Asp.net Webforms - Okta OIDC Request.IsAuthenticated is always coming as false

Questions
1

Trying to implement OKTA in one of the existing ASP.Net Webforms. This was successful in a test application when I followed the instructions in the link https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/08/29/secure-webforms-with-openidconnect-okta
I have implemented the same in our application and I could see the redirection is happening without any issue. But Request.IsAuthenticated is always coming as false, also not seeing any claim information in Thread.CurrentPrincipal.

What should be the authentication tag in the web.config when implementing okta ? I currently has this as Forms authentication.

Can you share the code you are using to:

  • Challenge the user (trigger the redirect)
  • Check for IsAuthenticated

This blog post series goes into a lot of detail on how to migrate a Web Forms project that uses Forms Authentication to OWIN. You may have already done these steps, but if not it is worth reviewing :slight_smile:

No problem, glad you got it working!

Out of curiousity, what was the line in web.config you needed to comment out?

Didnt realize I missed the tag in my previous post :slight_smile:
