On Owin middleware Startup class I have added OIDC Authentication where response type is "code id_token". With this middleware I can access my authorized controller. But the problem is, I can't access my API in the same domain with this middleware.
I am using the access_token that i stored in the userClaim. But it is returning the HTML of IdentityServer4 login page.
[Filters.AuthorizeOIDC(Roles = "dukkan.sa")]
public async Task<ActionResult> ViewApiResult()
{
var user = User as System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal;
var token = user.FindFirst("access_token").Value;
var result = await CallApi(token);
ViewBag.Json = result;
return View();
}
private async Task<string> CallApi(string token)
{
var client = new HttpClient();
client.SetBearerToken(token);
var json = await client.GetStringAsync("http://localhost:57346/api/SampleApi");
return json;
}
The examples I got to secure MVC API is with IdentityServer3. They are using IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation package to authenticate the client from back channel during the API Access request:
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new IdentityServerBearerTokenAuthenticationOptions { Authority = "https://localhost:44319/identity", RequiredScopes = new[] { "sampleApi" } });
But IdentityServer4.AccessTokenValidation is not working with MVC5. I can use IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation in MVC 5. But this is accepting IdentityModel with version bellow 2.0.0.
Need solution for it. IdentityServer4 is not supporting properly for MVC.
Why do you want to use IdentityServer4.AccessTokenValidation with MVC5? Because the server is IdentityServer4?
There is no need for that. IdentityServer3 and IdentityServer4 are build on the same OpenId Connect specifications, meaning that you can use IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation for the client while the server is IdentityServer4.
In fact you can use any piece of code on the client that is build according to the specifications of OpenId Connect. I suggest you give IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation a try.

My application is a hybrid approach where use ASP.NET Core MVC as my backend. I have various controllers which my front end uses to pull data from our database and also to do API calls on MS Graph. I am using the following program.cs file to get the authentication initiated when a user first logs on to the site:
//authentication pipline
builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
var initialScopes = builder.Configuration.GetValue<string>("DownstreamApi:Scopes")?.Split(' ');
builder.Services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(options =>
{
builder.Configuration.Bind("AzureAd", options);
options.Events = new OpenIdConnectEvents
{
//Tap into this event to add a UserID Claim to a new HttpContext identity
OnTokenValidated = context =>
{
//This query returns the UserID from the DB by sending the email address in the claim from Azure AD
string query = "select dbo.A2F_0013_ReturnUserIDForEmail(#Email) as UserID";
string connectionString = builder.Configuration.GetValue<string>("ConnectionStrings:DBContext");
string signInEmailAddress = context.Principal.FindFirstValue("preferred_username");
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
var queryResult = connection.QueryFirst(query, new { Email = signInEmailAddress });
var claims = new List<Claim>
{
new Claim("UserID", queryResult.UserID.ToString())
};
var appIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims);
context.Principal.AddIdentity(appIdentity);
}
return Task.CompletedTask;
},
};
}).EnableTokenAcquisitionToCallDownstreamApi(initialScopes)
.AddMicrosoftGraph(builder.Configuration.GetSection("DownstreamApi"))
.AddInMemoryTokenCaches();
//Add Transient Services
builder.Services.AddTransient<IOneDrive, OneDrive>();
builder.Services.AddControllers(options =>
{
var policy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
.RequireAuthenticatedUser()
.Build();
options.Filters.Add(new AuthorizeFilter(policy));
}).AddMicrosoftIdentityUI();
builder.Services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorPagesOptions(options =>
{
options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToFolder("/Login");
options.Conventions.AuthorizeFolder("/");
options.Conventions.AuthorizeFolder("/files");
}).AddMicrosoftIdentityUI();
// Add the UI support to handle claims challenges
builder.Services.AddServerSideBlazor()
.AddMicrosoftIdentityConsentHandler();
builder.Services.AddRequiredScopeAuthorization();
In the Azure AD portal my application is registered as a web app. So when a user initially goes to the site they are redirected to https://login.microsoftonline.com/blahblah to get the login process started. This is automated by the Azure AD identity platform. Then once the login occurs they are redirected to localhost where the VueJS spa is loaded (localhost:43862). My spa uses various axios requests to the controllers and they pull data and vue router loads components. However, my issue is say the user needs to relog in because the cookie is expired or they logged out in another tab. The next axios request made by the expired session does not redirect the user to Azure login screen but instead results in an CORS error. So I need to get my axios requests to force the page redirect to Azure AD login screen (which probably is the worst idea since CORS policy is resulting in error) or have it return a redirect to localhost/login which is my own custom login screen with a button to Azure AD login and shouldnt impact CORS. So how do I intercept this Azure AD redirect to Azure AD login and replace with my own?
