How to Authorize SignalR Hub Connection using Cookie?

Question

I am very new to SignalR and I am trying to authorize connections to the SignalR Hub using Cookie.

Below is the code for my Hub Class;

[Authorize]
public class MyHub : Hub
{
    ....
}

and I've below code in the Application_Start

RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs();
GlobalHost.HubPipeline.RequireAuthentication();

Where am I supposed to do the Authorization process? Is there any specific event for this? Or AuthorizeRequest method which I can override?

Answer 1

Use the FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie

edit: Sorry I read, Authenticate but you ment Authorize. YOu can decorate the Hub methods with the PrincipalPermision attribute to Authorize the hub and its methods.
