AbpSession Requirements #1573

Hi,

What is required for an AbpSession to be populated on a controller?

I am creating a custom REST API that uses an API Key to authenticate users and I want my API controller to inherit from AbpApiController. So I need to know what to set in the pipeline in order for AbpSession to be populated on the ApiController. Does it use Thread.CurrentPrincipal?

Regards, Sean

    Hi,

    It was using Thread.CurrentPrincipal to get userid/tenantid until ABP v0.11. Now, it gets from HttpContext.Current.User.

    I will try to show related code:

    1. This is the default implementation of AbpSession: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp/Runtime/Session/ClaimsAbpSession.cs">https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/as ... Session.cs</a>

    2. It uses IPrincipalAccessor to get current Principal, which's default implementation gets from Thread.CurrentPrincipal: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp/Runtime/Session/DefaultPrincipalAccessor.cs">https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/as ... ccessor.cs</a>

    3. For MVC/Web API projects, it tries to get from HttpContext.Current if possible: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp.Web/Web/Session/HttpContextPrincipalAccessor.cs">https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/as ... ccessor.cs</a>

    Hope that helps you to understand it.