I have also tried to return a 401 error code so I could check for that in my axios request but to no avail it does nothing. If I put a breakpoint there it does hit this code but it does not change the status code of the response and I still get 302. My code for that was to try and add to the event :
OnRedirectToIdentityProvider = context =>
{
context.Response.StatusCode = 401;
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
My other ideas was maybe I should set my CORS policy to allow redirects from login.microsoft.com? Or would this be bad practice?
I can answer part of your question... First, for our API application which is protected by Azure AD, what the API should do is validating the request whether it contained a correct access token in the request header, if yes, give the response, if no, then give error like 401 or 403. A normal API application shouldn't have a UI to let users sign in. Anyway, if you want to expose an API in an MVC project, it's OK, but for API itself, it shouldn't have a UI.
Let's see sample below, I had a .net 6 web api project, and here's my program.cs:
using Microsoft.Identity.Web;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApiAuthentication(builder.Configuration);
builder.Services.AddControllers();
// Learn more about configuring Swagger/OpenAPI at https://aka.ms/aspnetcore/swashbuckle
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();
var app = builder.Build();
// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllers();
app.Run();
And it requires configurations in appsetting.json.
"AzureAd": {
"Instance": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/",
"ClientId": "azure_ad_client_id",
"ClientSecret": "client_secret",
"Domain": "tenant_id",
"TenantId": "tenant_id",
//"Audience": "api://azure_ad_client_id_which exposed_api" // here I used the same azure ad app to expose API, so I can comment this property
},
And this is the Controller:
[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
[Authorize]
public class WeatherForecastController : ControllerBase
{
[RequiredScope("Tiny.Read")]
[HttpGet]
public string Get()
{
return "world";
}
}
I had an Azure AD app, and I exposed an API like this:
I also add this API for the same Azure AD app.
Then let's do a test. When I call this API directly, I will get 401 error:
If I used an expired token within the request, I will also get 401 error:
But if I used a correct token(go to https://jwt.io to decode the token, we should see it containing correct scope, for me its "scp": "Tiny.Read",), I will get response:
And till now, the API part had finished. Let's see the client SPA. For SPA, you should integrate MSAL so that you can make your users to sign in via Azure AD, and generate the access token for calling MS graph API or your own API. The code for generating access token should be the same but you should set different scope for different API. In my scenario, my API required a scope Tiny.Read, then I should set in my client App.
Here's an screenshot for generating access token in react. You need to set the scope in your code.
Now you have the method to generate access token, you already know the API url. Then you can send request to call api, using AJAX, using fetch, or something else, sending an http request is ok. And in the calling api part, you also need to handle the response. If the response code is 401, then you need to do some logic, maybe redirect to the sign in page. And you said you had trouble here, you met CORS issue. I can't answer this part. I think it depends on how you redirect to Azure AD sign in page. I'm afraid you can take a look at this sample to learn how to sign in users and call graph api.
I have a working ServiceStack API that authenticates against a AzureAD tenant. We are trying to move this to start using Azure B2C. The application is build with c# and runs on net 5.0. I've managed to change the configuration to use the 'correct' config. I'm then using Postman to get my access token from my tenant suing the authorization code flow.
However, when i make a request to the api, the response is always a 401 status code.
Where in the servicestack code can I put a break point to see why this failure is happening? I have tried multiple places in our AppHostConfigurator.cs/AppHost.cs files, but the break points doesn't appear to display why a 401 is being sent back as a response. I'm sure it's something related to wrong claims/roles expected etc, maybe the Azure ADB2C application being setup incorrectly, but obviously i need to know exactly so that i can resolve.
