I wrote a custom authenticator, but the routes seem to be getting called without authentication anyways. Any ideas from the routing and the authentication pipeline snippets?

I’m afraid there is no enough context. Since the pipeline seems to be part of the class AccountSessionAuthenticationProvider that is not included, and no clue about the register method either

[bdawg.io]

io.ktor.auth.Authentication.Configuration.register(io.ktor.auth.AuthenticationProvider) is the full header for the register method

There’s not anything special about the AccountSessionAuthenticationProvider beside it extending from io.ktor.auth.AuthenticationProvider and it having the two configuration options on it

val authenticate: suspend (SessionToken) -> Principal? = provider.authenticate
val loginRedirectProvider: (ApplicationCall.() -> Url)? = provider.loginRedirectProvider

[bdawg.io]

Here’s the full implementation if it really does help

class AccountSessionAuthenticationProvider(name: String?) : AuthenticationProvider(name) {
    internal var loginRedirectProvider: (ApplicationCall.() -> Url)? = null
        private set

    internal var authenticate: suspend (SessionToken) -> Principal? = { null }
        private set

    fun redirectToLogin(provider: ApplicationCall.() -> Url) {
        loginRedirectProvider = provider
    }

    fun validate(validate: suspend (SessionToken) -> Principal?) {
        authenticate = validate
    }
}

my account session authentication is pretty close to the BasicAuthenticationProvider in ktor-auth, the difference being credentials are fetched from a cookie on the ApplicationCall instead of the Authorization header. https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-features/ktor-auth/src/io/ktor/auth/BasicAuth.kt
