Is there a way to add claims in an ASP.NET Core middleware after Authentication?

Question

I have this in my startup:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperE

You can add another middleware immediately after the UseAuthentication() to add claims :

app.UseAuthentication();
app.Use(async(context, next)=>{
    if(context.User !=null && context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated){
        // add claims here 
        context.User.Claims.Append(new Claim("type-x","value-x"));
    }
    await next();
});

//  call other middlewares 
app.UseMiddleware();