I'm setting up the authentication like this:
private static void ConfigureAuthentication(IAppHost host)
{
var authProviders = new List<IAuthProvider> {new NetCoreIdentityAuthProvider(host.AppSettings)};
if (host.AppSettings.GetAllKeys().Contains("AzureAdB2C"))
{
var debugMode = host.AppSettings.Get(nameof(HostConfig.DebugMode), false);
var azureSettings = host.AppSettings.Get<AzureAdB2COptions>("AzureAdB2C");
var jwt = azureSettings.GetB2CJWTProviderReader(debugMode);
jwt.PopulateSessionFilter = (session, payload, request) =>
{
if (session.Email == null && payload.ContainsKey("upn") && payload["upn"].Contains("#"))
session.Email = payload["upn"];
if (session.UserName == null && payload.ContainsKey("unique_name"))
session.UserName = payload["unique_name"];
};
authProviders.Add(jwt);
}
var auth = new AuthFeature(() => new AuthUserSession(), authProviders.ToArray())
{
HtmlRedirect = "/account/signin",
HtmlLogoutRedirect = "/account/signout",
IncludeAssignRoleServices = false,
IncludeRegistrationService = false
};
// remove default service authentication services
auth.ServiceRoutes.Remove(typeof(AuthenticateService));
host.Plugins.Add(auth);
}
We are using swagger as well to call the API (which works as expected). This question is more about that requests that are submitted with a bearer token.
thanks
Please refer to this existing answer for examples of how to validate why a 3rd Party JWT Token is invalid with ServiceStack's JWT Auth Provider.
I implemented a token server using Identity Server 4.
I added a custom API endpoint to the token server and struggle with the authentication. The custom endpoint is inherited from ControllerBase and has 3 methods (GET, POST, DELETE).
I intend to call the custom endpoint from within another API using a dedicated client with credentials (server to server) implemented as HttpClient in .NET Core. There is no user involved into this.
For getting the access token I use the IdentityModel DiscoveryClient and TokenEndpoint.
So in sum I did the following so far:
setup "regular" identity server and validate it works -> it works
implement custom endpoint and test it without authorizatio -> it works
add another api resource ("api.auth") with a custom scope "api.auth.endpoint1"
setup a client with client credentials allowing access to scope "api.auth.endpoint1".
implement the HttpClient and test setup -> I get an access token via the Identity Model Token Endpoint.
Now, when I call the endpoint using the HttpClient with the access token I received I get response code 200 (OK) but the content is the login page of the identity server.
The documentation of Identity Server 4 state the use of
services.AddAuthentication()
.AddIdentityServerAuthentication("token", isAuth =>
{
isAuth.Authority = "base_address_of_identityserver";
isAuth.ApiName = "name_of_api";
});
as well as the use of
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = "token")]
Unfortunatly the compiler state that .AddIdentityServerAuthentication can't be found. Do I miss a special nuget?
The nugets I use on the token server so far are:
IdentityServer4 (v2.2.0)
IdentityServer4.AspNetIdentity (v2.1.0)
IdentityServer4.EntityFramework (v2.1.1)
Figured out that part. The missing nuget for AddIdentityServerAuthentication is:
IdentityServer4.AccessTokenValidation
Struggling with the authorization based on the custom scope.
Does anyone know how the security has to be configured?
Configure a client with ClientGrantTypes = client_credentials and your api like this:
services
.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddIdentityServerAuthentication(options =>
{
options.Authority = "http://localhost:5000";
options.ApiName = "api.auth";
});
Where ApiName is the name of the resource. Please note that resource != scope. In most samples the resource name is equal to the scope name. But not in your case, where resource name is api.auth and scope name is api.auth.endpoint1.
Configure the client to request the scope.
var tokenClient = new TokenClient(disco.TokenEndpoint, clientId, secret);
var tokenResponse = await tokenClient.RequestClientCredentialsAsync("api.auth.endpoint1");
IdentityServer will lookup the Resource name and add that to the token as audience (aud) while the scope is added as claim with type scope.
