ServiceStack, Authenticate attribute - authentication

Question

I am trying to write my own authentication, so I inherited CredentialsAuthProvider and have overridden the Authenticate method. Auth is working fine, also when i call another service i can see all data that i saved in the session.
The Problem is: When i try add the Authenticate attribute and call it from a client, it goes and throws an Unauthorized exception, even if i want to use Requered Role.
Auth service is:
public class CustomCredentialsAuthProvider : CredentialsAuthProvider
{
public override bool TryAuthenticate(IServiceBase authService, string userName, string password)
{
return true;
}
public override object Authenticate(IServiceBase authService, IAuthSession session, Auth request)
{
session.FirstName = "Name";
//...
session.Authenticate = true;
session.UserName = request.UserName;
session.Roles = new List<string>;
session.Roles.Add("admin")
//....
authService.SaveSession(session, SessionExpiry);
// Return custom object
return new UserAuthResponse { SessionId = session.Id ......};
}
AppHost is:
public override void Configure(Container container)
{
Plugins.Add(new AuthFeature(() => new AuthUserSession(), new IAuthProvider[] {
new CustomCredentialsAuthProvider()
}));
Plugins.Add(new RegistrationFeature());
container.Register<ICacheClient>(new MemoryCacheClient());
var userRep = new InMemoryAuthRepository();
container.Register<IUserAuthRepository>(userRep);
}
and test service:
[Authenticate]
public class TestService : Service {
public object Any(UserRequest request) {
return new UserResponse{Name = request.Name};
}
}
It is not real code, so sorry for syntax mistake!))))
But the idea is the same! Help me please what is wrong, why I got Unauthorized exception when i call Test service??????????

Answer 1

When I had this issue, I had to create a custom authenticate attribute [CustomAuthenticate] with guidance from this gist -> https://gist.github.com/joeriks/4518393
In the AuthenticateIfBasicAuth method, I set provider to use MyAuthProvider.Name instead of BasicAuthProvider.Name
Then,
[CustomAuthenticate]
public class TestService : Service {
public object Any(UserRequest request) {
return new UserResponse{Name = request.Name};
}
}
