Can't get userID when logged in on an anonymous page

[thewebchameleon]

I am trying to implement a shopping cart and I can't access the User ID from the HttpUnitOfWork class when I am on an anonymous page.

The method in question is HttpContext?.User.FindFirst(ClaimConstants.Subject) or HttpContext?.User.FindFirst(OpenIdConnectConstants.Claims.Subject)

The bearer token is being passed through on the request and when I hit a page with an Authorize attribute then I have full access to the claims.

Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way to manually get the user from the bearer token in the request header?

@thewebchameleon how did you solve this problem? I also try to get the current user in my controller, but I did not get it. Can you help me?

I Tried this, It's seems like User in HttpContext is always null, but the user is logged in. I can not understand what the problem is, help :)

Ensure you have access to the user manager (just inject it into the constructor) and then return you should be able to use it to retrieve the user from the HttpContext user i.e.

_userManager.GetUserId(HttpContext.User);

You need to ensure the action method has an Authenticate attribute for the User in HttpContext.

If you're using an action method that does not have an Authentcate attribute then I inferred the user by looking at the session ID which is passed through the HTTP headers

I ended up storing the user ID along with session ID in a table and then doing a lookup to get the User ID

I will check out injecting the UserManager today to see if that works
