Net Core - Cookie SameSite - asp.net-core

I found the problem in my project. The problem is that the cookie is not saved when the user is logged in via the iframe. Cookies are saved when you log in to the site normally, that is, directly through the domain. There are 2 different problems for me right now:
When logging into the site directly (www.example.com), the relevant cookie is saved. But this cookie is saved as Lax. I want it to be saved as none.
If there is no direct login to the site before, if you want to log in from within the iframe, the cookie is not saved. I want to create cookies on logins made via iframe.
I did not perform anything on the cookie. I guess SignAsync() creates the relevant cookies automatically. I am also attaching my codes inside the Account Controller.
public IActionResult Login(string returnurl)
{
return View(new LoginViewModel {ReturnUrl=returnurl, IsPersistent=true });
}
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model)
{
var result = await signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Username, model.Password, model.IsPersistent, true);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
return Redirect(model.ReturnUrl ?? "/");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("","Invalid User Login");
return View(model);
}
}
I also tried the solutions in the links below but it didn't work for me. Maybe I have applied these solutions incorrectly.

ASP.Net OWIN Setting Cookie but User is Immediately Logged Out

I have been having this problem for a couple months. The issue is sporadic and difficult to reproduce, but I have managed to find a somewhat consistent way to do it. I am debugging and see that as soon as it should redirect to /home/index, it goes to /account/logoff instead. If I test locally then it will work on the first login fine then it will fail if I use a different account. I set the CookieName and CookieSecure after seeing a couple of posts related to them. It didn't seem to help though.
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
CookieManager = new SystemWebChunkingCookieManager(),
CookieName = "NewImprovedCookieName",
CookieSecure = CookieSecureOption.SameAsRequest,
LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
LogoutPath = new PathString("/Account/LogOff"),
Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
{
// Enables the application to validate the security stamp when the user logs in.
// This is a security feature which is used when you change a password or add an external login to your account.
OnValidateIdentity =
SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<ApplicationUserManager, ApplicationUser>(
validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
regenerateIdentity: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager))
}
});
The LogOff happens right after this last line of code here.
private ActionResult RedirectToLocal(string returnUrl)
{
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
I tried updating everything in the project to see if it was a bug that was fixed at some point (this was an old project), but nothing seemed to help it.
Is there a way to fix this, or should I consider migrating to .Net Core?
I don't know if this is the best solution, but I did find one that works. I noticed that the SessionID was persisting after logging out. I added code to remove abandon the session and change the session ID, and it appears to be working now.
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
AuthenticationManager.SignOut();
Session.Clear();
Session.Abandon();
Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie("ASP.NET_SessionId", ""));
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

AspNet Core External Authentication with Both Google and Facebook

I am trying to implement the Form-Authentication in ASP.Net Core with Both Google and Facebook Authentications. I followed some tutorials and after some struggles, I managed to make it work both.
However, the problem is that I cannot use both authentications for the same email.
For example, my email is 'ttcg#gmail.com'.
I used Facebook authentication to log in first... Registered my email and it worked successfully and put my record into 'dbo.ASPNetUsers' table.
Then I logged out, clicked on Google Authentication to log in. It authenticated successfully, but when I tried to register it keeps saying that my email is already taken.
I tried to do the same thing for other online websites (Eg, Stackoverflow). I used the same email for both Google and Facebook and the website knows, I am the same person and both my login / claims are linked even though they come from different places (Google & Facebook).
I would like to have that feature in my website and could you please let me know how could I achieve that.
In theory, it should put another line in 'dbo.AspNetUserLogins' and should link the same UserId with multiple logins.
Do I need to implement my own SignInManager.SignInAsync method to achieve that feature? Or am I missing any configuration?
You need to link your Facebook external login to your Google external login with your email by using UserManager.AddLoginAsync, you cannot register twice using the same adresse if you use the adresse as login.
Check out the Identity sample on Identity github repo.
https://github.com/aspnet/Identity/blob/dev/samples/IdentitySample.Mvc/Controllers/ManageController.cs
To link external login to a user, the Manae controller expose methods LinkLogin and LinkLoginCallback
LinkLogin requests a redirect to the external login provider to link a login for the current user
LinkLoginCallback processes the provider response
//
// POST: /Manage/LinkLogin
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult LinkLogin(string provider)
{
// Request a redirect to the external login provider to link a login for the current user
var redirectUrl = Url.Action("LinkLoginCallback", "Manage");
var properties = _signInManager.ConfigureExternalAuthenticationProperties(provider, redirectUrl, _userManager.GetUserId(User));
return Challenge(properties, provider);
}
//
// GET: /Manage/LinkLoginCallback
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult> LinkLoginCallback()
{
var user = await GetCurrentUserAsync();
if (user == null)
{
return View("Error");
}
var info = await _signInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync(await _userManager.GetUserIdAsync(user));
if (info == null)
{
return RedirectToAction(nameof(ManageLogins), new { Message = ManageMessageId.Error });
}
var result = await _userManager.AddLoginAsync(user, info);
var message = result.Succeeded ? ManageMessageId.AddLoginSuccess : ManageMessageId.Error;
return RedirectToAction(nameof(ManageLogins), new { Message = message });
}

