Umbraco

What packages or solutions are you using for protecting media items in Umbraco 10+?

I know a lot of people use https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/mediaprotect

<@1060526283995480174> are you able to share your middleware class at all please?

message

Code attached, I have roles assigned to media items so access is based on those, but you should get the jist of it

registered in startup
```csharp
            app.UseAuthentication();
            // Create branch to the ProtectedMediaHandler. 
            // All requests ending containing media will follow this branch.
            app.ProtectedMediaHandler();

            app.UseRouting();
```

```csharp
    public static IApplicationBuilder ProtectedMediaHandler(this IApplicationBuilder builder)
    {
        return builder.UseMiddleware<ProtectedMediaHandlerMiddleware>();
    }
```

to late to reply on this <@715949483350949901> , but i do exactly the same as <@1060526283995480174>. but in our case it's slightly different as we use jwt tokens to validate members / groups. but the logic is preaty much the same.

Thanks <@1060526283995480174> and <@955014037337415691> 
I'll see if I can get something working with this and provide back any improvements if I make them

<@1060526283995480174> <@955014037337415691> I've got it set up in a basic site. Got it debugging but it only hits when i request a page and if i request an image url it doesn't hit the middleware

I'll test mine, what umbraco version are you using?

hum... do you have more then one Middleware?

It's a clean umbraco site with clean starter kit installed and then this code added

i think you must attach the middleware before the ones from umbraco. let me check my startup class

Needs to come before the umbraco stuff especially anything to do with routing

yes, it's in fact the first thing i do inside  the Configure method <@715949483350949901>

Thanks, got it working now. I think the image was being cached by Image Sharp

Media Protect doesn't work on Linux though. Just so you know 😉
