Ive implemented IDashboardAuthorizationFilter interface like this:

public bool Authorize(Dashboard context)  
{  
var owinContext = new OwinContext(context.GetOwinEnviroment());  
return owinContext.Authentication.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;  
}

and in the Startup.cs:  
app.UseHangFireDashboard("/hangfire", new DashboardOptions {  
Authorization = new [] {new AuthorizationFilter()}  
});

but the Server.User property in the owinContext is null.

I’m experiencing the same with IdentityServer3. Even though I’m accessing as a logged-in user, the Request.User is null.
