ServiceStack CredentialAuthProvider with more than user / password

Question

I want to use a custom auth provider, but I don’t see how I can get standard Auth objects to process more of this user and password as parameters.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

Depends on what you want to do, if you want to create your own custom auth provider, inheriting from CredentialsAuthProvider, you can access various request parameters through the IHttpRequest object:

 public virtual bool TryAuthenticate(IServiceBase authService, string userName, string password) { var httpReq = authService.RequestContext.Get<IHttpRequest>(); var fromQueryString = httpRequest.QueryString["CustomField"]; var fromPostData = httpRequest.FormData["CustomField"]; var fromEither = httpRequest.GetParam("CustomField"); //Ext method }
