External Azure OAuth 2.0 Server for Authentication #4322

Hello,

We are currently using an ABP framework project with ABP version 6.0, Angular UI, and have the Identity Server Separated currently in the project. According to this github issue, ABP is pivoting away from IdentityServer4 with options to either implement OpenIdDict or use an "External OAuth server (like Azure or Keycloack) instead of OpenIdDict or IDS", stated in the issue. We are looking to remove IdentityServer4 as the IDS and integrate Azure AD as our external OAuth server.

Are there guides, solutions, or examples on how previous ABP users have implemented an external OAuth server, specifically using Azure if possible?

Thanks

    Hello,

    We integrated Azure AD to the ABP Angular application, allowing users to authentiate using Azure AD and the users are then added to the ABP Identity server.

    We then added the Volo.Account module and noticed that when using the SignInManager, the ABP framework pulls in an access token from Azure AD and then exchanges it for an application token which is returned to Angular and stored. Is there a way for us to not exchange the application token and keep the access token from Azure AD to call others apis with the Azure AD access token?

    Code below shows where the access token is acquired and exchanged in Volo.Abp.Account.Web.Pages.Account.Login.cshtml We print out the access token and it has the information we need, but we want that token stored in the frontend instead of the exchanged ABP token. Starting at line 191. https://github.com/abpframework/abp/blob/dev/modules/account/src/Volo.Abp.Account.Web/Pages/Account/Login.cshtml.cs

    var loginInfo = await SignInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
            if (loginInfo == null)
            {
                Logger.LogWarning("External login info is not available");
                return RedirectToPage("./Login");
            }
    
            var result = await SignInManager.ExternalLoginSignInAsync(
                loginInfo.LoginProvider,
                loginInfo.ProviderKey,
                isPersistent: false,
                bypassTwoFactor: true
            );
            Console.WriteLine("HELLO WORLD!");
            Console.WriteLine(loginInfo.AuthenticationTokens);
            foreach(var item in loginInfo.AuthenticationTokens)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
                foreach (PropertyDescriptor descriptor in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(item))
                {
                    string name = descriptor.Name;
                    object value = descriptor.GetValue(item);
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", name, value);
                }
    

    Thanks

    You can't do this, it's a designed process.

    You can create a new API that returns Azure AD tokens.

    //get origin azure ad tokens
    httpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token");
    httpContext.GetTokenAsync("id_token");

    Hello,

    Sounds good, thanks. For clarification, in the new API are you saying to make a new request to Azure to grab the tokens? Otherwise the tokens don't seem to exist in the HttpContext and need to be populated still.

    Thanks.

    hi

    The azure tokens will be stored in the HttpContext after you set SaveTokens to true, you can give it a try.
