Migrating from IdentityServer to OpenIddict Step by Step Guide

This guide provides layer-by-layer guidance for migrating your existing application to OpenIddict from IdentityServer. ABP startup templates use OpenIddict OpenId provider from v6.0.0 by default and IdentityServer projects are renamed to AuthServer in tiered/separated solutions. Since OpenIddict is only available with ABP v6.0, you will need to update your existing application in order to apply OpenIddict changes.

History

We are not removing Identity Server packages and we will continue to release new versions of IdentityServer-related NuGet/NPM packages. That means you won't have an issue while upgrading to v6.0 when the stable version releases. We will continue to fix bugs in our packages for a while. ABP 7.0 will be based on .NET 7. If Identity Server continues to work with .NET 7, we will also continue to ship NuGet packages for our IDS integration.

On the other hand, Identity Server ends support for the open-source Identity Server at the end of 2022. The Identity Server team has decided to move to Duende IDS and ABP will not be migrated to the commercial Duende IDS. You can see the Duende Identity Server announcement from this link.

Commercial Template

If you are using a commercial template, please check Migrating from IdentityServer to OpenIddict for the Commercial Templates guide. If you are using the microservice template, please check Migrating the Microservice Template from IdentityServer to OpenIddict guide.

OpenIddict Migration Steps

Use the abp update command to update your existing application. See Upgrading docs for more info. Apply required migrations by following the Migration Guides based on your application version.

Domain.Shared Layer

  • In MyApplication.Domain.Shared.csproj replace project reference:
<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.Domain.Shared" Version="6.0.*" />

with

<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Domain.Shared" Version="6.0.*" />
  • In MyApplicationDomainSharedModule.cs replace usings and module dependencies:
using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer;
...
typeof(AbpIdentityServerDomainSharedModule)

with

using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict;
...
typeof(AbpOpenIddictDomainSharedModule)

Domain Layer

  • In MyApplication.Domain.csproj replace project references:
<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.Domain" Version="6.0.*" />
<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement.Domain.IdentityServer" Version="6.0.*" />

with

<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Domain" Version="6.0.*" />
<PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement.Domain.OpenIddict" Version="6.0.*" />
  • In MyApplicationDomainModule.cs replace usings and module dependencies:
using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer;
using Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement.IdentityServer;
...
typeof(AbpIdentityServerDomainModule),
typeof(AbpPermissionManagementDomainIdentityServerModule),

with

using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict;
using Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement.OpenIddict;
...
typeof(AbpOpenIddictDomainModule),
typeof(AbpPermissionManagementDomainOpenIddictModule),

OpenIddictDataSeedContributor

  • Create a folder named OpenIddict under the Domain project and copy the OpenIddictDataSeedContributor.cs under this folder. Rename all the Ids2OpenId with your project name.
  • Delete IdentityServer folder that contains IdentityServerDataSeedContributor.cs which is no longer needed.

You can also create a project with the same name and copy the OpenIddict folder of the new project into your project.

EntityFrameworkCore Layer

If you are using MongoDB, skip this step and check the MongoDB layer section.

  • In MyApplication.EntityFrameworkCore.csproj replace project reference:

    <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="6.0.*" />

    with

    <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="6.0.*" />

  • In MyApplicationEntityFrameworkCoreModule.cs replace usings and module dependencies:

using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.EntityFrameworkCore;
...
typeof(AbpIdentityServerEntityFrameworkCoreModule),

with

using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.EntityFrameworkCore;
...
typeof(AbpOpenIddictEntityFrameworkCoreModule),

  • In MyApplicationDbContext.cs replace usings and fluent api configurations:

    using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.EntityFrameworkCore;
...
using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.EntityFrameworkCore;
...
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
    base.OnModelCreating(builder);

    /* Include modules to your migration db context */

    ...
    builder.ConfigureIdentityServer();

    with

    using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.EntityFrameworkCore;
...
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
    base.OnModelCreating(builder);

    /* Include modules to your migration db context */

    ...
    builder.ConfigureOpenIddict();

MongoDB Layer

If you are using EntityFrameworkCore, skip this step and check the EntityFrameworkCore layer section.

  • In MyApplication.MongoDB.csproj replace project reference:

    <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.MongoDB" Version="6.0.*" />

    with

    <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.MongoDB" Version="6.0.*" />

  • In MyApplicationMongoDbModule.cs replace usings and module dependencies:

using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer.MongoDB;
...
typeof(AbpIdentityServerMongoDbModule),

with

using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.MongoDB;
...
typeof(AbpOpenIddictMongoDbModule),

DbMigrator Project

  • In MyApplication.DbMigrator.csproj add project reference:

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting" Version="6.0.1" />

for creating the host builder.

  • In appsettings.json replace IdentityServer section with OpenIddict:

    "OpenIddict": {
    "Applications": {
      "MyApplication_Web": {
        "ClientId": "MyApplication_Web",
        "ClientSecret": "1q2w3e*",
        "RootUrl": "https://localhost:44384"
      },
      "MyApplication_App": {
        "ClientId": "MyApplication_App",
        "RootUrl": "http://localhost:4200"
      },
      "MyApplication_BlazorServerTiered": {
        "ClientId": "MyApplication_BlazorServerTiered",
        "ClientSecret": "1q2w3e*",
        "RootUrl": "https://localhost:44346"
      },
      "MyApplication_Swagger": {
        "ClientId": "MyApplication_Swagger",
        "RootUrl": "https://localhost:44391"
      }
    }
  }

    Replace MyApplication with your application name.

Test Project

  • In MyApplicationTestBaseModule.cs remove the IdentityServer related using and PreConfigurations:

    using Volo.Abp.IdentityServer;

    and

    PreConfigure<AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.AddDeveloperSigningCredential = false;
        });

        PreConfigure<IIdentityServerBuilder>(identityServerBuilder =>
        {
            identityServerBuilder.AddDeveloperSigningCredential(false, System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
        });

    from PreConfigureServices.
