Custom authorization filter parameters - where are they?

Question

User853731431 posted

Lets say I make a custom Authorization filter and want to use parameters eg.  [MyCustomAuthCheck("test_value")], where are the value(s) stored?

How do I get "test_value" within the filter itself?  The OnAuthorization method takes a AuthorizationContext

Hi BitShift,

You could first create private property to store the value. In the constructor of you custom filter “MyCustomAuthCheck”, you could pass the value of “test_value” to the private property and then you could access this property in the method “OnAuthorization”. For more things, you could have a look at the following link which provides a detailed demo to explain this method.
