AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server

⚠️ This project has been merged into OpenIddict. For more information, read Introducing OpenIddict 3.0 beta1.

AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server is an advanced OAuth2/OpenID Connect server framework for both ASP.NET Core 1.x/2.x and OWIN/Katana 3.x/4.x, designed to offer a low-level, protocol-first approach.

The latest official release can be found on NuGet and the nightly builds on MyGet.

Get started

Based on OAuthAuthorizationServerMiddleware from Katana, AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server exposes similar primitives and can be directly registered in Startup.cs using the UseOpenIdConnectServer extension method:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddAuthentication().AddOpenIdConnectServer(options =>
    {
        // Enable the token endpoint.
        options.TokenEndpointPath = "/connect/token";
    
        // Implement OnValidateTokenRequest to support flows using the token endpoint.
        options.Provider.OnValidateTokenRequest = context =>
        {
            // Reject token requests that don't use grant_type=password or grant_type=refresh_token.
            if (!context.Request.IsPasswordGrantType() && !context.Request.IsRefreshTokenGrantType())
            {
                context.Reject(
                    error: OpenIdConnectConstants.Errors.UnsupportedGrantType,
                    description: "Only grant_type=password and refresh_token " +
                                 "requests are accepted by this server.");
    
                return Task.CompletedTask;
            }
    
            // Note: you can skip the request validation when the client_id
            // parameter is missing to support unauthenticated token requests.
            // if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(context.ClientId))
            // {
            //     context.Skip();
            // 
            //     return Task.CompletedTask;
            // }
    
            // Note: to mitigate brute force attacks, you SHOULD strongly consider applying
            // a key derivation function like PBKDF2 to slow down the secret validation process.
            // You SHOULD also consider using a time-constant comparer to prevent timing attacks.
            if (string.Equals(context.ClientId, "client_id", StringComparison.Ordinal) &&
                string.Equals(context.ClientSecret, "client_secret", StringComparison.Ordinal))
            {
                context.Validate();
            }
    
            // Note: if Validate() is not explicitly called,
            // the request is automatically rejected.
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        };
    
        // Implement OnHandleTokenRequest to support token requests.
        options.Provider.OnHandleTokenRequest = context =>
        {
            // Only handle grant_type=password token requests and let
            // the OpenID Connect server handle the other grant types.
            if (context.Request.IsPasswordGrantType())
            {
                // Implement context.Request.Username/context.Request.Password validation here.
                // Note: you can call context Reject() to indicate that authentication failed.
                // Using password derivation and time-constant comparer is STRONGLY recommended.
                if (!string.Equals(context.Request.Username, "Bob", StringComparison.Ordinal) ||
                    !string.Equals(context.Request.Password, "[email protected]", StringComparison.Ordinal))
                {
                    context.Reject(
                        error: OpenIdConnectConstants.Errors.InvalidGrant,
                        description: "Invalid user credentials.");
    
                    return Task.CompletedTask;
                }
    
                var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(context.Scheme.Name,
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Claims.Name,
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Claims.Role);
    
                // Add the mandatory subject/user identifier claim.
                identity.AddClaim(OpenIdConnectConstants.Claims.Subject, "[unique id]");
    
                // By default, claims are not serialized in the access/identity tokens.
                // Use the overload taking a "destinations" parameter to make sure
                // your claims are correctly inserted in the appropriate tokens.
                identity.AddClaim("urn:customclaim", "value",
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.AccessToken,
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Destinations.IdentityToken);
    
                var ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(
                    new ClaimsPrincipal(identity),
                    new AuthenticationProperties(),
                    context.Scheme.Name);
    
                // Call SetScopes with the list of scopes you want to grant
                // (specify offline_access to issue a refresh token).
                ticket.SetScopes(
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Scopes.Profile,
                    OpenIdConnectConstants.Scopes.OfflineAccess);
    
                context.Validate(ticket);
            }
    
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        };
    });
}

Note: in order for the OpenID Connect server to work properly, the authentication middleware must be registered in the ASP.NET Core 2.0 pipeline:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    app.UseAuthentication();
}

Note: the AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server 2.x packages are only compatible with ASP.NET Core 2.x. If your application targets ASP.NET Core 1.x, use the AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server 1.x packages.
