Inrego 76 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 In my IService endpoint, I want to get currently signed in user (as in the user making the request). Is it possible? Currently, I am sending UserId in as a parameter, but it's not quite optimal this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14937 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Why is that not optimal? It is pretty much the only way to do it because the server itself has no "current user". Requests made to your service need to be on the behalf of whatever user is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inrego 76 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Intercepted requests could change the user ID. It's not really a problem in reality. My question was more around the thoughts that when calling the api, I have to authenticate as a user - and thus I was thinking that the current user must be available somehow on the server side. Since that's not possible, I will just continue sending in the user id, as it's not really a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
