Accessing HttpContext and User Identity from data layer

Question

I need to implement AddedBy/ChangedBy type fields on my Base Entity that all other entities inherit from ( Fluent Nhibernate ).

Accessing HttpContext.User.Identity

Answer 1

The AddedBy/ChangedBy field is potentially important in any data backend. You may even want to have AccessedBy for logging purposes. Therefore, you would want to think that the user information is a central part of your data. It is also possible that you may want other details such as the client's IP address logged for security reasons. Probably a good idea to have the entire context rippled down to the data layer so that you have the flexibility to capture and save the client information.
