Authentication with SignalR
- [Instructor] If you're familiar with how to do authentication and authorization with a standard ASP.NET MVC application, you'll be pleased to know that it works pretty much the same in SignalR hubs as it does in standard MVC controllers. SignalR doesn't provide and special features for authentication, instead it just provides access to the authentication context built into ASP.NET MVC. Within a hub, you have access to Context.User.Identity, and this will give you the I identity of the currently authenticated user. SignalR also provides an attribute called Authorize, which lets you restrict access and set authorization roles. This attribute can be used on a hub or on an individual method within a hub. Next up, we'll see how we can use authentication and authorization to send private messages in Front Chat.
