I have a web app MVC,using auth0 owin regular web app cookie based authentication.
This web app also has webapis which is used internally in the application. However i have a requirement to call this webapis from outside the application. So i created a restclient and tried to implement jwtbearerauthentication in application (but cookie based on authentication still in place).
Now when i call the webapi from other application it validates the bearer token gives no error however it redirects to login page due to cookie based authentication.
startup file:
public partial class Startup
{
private IPlatform platform;
public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app, IPlatform p, IContainer container)
{
platform = p;
// Enable the application to use a cookie to store information for the signed in user
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
ExpireTimeSpan = System.TimeSpan.FromDays(2),
SlidingExpiration = true
});
// Use a cookie to temporarily store information about a user logging in with a third party login provider
app.UseExternalSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
var provider = new Auth0.Owin.Auth0AuthenticationProvider
{
OnReturnEndpoint = (context) =>
{
// xsrf validation
if (context.Request.Query["state"] != null && context.Request.Query["state"].Contains("xsrf="))
{
var state = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(context.Request.Query["state"]);
AntiForgery.Validate(context.Request.Cookies["__RequestVerificationToken"], state["xsrf"]);
}
return System.Threading.Tasks.Task.FromResult(0);
},
OnAuthenticated = (context) =>
{
var identity = context.Identity;
//Add claims
var authenticationManager = container.Resolve<IAuthenticationManager>();
authenticationManager.AddClaims(identity);
if (context.Request.Query["state"] != null)
{
authenticationManager.AddReturnUrlInClaims(identity, context.Request.Query["state"]);
}
return System.Threading.Tasks.Task.FromResult(0);
}
};
var issuer = "https://" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["auth0:Domain"] + "/";
var audience = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["auth0:ClientId"];
var secret = TextEncodings.Base64.Encode(TextEncodings.Base64Url.Decode(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["auth0:ClientSecret"]));
app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(
new JwtBearerAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationMode = Microsoft.Owin.Security.AuthenticationMode.Active,
AllowedAudiences = new[] { audience },
IssuerSecurityTokenProviders = new IIssuerSecurityTokenProvider[]
{
new SymmetricKeyIssuerSecurityTokenProvider(issuer, secret)
}
});
app.UseAuth0Authentication(
clientId: platform.ServerRole.GetConfigurationSettingValue("auth0:ClientId"),
clientSecret: platform.ServerRole.GetConfigurationSettingValue("auth0:ClientSecret"),
domain: platform.ServerRole.GetConfigurationSettingValue("auth0:Domain"),
provider: provider);
}
}
webapiconfig file:
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApi", "api/{controller}/{id}", new {id = RouteParameter.Optional});
config.Filters.Add(new AuthorizeAttribute());
ODataConfig.Setup(config);
var clientID = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["auth0:ClientId"];
var clientSecret = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["auth0:ClientSecret"];
config.MessageHandlers.Add(new JsonWebTokenValidationHandler()
{
Audience = clientID,
SymmetricKey = clientSecret
});
}
Currently creating the jwt token from below code and posting using postman in header just to check if it works.. but redirects to login page.
string token = JWT.Encode(payload, secretKey, JwsAlgorithm.HS256);
