Retrieve User Identity [Question] about pysco68.owin.authentication.ntlm HOT 4 OPEN

First of all: Could you post a bit more of your solution? Just by what you're saying I'm having a hard time to see where the issue is.

Some clues:

• have you triggered authentication yet?
• is the NTLM auth middleware at the right place in the OWIN pipeline (before any application level middleware that actually answers requests)?

Hey , what do you mean by "have you triggered authentication yet?" do you mean that just with the default setup it does not ask for credentials ?

And I have to do that check everytime someone calls my api ? => if (this.User == null)
{
var ap = new AuthenticationProperties()
{
RedirectUri = redirectUrl
};

    var context = this.Request.GetContext();
    context.Authentication.Challenge(ap, NtlmAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
    return Unauthorized();
}

Btw tyvm for the fast response !

Well, as I said I don't know much about your setup.

It is common practice among OWIN Authentication middlewares to wait for a challenge before taking action. This means that if your controller / Nancy application does not require for authentication, then nothing will happen.

To be honest, I didn't try my middleware with Nancy. In ASP.NET MVC / WebAPI you define a per-controller/per-route authorization attribute or insert a small middleware that does so somewhere in the pipeline (usually before any business level controller are being handled).

Maybe this can help you a bit: https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/wiki/Authentication-overview
