I have a working Web API using Token validation but I want to retrieve the user who sent that token.
Request.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User.Identity.Name; // returns null
How can I achieve that?

I use owin and get the current user this way
ControllerContext.RequestContext.Principal.Identity.Name;
to check if it is authenticated
ControllerContext.RequestContext.Principal.Identity.IsAuthenticated
Be sure the username is linked to the token this way (it is on my
SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider : OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
class)
ClaimsIdentity oAuthIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(context.Options.AuthenticationType);
oAuthIdentity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, context.UserName));
