Remarks

You apply the RequiresAuthenticationAttribute attribute to a domain method to restrict access to the operation to only authenticated users. When you apply the RequiresAuthenticationAttribute attribute to an entire domain service class, all of the domain operations are restricted to only authenticated users. The RequiresAuthenticationAttribute attribute prevents the method from being executed when the user is not authenticated. If you call a domain operation when the user is not authenticated, the domain operation returns an exception. You can avoid this situation by checking the IsAuthenticated property on the User object generated in the client project before calling the domain operation.

RIA Services also provides the RequiresRoleAttribute attribute to indicate that the user must belong to specified role or roles. You can also provide customized authorization requirements by implementing a class that derives from the AuthorizationAttribute and overriding the IsAuthorized method. For more information, see How to: Create a Custom Authorization Attribute.

Examples

The following example shows a domain service with the RequiresAuthenticationAttribute attribute applied to the GetSalesOrderHeader method.

<EnableClientAccess()>  _
Public Class AdventureWorksDomainService
    Inherits LinqToEntitiesDomainService(Of AdventureWorksLT_DataEntities)

    <RequiresRole("Managers")> _
    Public Function GetCustomers() As IQueryable(Of Customer)
        Return Me.ObjectContext.Customers
    End Function

    Public Function GetProducts() As IQueryable(Of Product)
        Return Me.ObjectContext.Products
    End Function

    <RequiresAuthentication()> _
    Public Function GetSalesOrderHeaders() As IQueryable(Of SalesOrderHeader)
        Return Me.ObjectContext.SalesOrderHeaders
    End Function
End Class
[EnableClientAccess()]
public class AdventureWorksDomainService : LinqToEntitiesDomainService<AdventureWorksLT_DataEntities>
{
    [RequiresRole("Managers")]
    public IQueryable<Customer> GetCustomers()
    {
        return this.ObjectContext.Customers;
    }

    public IQueryable<Product> GetProducts()
    {
        return this.ObjectContext.Products;
    }

    [RequiresAuthentication()]
    public IQueryable<SalesOrderHeader> GetSalesOrderHeaders()
    {
        return this.ObjectContext.SalesOrderHeaders;
    }
}