Ember + web api single page redirect

I have a asp.net mvc web api app with ember and simplemembershipprovider. I am using the ember template and with it, ember app is created upon user successfully logged in in the home controller.
public ActionResult Index(string returnUrl)
{
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
return View("App");
}
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
}
Sometimes user would click a link in an email with an id when visiting the site, if the url includes an id, upon successful login, I want to redirect user to a detail page base on the provided id in the url. An example would be http://siteURL.com/#/product/1412 . I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this. Since this is a client side ember route, MVC does not differentiate between this route and http://siteURL.com so it just ignores the redirect request. Here is what I have tried.
assign the url in the login controller - nothing happens after json data is returned, stays in the login page and never hit the HomeController even though user is not authenticated.
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);
returnUrl = "http://siteURL.com/#/product/1412";
return Json(new { success = true, redirect = returnUrl });
use response redirect. Same as #1
Response.Redirect(returnUrl);
Assigned url in home controller, same as above.
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
returnUrl = "http://siteURL.com/#/product/1412";
return View("App");
}
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
Most browsers don't even send the # up to the server, so you won't have it to redirect. Here's a few options
Don't use the hash, not every browser supports it, http://emberjs.com/guides/routing/specifying-the-location-api/
Give them a fake address that redirects, http://siteURL.com/Redirect/product/1412
inject that url into some js on the page that redirects on load

How am I supposed to use ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl in MVC 4

I'm working on 'ASP.NET MVC 4' application. I'm using/learning SimpleMembershipProvider and try to stick to the default logic created by VS2012 with the Internet template (if I'm not mistaken, the one with 'SimpleMembershipProvider' out of the box).
I'm stuck at the AccountController where I just can't figure put how exactly I can use this method:
private ActionResult RedirectToLocal(string returnUrl)
{
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
From what I understand the whole idea is to get redirected to the location from where you've decided to log in (exactly what I want to accomplish). I took a look at how it's used in the view :
#using (Html.BeginForm(new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }))
Look for a place where actually ViewBag.ReturnUrl is set with some value and I only got this method here:
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
}
and I'm getting pretty confused about how exactly I'm supposed to get the location/url. I set some breakpoints and I have never seen returnUrl to be something different from null which in this scenario seems pretty logical to me since it doesn't get value anywhere (unless I miss something of course).
So I really can't figure out how this work. I post the above just to show that I tried to do my homework, I investigate as much as I could but I didn't found an answer so I ask here. Could you provide explanation/example on how this actually work?
When using forms authentication and the user is not authenticated or authorized the ASP.NET security pipeline will redirect to the login page and pass as a parameter in the query string the returnUrl equal to the page that redirected to the login page. The login action grabs the value of this parameter and puts it in the ViewBag so it can be passed to the View.
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
}
The View then stores this value in the form as shown by this line of code in the View.
#using (Html.BeginForm(new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }))
The reason it is stored in the View is so that when the user does a Submit after entering their user name and password, the controller action that handles the post back will have access to this value.
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid && WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password, persistCookie: model.RememberMe))
{
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
return View(model);
}
If the model state is valid and they are authenticated by calling the WebSecurity.Login method then it calls the method RedirectToLocal with the value of returnUrl which came from the View, which originally came form the login action that created the View.
The returnUrl value will be null if the user is not redirected to the login page as is the case when they just click on the login link at the top of the page in the default layout. In this case the user will be redirected to the home page after successful login. The whole purpose of the returnUrl is to automatically send the user back to the page they were trying to access before they were authenticated/authorized.
That's because the default ASP.NET MVC template is using Forms authentication, and controllers are decorated with [Authorize] attribute:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
[Authorize]
public class AccountController : Controller
{
//...
}
That means that if the user is not authenticated it will be redirected to the logon page defined in the LoginUrl attribute of the forms element.
During the redirection, FormsAuthentication which is an HttpModule will append the url which was requested in the query string automatically.
So if you navigate to /Account/Login, you wont get anything in the query string since it is decorated with [AllowAnonymous] attribute.
But if you navigate to /Account/Manage you'll notice that the returnUrl in the query string becomes /Account/Manage (/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fAccount%2fManage)
So you are not setting the returnUrl, the framework does it for you, you just use it in the AccountController to know where to redirect the user after he is authenticated.
When an unauthenticated user tries to get into a section of your application which requires authentication, then returnUrl comes into the picture. The Url requested by the unauthenticated user is basically stored in returnUrl.

user isn't authenticated in custom authorize attribute

I've made my own authorize attribute, and this is what it looks like
public class RedirectAuthorize : AuthorizeAttribute
{
protected override void HandleUnauthorizedRequest(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
if (!filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(new
RouteValueDictionary(new { controller = "NotExist" }));
}
}
}
So if the user isn't authenticated, I want them to get redirected to the NotExist controller. I've debugged and it seems that unauthorized users get in the if clause, which is correct. But I've also tried doing this with logged in users, and they get in the if clause as well which is wrong.
I dont understand why this is happening. It makes me hesitate about whether my log-in didnt work. Is this the right way of logging a user in?
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(acc.username, false);
I've never made a log-in system in asp.net mvc before, so please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Edit:
It seems that the default [Authorized] attribute isn't working either... I really think the problem lays in the log in:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Login(User acc)
{
if(ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (Validate(acc.username, acc.password))
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(acc.username, false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "System");
}
}
ModelState.AddModelError("IncorrectDetails", "Wrong details. Please try again.");
return View(acc);
}
The custom authorize attribute looks correct.
Since you are setting the cookie yourself I would guess you are not using the built-in membership provider.
If you set the cookie yourself, you also need to read the auth cookie and set the Identity and Principal objects on each request. Otherwise, HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated will always be false, which seems to be what you are experiencing.
