Hi Kasper

Can you share little more context? What is the internal page?

I guess you login the user on the webapi using authenticate and getting back the JWT token?

How do you fetch the page? Using a regular URL (hitting the pageview?).

That would be mixing 2 different pipelines that do not authenticate the same way. 

If you are getting the page from the webapi as well, it will not be able to return the contents of the ICC app.

Hi Nicolai.

More context: The user visits a product page. Where you can buy the product in single pieces or in bundles. To Bundle look up take quite a while. So we fetch that async after internal page load. I fetch them through standard fetch in javascript. (In this case vue.js)

                    let requestUrl = `/Default.aspx?ID=1100&ICC_itemId=${productNo}`;

                    fetch(requestUrl)
                    .then(response => response.json())
                    .then(response => {
                         ...
                    })

The page I'm fetching is has an ICC app as content with this template:

@{
    int x = 0;
    bool hasPages = !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(GetString("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.Paging.HasPages")) ? true : false;
    string nextPage = "";
    if(hasPages && GetInteger("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.Paging.CurrentPage") < GetInteger("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.Paging.NumPages")) {
        nextPage = GetString("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.Paging.Forward.URL");
    }
}
{
    "bundleCount": @GetLoop("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.BundleLoop").Count(),
    "nextPage": "@nextPage",
    "currentPage": @GetInteger("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.Paging.CurrentPage"),
    "bundles": [
        @foreach(var bundle in GetLoop("Ecom:IntegrationCustomerCenter.BundleLoop")) {
            x++;
            if(x > 1) {
                <text>,</text>
            }
            <text>
                {
                    "bundleNo": "@bundle.GetString("BundleNo")",
                    "thickness": "@bundle.GetString("Thickness")",
                    "length": "@bundle.GetString("Length")",
                    "width": "@bundle.GetString("Width")",
                    "stock": {
                        "warehouse": "@bundle.GetString("Stock")",
                        "sea": "@bundle.GetString("StockSea")",
                        "units": "@bundle.GetString("StockUnits")",
                        "seaUnits": "@bundle.GetString("StockSEAUnits")"
                    }
                }
            </text>
        }
    ]
}

So I guess the user is already logged in on the page - otherwise you need to do that of course.

Then remember that fetch will not send over credentials - and that also no cookies - meaning that asp.net session cookie is not send as part of your fetch request and DW sees it as anonymous.

So you need to enable credentials and ensure cookies are send with the fetch request - then DW will recognize the user:

Yes that is correct, if no user is loggedin. We have a fallback user for annonymos users. 

Would it be better to move the login check and login to the template with the ICC so it is not through the API?

As I mentioned, the webapi login returns a JWT token that will not work for regular pages.

So you have to ensure you are authenticated on the page and that you send cookies on your fetch requests.

Do I misapprehend what your are saying? Should'nt just ensure that credentiels/cookes are sendt in the fetch with the credentials setting? Or do I miss some other steps?

Probably

1. A user goes to the website and logon to the site - the site now knows who the user is. (You cannot login using the webapi)
2. In your dev tools you can see that asp.net session cookie
3. Create a fetch request to the ICC page and ensure that you can see all cookies being send as part of the request (Check that in dev tools)
4. Then your ICC page should be executed in the context of the user

Hi Nicolai.

Ahh okay, i had it the other way around in my head.
So my problem is actually trying to log a user on with the webapi. Is there a way the log a user in through code?

Hi Nicolai. 

Thank you for all your help. I ended up sending the credentials in the post. It gave the best (for me) solution.