This should be enough to make it work. Also check the sample project.
Custom authentication scheme and scope based policies for different access rights bundled together looks like that:
// Startup.ConfigureServices
services
.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddIdentityServerAuthentication("CustomAuthEndpointsAuthenticationScheme", options =>
{
options.Authority = "http://localhost:5000";
options.ApiName = "api.auth"; //IdentityServer4.Models.ApiResource.Name aka Audience
});
services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
options.AddPolicy("Endpoint1Policy", policy => {
policy.AddAuthenticationSchemes(new string[] { "CustomAuthEndpointsAuthenticationScheme" });
policy.RequireScope("api.auth.endpoint1"); } ); //IdentityServer4.Models.Scope.Name
options.AddPolicy("Endpoint2Policy", policy => {
policy.AddAuthenticationSchemes(new string[] { "CustomAuthEndpointsAuthenticationScheme" });
policy.RequireScope("api.auth.endpoint2"); } ); //IdentityServer4.Models.Scope.Name
} );
// securing the custom endpoint controllers with different access rights
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = "CustomAuthEndpointsAuthenticationScheme", Policy = "Endpoint1Policy")]
It seems not to interfere with the IdentityServer4 default endpoints nor with the ASP.NET Core Identity part.
I am having trouble getting my current user's access_token.
Here is my setup:
QuickstartIdentityServer (QIS) in aspnet core, identity and EF storage
API (API) in NodeJs. Validates jwt tokens in header against QIS.
SPA angular app that works great with QIS and API and is out of the scope of this question
In a section of the QuickstartIdentityServer (QIS) site (user details page), I would like to call an API endpoint using an access_token to authenticate the request. I am struggling to retrieve the current user's access_token from my QIS site. Whenever I call HttpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token") I get a null value. I have seen this section of IdSrv4 documentation: https://identityserver4.readthedocs.io/en/release/quickstarts/5_hybrid_and_api_access.html?highlight=gettokenasync but it seems to apply to an MVC client and not my own identity server.
Anyone could shed some light on how to get my user's access_token ?
Thanks
EDIT
Here is a starting point to try to explain better my issue:
https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4.Samples/tree/release/Quickstarts/6_AspNetIdentity/src/IdentityServerWithAspNetIdentity
Starting from this QIS project, I would like to get the logged in user's access token. So for instance, if I edit HomeController to add this call:
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
var accessToken = await HttpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token");
return View(accessToken);
}
I would then be able to call my NodeJS API with this token in the Auth Header.
Hope this explains better my issue.
So I managed to authenticate myself w/ my API using a dedicated Client using client credentials grant and the following call to get an access_token:
var disco = await DiscoveryClient.GetAsync("http://localhost:5000");
var tokenClient = new TokenClient(disco.TokenEndpoint, clientId, clientSecret);
var tokenResponse = await tokenClient.RequestClientCredentialsAsync(scope);
Then I can add to my request header to API the access_token returned in tokenResponse:
using(var client = new HttpClient()) {
client.SetBearerToken(tokenResponse.AccessToken);
...
// execute request
}
The downside is that I can't "impersonate" the current currently logged on IS on API side.
I have one project (Project A) which is a .NET CORE API project using Openiddict with an endpoint of /connect/token to issue JWT tokens using Identity to handle the security etc. This project works great as is.
I have another project (Project B), which is just a very simple project with some HTML that makes requests to the API to get an access token, and get data from the API. This project also works great.
Now the part I cannot wrap my brain around, how do I use Facebook login between these two totally separate projects? I know how to use it if everything is under one roof, and it's really easy, but this scenario has me totally confused since everything is separated. So for starters, who handles the 'ExternalLogin', 'ExternalLoginCallBack' logic (from .NET web template using individual accounts), the API? The HTML project? When connecting with Facebook, what redirect uri should I use (API/HTML project)? Then who should have the below code in their 'Startup.cs' file?
