title: HttpContext.Current.User.Identity on AuthenticationManager.SignIn
body: <p>I am using ASP.Net Identity to manage my users.</p>
  
  <p>I am finding that after calling the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = isPersistent }, identity);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I check if the user is currently authenticated via <code>HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated</code> it returns <code>false</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I managed to get this to return <code>true</code> by doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to set <code>HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated</code> to <code>true</code>?</p>
