Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin

Kind: Service

Source: Pams/Core/Pams.Security/Pams.Security.csproj (line 1)

Part of: Pams

NuGet package dependency

Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin is a NuGet package dependency declared by the Pams.Security project. It connects ASP.NET Identity authentication components with the OWIN request pipeline so the application can create, validate, and access authenticated user identities.

Usage

typescript
// A frontend client sends requests to an ASP.NET application that
// authenticates requests through Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin.

async function loadCurrentUser() {
  const response = await fetch("/api/account/current", {
    credentials: "include",
    headers: {
      Accept: "application/json",
    },
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error("Authentication is required.");
  }

  return response.json();
}

loadCurrentUser().then((user) => {
  console.log("Authenticated user:", user);
});

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin package references aligned with the ASP.NET Identity and OWIN package versions used by Pams.Security.
• Configure authentication middleware before endpoints that require an authenticated user.
• Access the authenticated principal from the OWIN or ASP.NET request context rather than trusting client-provided user identifiers.
• Preserve the legacy project package reference format when editing Pams.Security.csproj unless the project is intentionally migrated.
