I'm trying to create a Blazor Server App using .NET 8. I've done this at home, but here at work Visual Studio 2022 only allows me to create a Blazor Server App using .NET 6. I've gotten into Visual Studio Installer, to check to make sure I have .NET 8 as a component, like I do .NET 6. I have both .NET 6 and .NET 8.
I've searched for similar questions here and found Why does Visual Studio create a solution not allow selecting .NET 8? @Anna Xiu-MSFT answer was to use a different Visual Studio template, Blazor Web App. My concern is I need my app to work with Windows Authentication!
I'm using Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise Edition.

2024-08-20T17:31:54.1933333+00:00 I just tried creating a new Visual Studio solution, using the
Blazor Web AppVS template. It will let me use .NET 8. If I set the Interactive render mode to Server, which is what I've done at home when I tried this, it gave me only two authentication types, None and Individual Accounts. That is not acceptable! I must have Windows as an authentication type.How do I get that under the current conditions?

2024-08-21T13:53:32.1866667+00:00 I've tried that, but it the new "Blazor Web App" template doesn't allow me to use Windows Authentication. That is necessary for this application.

2024-08-21T15:35:17.7833333+00:00 None of the blazor templates have windows authentication. You just need to add windows authentication as you would for asp.net core. This will create a User principal in httpcontext. The actual authentication will be performed by IIS.
Then configure authorization in blazor server. It will use the httpcontext user principal
