XML FeedsSo I have been using Nancy and my IIS is configured to use windows authentication.
Now how do I get the current authenticated user onto my webpage.
But first of all how do I get the name of the current authenticated user.
Well that was the simple part.
- HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
And there you have it.
Now we all know that we can do this in Nancy with Razor to get the current logged in user when using formsauthentication or basic authentication.
- Url.RenderContext.Context.CurrentUser
Of course we could do this in our Module.
- Context.CurrentUser = New User With {.UserName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name}
And that would work, but it would become very tedious to repeat this for every module we have. So we have to look for a better way of doing this. And of course there is.
We can make our own bootstrapper and change it in the nancy pipleine.
- Imports Nancy
- Imports Nancy.Security
- Public Class BootStrapper
- Inherits DefaultNancyBootstrapper
- Protected Overrides Sub ApplicationStartup(container As TinyIoc.TinyIoCContainer, pipelines As Nancy.Bootstrapper.IPipelines)
- MyBase.ApplicationStartup(container, pipelines)
- pipelines.AfterRequest.AddItemToEndOfPipeline(Sub(ctx)
- ctx.CurrentUser = New User With {.UserName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name}
- End Sub)
- End Sub
- Private Class User
- Implements IUserIdentity
- Public Property Claims As IEnumerable(Of String) Implements IUserIdentity.Claims
- Public Property UserName As String Implements IUserIdentity.UserName
- End Class
- End Class
So I added this to the AfterRequest hook And that changes the currentuser on every request for me.
I also created a class User because CurrentUser needs a class that implements IUserIdentity.
Cool huh.
Chris is awesome.
