IsUserInRole method is not working properly - asp.net-mvc-4

Following 'if' condition is not working i.e. Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher") is not returning anything (it is returning zero). what should I do to make it work? Requirement is to display different pages to users register as teacher and different pages to users register as student.
#if (Request.IsAuthenticated && Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher"))//HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("teacher"))//User.IsInRole("teacher")) //Roles.IsUserInRole(User.Identity.Name,"teacher"))
{
<li>#Html.ActionLink("Quiz Management", "Index", "Quiz")</li>
<li>#Html.ActionLink("Browse Quizzes", "Index", "TakeQuiz")</li>
<li>#Html.ActionLink("Assignment Scheduling", "Index", "Assignment")</li>
}
This is my register action method in account controller:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
try
{
var vRole = Request["selectRole"];
// WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection();
WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(model.UserName, model.Password);
WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password);
if (vRole.Equals("teacher"))
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "teacher");//AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "teacher");
}
else
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "student");
}
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
catch (MembershipCreateUserException e)
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", ErrorCodeToString(e.StatusCode));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}

I think I am missing something? What should I do to fix it ?

The FormsAuthenticationModule class constructs a GenericPrincipal object and stores it in the HTTP context. The GenericPrincipal object holds a reference to a FormsIdentity instance that represents the currently authenticated user. You should allow forms authentication to manage these tasks for you. If your applications have specific requirements, such as setting the User property to a custom class that implements the IPrincipal interface, your application should handle the PostAuthenticate event. The PostAuthenticate event occurs after the FormsAuthenticationModule has verified the forms authentication cookie and created the GenericPrincipal and FormsIdentity objects. Within this code, you can construct a custom IPrincipal object that wraps the FormsIdentity object, and then store it in the HttpContext.User property.
In other words, you need to create new GenericPrincial in the overridden Application_PostAuthenticateRequest method (see Global.asax). Something like this:
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequst(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
&& Context.User.Identity.AuthenticationType == "Forms")
{
// You should get roles in the user by his UserName:
// string[] roles = ...
// With Role provider it will look like
var roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(Context.User.Identity.Name);
Context.User = new GenericPrincipal(Context.User.Identity, roles);
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = Context.User;
}
}

Azure connection to SQL from application

I'm trying to connect my webapp to my SQL Server. I currently have both resources:
I then entered the connection string with correct credentials to my app parameters:
I know this connection string is working because I also used it in Visual Studio, and I'm able to connect to my database.
Then, when starting the application and creating a user, I get the following error:
Full error is:
[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 is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 52 - Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.)]
I'm using Entity Framework with code first database creation, and there's currently absolutely nothing in my db. Do you have an idea of the missing step ?
Thank you !

Your config is currently using LocalDb and not the SqlServer provider. The DefaultConnectionFactory is used when no connection string is provided so in essence it is trying to use LocalDb which is clearly not what you want - you want it to use a specific SQL Azure database.
You should inject the System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices provider in your EF config.
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
and specify a connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DbConnectionString"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
connectionString="Data Source=xxx.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=xyz;Integrated Security=False;User ID=xyz;Password=pass;Connect Timeout=60;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=False" />
</connectionStrings>
You can then overwrite the DbConnectionString connection string in the Azure Portal.

How to change On Premises URL once set for local Ad group

We have different environments dev,test,stage and production.
I am in the process of creating a MVC 5 web site. I would like to enable authentication by using the On - Premises
as can be seen in the picture. I have a couple of questions regarding how to do this.
1) First we have different URl's (For AD groups webservice) for Dev,Test and staging and production domains so how do I go about changing them ?
2) How can i only allow access for say AD group "XYZ" only and not all the AD groups.
Web.Config is as below

The On-Premise Authority URL is just stored in the webconfig along with the Realm and Audience.
<appSettings>
<add key="ida:FederationMetadataLocation" value="https://fs.myDomain.com/federationmetadata.xml" />
<add key="ida:Realm" value="https://localhost:123/" />
<add key="ida:AudienceUri" value="https://localhost:123/" />

If you have ADFS set up as a claims provider then your groups will be a part of your identity on login. These claims would have been set up when you created the relying trust party that told your AD server that it's okay to issue stuff to your application. At that point you just query your claims token in MVC for the groups you want.

there is no roleManager tag in web.config

I am using Asp.Net with MVC4.
This is my Seed method:
protected override void Seed(eManager.Web.Infrastructure.DepartmentDB context)
{
context.Departments.AddOrUpdate(d => d.Name,
new Department() { Name = "Engineering" },
new Department() { Name = "Sales"},
new Department() { Name = "Shipping"},
new Department() { Name = "Human Resources"});
if (!Roles.RoleExists("Admin"))
{
Roles.CreateRole("Admin");
}
if (Membership.GetUser("Majid") == null)
{
Membership.CreateUser("Majid", "221230");
Roles.AddUserToRole("Majid", "Admin");
}
}
and this is my web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

but there is no roleManager tag and when I run update-database command it says that
The Role Manager feature has not been enabled
Can somebody please tell me what I have to do??
If it is not there, why not just add it:
Update:
<roleManager enabled="true">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" />
<add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
I think I have the Solution for it, I know it's late but it'll surely help new learners
This Issue is coming because your Solution doesn't have the correct DLL.
So their is no need for any code pasting,
Just go to your Nuget Packages and
Search for MVCInstaller.MVC4 Package and
Install it.
Make sure you check your Web.Config File again, because it won't overwrite the Lines, Instead it'll Add New Lines. So don't forget to Remove older Ones.
You're Ready to use your Command!

Roles.GetRolesForUser(); does not seem to work in MVC 4

I'm trying to create a new MVC 4 internet site using the internet template provided in VS2012. I am able to register users for the site and successfully log in and log out. I can see that the SimpleMembership has created 5 tables (UserProfile, webpages_Membership, webpages_OAuthMembership, webpages_Roles, webpages_UsersInRoles) and the logins that I created through the site have been put into the correct places (correct as I expect them anyway!)
What I am having trouble with is roles of users. Firstly I don't seem to be able to use the old ASP.NET configuration page - it takes forever to load and then when it finally does it gives this error when you click the security link:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
and this error when you try to do the provider configuration
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I tried running aspnet_regsql which created the old style membership tables along side the newer ones that the site had already created when I registered my first user.
so to get around that problem as far as creating roles was concerned I put a role into the database myself and put a user in the role. Now running the site I cannot use Roles.GetRolesForUser() either as it also says "Unable to connect to SQL Server database" while debugging (and the YOD gives a null ref exception).
I notice in web.config that there is no longer a section about membership/roles providers etc that used to be there (eg if you make an MVC 3 internet application)
I have been searching for answers for days can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?
Here is my web.config (with a connection string removed)
