Project was generated by yo aspnetcore-spa - React With Redux, with following settings

launchSettings.json

    "windowsAuthentication": true,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,

Symptom
User.Identity.Name; is always null in any controllers

Walk around
Set anonymousAuthentication to false can walk around it, but just curious why.
