Server error: if (User.IsInRole("Administrators"))

In my MVC 4 internet application I can't use this:

@if (User.IsInRole("Administrators"))

It result in this error:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The >server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is >configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating >Server/Instance Specified)

This has been bothering me for quite a long time any help is REALLY appreciated.

Here is the stack trace:

    [SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)]

In MVC User.IsInRole or similar Authorization Methods are trying to use SimpleMembership provider by default.

If you are using a custom authorization you need to add the below code to your web.config:

<system.webServer>
  <modules>
    <remove name="RoleManager" />
  </modules>
</system.webServer>

If you are using SimpleMembership make sure its databases are initialized.

We had the same kind of problems and solved them. Check the following link

Error running MVC4 on Azure

The idea is to ensure the connection is created for every session started (so even after a timeout, where we had troubles as MVC uses a non existing connection).

This problem means that you can't connect to your database.

You should check your connectionstring and see whether you really have access to the database.

Note: It's possible that the connectionstring is correct and your database is available but that you have a network-related problem (port is not opened for example)

There's a possibility that you're using two different conncetion string (one for your normal data objects and one for the membership). You should check the following things:

  • (Supposing you're using SimpleMembership): Under the folder filters there's a class called InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute. Locate the call to WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection. The first parameter to that method is the name of the connectionstring it will look up in the web.config. Make sure this is the correct name
  • Look in your web.config and make sure that the connection string is correct (for the simplemembership provider)
