Owin application configuration with Castle TypedFactory

Question

I have a WebAPI application with Owin and Castle configured. That application will be hosted on IIS (So I install package Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb)

I would like to configure a token based authentication and have a customized OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider that will use a Castle TypedFactoryFacility(I remove that code in provided sample as it does not cause the error).

Here is Startup class code of my Owin application

    public class Startup {
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "DefaultApi",
            routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );

        var container = new WindsorContainer();

        //_windsorContainer.Install(FromAssembly.This());
        container.AddFacility<TypedFactoryFacility>();
        container.Register(Component.For<AuthorizationServerProvider>());
        config.Services.Replace(typeof(IHttpControllerActivator), new WindsorCompositionRoot(container));

        OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions oAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
        {
            AllowInsecureHttp = true,
            TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
            AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15),
            Provider = container.Resolve<AuthorizationServerProvider>()
        };

        // Token Generation
        app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(oAuthServerOptions);
        app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());

        app.UseWebApi(config);

    } }

WindsorCompositionRoot is the implentation proposed by Mark Seemann : http://blog.ploeh.dk/2012/10/03/DependencyInjectioninASP.NETWebAPIwithCastleWindsor/

When I try to debug my application I got the following error :

No component for supporting the service System.Threading.Tasks.Task was found

And here is the corresponding stacktrace

If I do not add TypedFactoryFacility to my container my project work without that error ...

Why Castle is injecting a TypedFactory in that place ? What can I do to avoid that error ?

Based on Samy and Phil Degenhardt tips, here is a way to force castle to not fill OnMatchEndpoint property and make it work :

container.Register(Component.For<AuthorizationServerProvider>()
            .PropertiesIgnore((m, p) => p.PropertyType == typeof(Func<OAuthMatchEndpointContext, Task>)));
