtmlHelper extension methods which render Kendo UI widgets.

That's what i really thought but it seems impossible because kendo ui for asp.net mvc doesn't load the login controller so it cannot be used. this is the reason i inquired to see if there is any solution.

But thanks though

Hello,

 As I said Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC is nothing more but HtmlHelper extension methods. It doesn't interfere with the login controllers of ASP.NET MVC. I suggest you check the rest of your application.

All the best,
