MVC4 Extending WebSecurity.Login

Question

I have a need to use (and validate) both UserName, and Business Name as part of a Login Process. So that my Login Form takes in CompanyId, UserId and Password.

This all works fine up to the point where I call

 if (ModelState.IsValid && WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password, persistCookie: model.RememberMe))

I can't just add in model.Companyid as a parameter to that method, I am hoping that it is just possible to extend this, or do I need to write my own Login method from scratch?

Answer 1

Of course!

public class ExtendWebSecurity
{
    public static boolean Login(
        this WebSecurity ws,
        string username,
        string password,
        boolean persist,
        int companyId)
    {
        // Add your logic
        return ws.Login(username, password, persistCookie: persist);
    }
}

Note, this has not been tested.
