IsAuthenticated property is still false after user authentication in SignalR

I've a logged in user in my MVC web application, but IsAuthenticated property in my Hub class is still false. Here is my log in and redirection sequences:

  1. User submits a Login form.
  2. Application validates user information.
  3. Application creates FormsAuthenticationTicket and encrypts ticket using FormsAuthentication class.
  4. Application adds encrypted ticket to response cookies in FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName path.
  5. Then I redirect it to a view that start SignalR connection, when I check is user is authenticated or not in override OnConnected method, I find that it is still false.

How should I handle this issue, I don't have any problem with authorization in SignalR 1.1, I'm using same code but this time with SignalR 2.0.

Update: Actually it's not still false in SignalR Hub class it's false in all over application domain.

Any advice will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

In Visual Studio 2013, default MVC template uses ASP.Net Identity authentication system and puts <authentication mode="None" /> in web.config, so this prevents application to creates HttpCookie. I just change it to <authentication mode="Forms" /> and now it's working.

If you add cookie into response by yourself, you need to resolve it by yourself as well.

if(Login(model.UserName, model.Password)){
    // ecrypt user data and add to cookie
    // your code
}

// Global file code
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // decrypt cookie and set current principal
    // your code

    Thread.CurrentPrincipal = HttpContext.Current.User = principal;
}

In additional, you need a customer principal class to store user info if traditional GenericPrincipal does not fit.
