I'm experiencing an issue with the Preview functionality when logged in to Sitecore through Azure Active Directory.
Logging in through AD is following this approach: http://blog.baslijten.com/how-to-add-federated-authentication-with-sitecore-and-owin/
Once the Claim is returned from OWIN, a virtual user is created with the Role information from the claim and then logged into Sitecore.
Logging into Sitecore works just fine and I'm able to open up and use Experience Editor as normal. Whenever I try to launch Preview (either from the Publish tab or ribbon bar in Experience Editor), the below exception is thrown.
After the below error has occurred, the user must also re-log in to Sitecore again. If they try to close the preview tab and continue in Sitecore, the same error occurs.
One thing I have noticed when debugging through this is that when viewing Preview the Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.HttpRequestArgs.Context.User.Identity.Name changes from sitecore/userEmail to default/anonymous. Not sure if the change in user identity for Preview would be causing an automatic log out of the user when logged in through AD.
Has anybody run into something similar or know where to start looking?
