What is the difference between HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated and HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated?
Which one would you use in which situation?
301
It just holds the username of the user that is currently logged in. After login successful authentication, the username is automatically stored by login authentication system to "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name" property.
You can achieve this by manually settings HttpContext. User: var identity = new ClaimsIdentity("Custom"); HttpContext. User = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
Identity with a new IIdentity object that will return true from its IsAuthenticated property. Request. IsAuthenticated will then return true . In the case of Forms authentication, the forms authentication module uses the encrypted authentication ticket contained in the authentication cookie to authenticate the user.
There's absolutely no difference. Checkout HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated implementation:
public bool IsAuthenticated { get { return (((this._context.User != null) && (this._context.User.Identity != null)) && this._context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated); } } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
