MVC 5 app with Active Directory authentication failing Authorize attribute

Question

I have an MVC 5 web app that is set up to use Forms authentication as per this this link

It is successfully validating against LDAP (i.e., the call to Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.RememberMe) returns true) but when it redirects to the Index action of my HomeController, it is hitting the [Authorize] attribute and thinking that the user is not authorized for some reason, so it redirects to the login page again.

What am I missing here?

Did you ever come up with a solution, I am experiencing this as well following the guide you provided. — Joe Stellato, Apr 06 '17 at 03:56
I never did. I just did it the "MVC 4" way and it has been working fine ever since. — Douglas Barbin, Apr 08 '17 at 17:04

You need to add the authentication cookie to the response something like this:

   FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie((model.UserName, model.RememberMe)

or you can do it manually like it's described in this link
