Where in the request pipeline is PreAuthenticate called

ServiceStack Authentication
1

When in the Order of Operations is the IAuthWithRequest.PreAuthenticate() methods for configured AuthProviders of the AuthFeature fired?

2

It’s only called conditionally when it’s needed, either in the [Authenticate] Request Filter Attribute before validating if a user is authenticated, or the first time the Users Session is retrieved for that request, i.e. with req.GetSession().

thank you, makes sense
