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.
I just tried creating a new Visual Studio solution, using the Blazor Web App VS 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?
Hey, Microsoft, why can't I post a comment to my question?
Nevermind, it takes several minutes before a comment appears, which I didn't know.

the "Blazor Server App" template is retired and only for .net 6. if you want to create .net 8 blazor server app, you use the new template "Blazor Web App" which support both server and client (WASM).
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.
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
