How to get the logged user with an OWIN authentication?

Question

The login code in my AccountController

var claims = new List<Claim>();  
claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Name+" "+user.Surname));
claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, role.Code));
var claimIdenties = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
var ctx = Request.GetOwinContext();
var authenticationManager = ctx.Authentication;
authenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties() { IsPersistent = false }, claimIdenties);

In my PrivateController I want to access to the Id of the authenticated user, I'm searching an ID field or something like that but

How to get the logged user with an OWIN authentication?

Edit

Request.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User.Identity

Gives me access to the following propertys:

• AuthenticationType
• IsAuthenticated
• Name //Claim.Name

How can I set an ID like a 'Claim.ID' and retrieve it?

Try this alternative:

var user = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User;

For getting name of the `user`:

string name = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User.Identity.Name;
