ServiceStack CredentialsAuthProvidercheck if authenticated

Question

Is there an easy way I can easily check whether I am currently logged into ServiceStack Auth by using a REST endpoint?

Answer 1

ServiceStack v4 has been recently updated, Friday 16 May, (in this commit) to support returning session information by making a GET request to the Authenticate route /auth.

Thus if you have a valid session you will get a response such as:

{
    "UserId":"1",
    "SessionId":"1",
    "UserName":"bob",
    "ResponseStatus":{}
}

Otherwise you can always create a service that returns information about your session yourself. See my other answer for an example of this method.

Hope that helps.
