Asp.net vNext Cookie Authentication

Question

Our website needs to authenticate against a third party webservice and create a cookie. We don't need to store the membership information. I have the following code in Startup.cs

app.UseCookieAuthentication(options => {
            options.AuthenticationScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
            options.LoginPath = new PathString("/User/Login");
            options.CookieName = "GEMSNCID";
            options.ExpireTimeSpan = new System.TimeSpan(1, 0, 0);
        });

and the login method is

var claims = new[] 
            {
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, model.UserName),
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Country, "USA")
            };
            var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);  
            ClaimsPrincipal principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
            Context.Response.SignIn(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, principal);
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");

This is not working. Can someone please help.

What version of the package are you using? if you can see the options.AutomaticAuthentication property, you should be setting that to true. — Suhas Joshi, May 05 '15 at 16:58
It works with options.AutomaticAuthentication = true as @Suhas Joshi described! — Dmitry Sikorsky, Jun 12 '15 at 17:12

I think something change on the new beta 4 version. I will try this code is working on my my sample application

var claims = new[] 
{
    new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, model.UserName),
    new Claim(ClaimTypes.Country, "USA")
};
var user = this.User as ClaimsPrincipal;
var identity = user.Identities.Where(x => x.AuthenticationType == CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).FirstOrDefault();

if (identity == null)
{
    identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims.ToArray(), CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
    user.AddIdentity(identity);
}
else
    identity.AddClaims(claims);

if (this.Context.Response.HttpContext.User.Claims.Count() > 1)
    this.Context.Response.SignIn(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, new ClaimsPrincipal(identity));