app.UseFacebookAuthentication(new FacebookOptions
{
AppId = "xxxxxxx",
AppSecret = "xxxxxxxxx",
Scope = { "email", "user_friends" },
Fields = { "name", "email" },
SaveTokens = true,
});
And finally if this helps here is how I have Project A currently setup:
STARTUP.CS (API)
public void ConfigureServices function: (API)
// add entity framework using the config connection string
services.AddEntityFrameworkSqlServer()
.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
// add identity
services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
// add OpenIddict
services.AddOpenIddict<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, ApplicationDbContext>()
.DisableHttpsRequirement()
.EnableTokenEndpoint("/connect/token")
.AllowPasswordFlow()
.AllowRefreshTokenFlow()
.UseJsonWebTokens()
.AddEphemeralSigningKey();
services.AddCors();
public void Configure function: (API)
app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(new JwtBearerOptions
{
AutomaticAuthenticate = true,
AutomaticChallenge = true,
RequireHttpsMetadata = false,
Audience = "http://localhost:54418/",
Authority = "http://localhost:54418/"
});
Authorization Controller (API)
public class AuthorizationController : Controller
{
private OpenIddictUserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
public AuthorizationController(OpenIddictUserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
{
_userManager = userManager;
}
[HttpPost("~/connect/token")]
[Produces("application/json")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Exchange()
{
var request = HttpContext.GetOpenIdConnectRequest();
if (request.IsPasswordGrantType())
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(request.Username);
if (user == null)
{
return BadRequest(new OpenIdConnectResponse
{
ErrorDescription = "The username or password provided is incorrect"
});
}
var identity = await _userManager.CreateIdentityAsync(user, request.GetScopes());
// Add a custom claim that will be persisted
// in both the access and the identity tokens.
if (user.Avatar != null)
{
identity.AddClaim("user_avatar", user.Avatar,
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.AccessToken,
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.IdentityToken);
}
if (user.InSiteUserName != null)
{
identity.AddClaim("insite_username", user.InSiteUserName,
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.AccessToken,
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.IdentityToken);
}
identity.AddClaim("hasLoggedIn", user.HasLoggedIn.ToString(),
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.AccessToken,
OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.IdentityToken);
// Create a new authentication ticket holding the user identity.
var ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(
new ClaimsPrincipal(identity),
new AuthenticationProperties(),
OpenIdConnectServerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
ticket.SetResources(request.GetResources());
ticket.SetScopes(request.GetScopes());
return SignIn(ticket.Principal, ticket.Properties, ticket.AuthenticationScheme);
}
return BadRequest(new OpenIdConnectResponse
{
Error = OpenIdConnectConstants.Errors.UnsupportedGrantType,
ErrorDescription = "The specified grant type is not supported."
});
}
}
}
I don't know if it's including anything from Project B since it's pretty basic/bare and relies on the API for everything.
I know this is a loaded and complicated question, and I'm sure I'm not presenting it as fluidly as possible so I apologize in advance for that, like I said before, I'm confused. Thank you!
Now the part I cannot wrap my brain around, how do I use Facebook login between these two totally separate projects? I know how to use it if everything is under one roof, and it's really easy, but this scenario has me totally confused since everything is separated. So for starters, who handles the 'ExternalLogin', 'ExternalLoginCallBack' logic (from .NET web template using individual accounts), the API? The HTML project?
In the recommended case (i.e when using an interactive flow like the authorization code flow or the implicit flow), the authorization server project itself is responsible of handling the external authentication dance, using the social providers you've configured in your ASP.NET Core pipeline.
In theory, the final client application (i.e the JS app) doesn't even know that you've decided to use external authentication at the authorization server level, since it's not directly linked to Facebook or Google.
In this case, the redirect_uri configured in the Facebook options must correspond to an endpoint owned by the authorization server application (in your case, it's provided by the Facebook authentication middleware).
If you don't like this approach, there's also a different flow named "assertion grant", that basically reverses how things are handled: the final client app (the JS app in your case) is directly linked to Facebook - so the redirect_uri must correspond to the JS app - and uses OpenIddict's token endpoint to "exchange" Facebook tokens with tokens issued by your own server, that can be used with your own APIs.
For more information about this flow, please read Exchanging a google idToken for local openId token c#.
