Customer ActionFilterAttribute OnActionExecuting override never called

Question

I'm using MVC 4.

I code this customer attribute that inherits from System.Web.Mvc.ActionFilterAttribute

public class AuthorizedAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{    
    public AccessLevel Threshold { get; set; }

    public AuthorizedAttribute()
    {
        Threshold = AccessLevel.Anonymous;
    }

    public AuthorizedAttribute(AccessLevel threshold)
    {
        Threshold = threshold;
    }

    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        //some actions
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

And I'm using it on action Manage in my UserController

public class UserController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    [Authorized(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
    public ViewResult Manage()
    {
         return View();
    }
}

I put a breakpoint in my attribute contructor, in the overrided method OnActionExecuting and in my UserController and when I call the action url through my browser in debug mode only my controller breakpoint is firing and I land on the page even I'm not authenticated.. What am I doing wrong ?

Thank in advance.

Your code should work. Probably you have troubles in the routing or etc.

No my routing is good, my breakpoint in my controller methods is firing, but not those in my attribute.. – MrGrabazu Jul 14 '14 at 08:27
in this case I can figure it out only if i take a look on this functionality on the project. – Sergey Jul 14 '14 at 11:15
Which other information do you need to know if it's ok or not ? – MrGrabazu Jul 14 '14 at 16:52

It appear that I wasn't completly in MVC 4 but almost in MVC 5. I just need to do a little update on my web.config to resolve my issue.. I found my salvation here
