microsoft-identity-web: [Bug] Adding Redis as Distributed Cache Triggers NullReferenceException

Which Version of Microsoft Identity Web are you using ? 0.1.1 preview

Where is the issue?

• Web App
  • Sign-in users
  • Sign-in users and call web APIs
• Web API
  • Protected web APIs (Validating tokens)
  • Protected web APIs (Validating scopes)
  • Protected web APIs call downstream web APIs
• Token cache serialization
  • In Memory caches
  • Session caches
  • Distributed caches

Other? - please describe;

Is this a new or existing app? Transitioning and existing application from the V1 endpoints to V2 and using this library. The conversion is just about complete but cannot finish testing with this bug in place.

Repro Simply adding Redis distributed cache to the tail of the services collection causes a NullReferenceException when attempting to fetch access token. Apparently, for some reason, this causes the HttpContextAccessor to return a null.

        public static IServiceCollection AddDistributedOrLocalMemoryCache(this IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration) {
            services.AddDistributedTokenCaches();

            services.AddDistributedRedisCache((RedisCacheOptions redisOptions) => {
                redisOptions.Configuration = configuration.RedisConnectionString();
                redisOptions.InstanceName = $"fischer-web-app-{configuration.EnvironmentName().ToLower()}: ";
            });

            return services;
        }

Expected behavior No exception

Actual behavior A NullReferenceException is thrown

Possible Solution Still investigating
