SignalR Context.User is null

Question

This is my class MyHub

public class MyHub : Hub
{
    public bool AuthenRequest(string customerId, string sessionAccount, byte[] cusId)
    {
        bool Authen = ATDChatServer.Instance.OnAuthenRequest(customerId, sessionAccount, cusId);
        if (Authen)
        {
            var user = Context.User;
            return user.Identity.IsAuthenticated;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

It throws an exception user is null.

I've searched some solution, one of those is: here

ConfigureAuth(app);
app.MapSignalR();

But when I insert this code to my StartUp class:

ConfigureAuth(app);

It shows error : The name 'ConfigureAuth(app)' doesn't exist in current text?

How to insert it?

ConfigureAuth is not part of some framework or library that you need to include. It is a implementation. If you new up a MVC project with authentication, you will see a "default" implementation of setting up the authentication pipeline.
