Identity Server Module

This module provides integration and management functionality for Identity Server;

• Built on the IdentityServer4 library.
• Manage Clients, Identity resources and API resources in the system.
• Set permissions for clients.
• Create standard identity resources (like role, profile) easily.
• Create custom identity resources.
• Manage API resources

See the module description page for an overview of the module features.

How to Install

Identity Server is pre-installed in the startup templates. So, no need to manually install it.

User Interface

Menu Items

Identity Server module adds the following items to the "Main" menu, under the "Administration" menu item:

• Clients: Client management page.
• Identity resources: Identity resource management page.
• API resources: API resource management page.

AbpIdentityServerMenuNames class has the constants for the menu item names.

Pages

Client Management

Clients page is used to manage Identity Server clients. A client represent applications that can request tokens from your Identity Server.

You can create new clients or edit existing clients in this page:

Identity Resource Management

Identity resource page is used to manage identity resources of Identity Server. Identity resources are data like user ID, name, or email address of a user.

You can create a new identity resource or edit an existing identity resource in this page:

This page allows creating standard identity resources (role, profile, phone, openid, email and address) using "Create standard resources" button.

API Resource Management

Identity Server module allows to manage API resources. To allow clients to request access tokens for APIs, you need to define API resources.

You can create a new API resource or edit an existing API resource in this page:

Data Seed

This module adds some initial data (see the data seed system) to the database when you run the .DbMigrator application:

• Creates standard identity resources which are role, profile, phone, openid, email and address.

You can delete or edit created standard identity resources in the identity resource management page. You can also re-create standard identity resources in the identity resource management page using "Create standard resources" button.

Options

AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions

AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions can be configured in PreConfigureServices method of your Identity Server module. Example:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
	PreConfigure<AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions>(builder =>
	{
    	//Set options here...		
	});
}

AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions properties:

• UpdateJwtSecurityTokenHandlerDefaultInboundClaimTypeMap (default: true): Updates JwtSecurityTokenHandler.DefaultInboundClaimTypeMap to be compatible with Identity Server claims.
• UpdateAbpClaimTypes (default: true): Updates AbpClaimTypes to be compatible with identity server claims.
• IntegrateToAspNetIdentity (default: true): Integrate to ASP.NET Identity.
• AddDeveloperSigningCredential (default: true): Set false to suppress AddDeveloperSigningCredential() call on the IIdentityServerBuilder.

IIdentityServerBuilder can be configured in PreConfigureServices method of your Identity Server module. Example:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
	PreConfigure<IIdentityServerBuilder>(builder =>
	{
    	builder.AddSigningCredential(...);	
	});
}

Repositories

This module follows the Repository Best Practices & Conventions guide.

Following custom repositories are defined for this module:

• IApiResourceRepository
• IClientRepository
• IPersistentGrantRepository
• IIdentityResourceRepository

Domain Services

This module follows the Domain Services Best Practices & Conventions guide.

Identity Server module doesn't contain any domain service but overrides services below;

• AbpProfileService (Used when AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions.IntegrateToAspNetIdentity is true)
• AbpClaimsService

This module doesn't define any settings.

Application Layer

Application Services

• ApiResourceAppService (implements IApiResourceAppService): Implements the use cases of the API resource management UI.
• IdentityServerClaimTypeAppService (implement IIdentityServerClaimTypeAppService): Used to get list of claims.

Database Providers

Common

Table/Collection Prefix & Schema

All tables/collections use the IdentityServer prefix by default. Set static properties on the AbpIdentityServerDbProperties class if you need to change the table prefix or set a schema name (if supported by your database provider).

Connection String

This module uses AbpIdentityServer for the connection string name. If you don't define a connection string with this name, it fallbacks to the Default connection string.

See the connection strings documentation for details.

Angular UI

Installation

In order to configure the application to use the IdentityServerModule, you first need to import IdentityServerConfigModule from @volo/abp.ng.identity-server/config to root module. IdentityServerConfigModule has a static forRoot method which you should call for a proper configuration.

// app.module.ts
import { IdentityServerConfigModule } from '@volo/abp.ng.identity-server/config';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // other imports
    IdentityServerConfigModule.forRoot(),
    // other imports
  ],
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}

The IdentityServerModule should be imported and lazy-loaded in your routing module. It has a static forLazy method for configuration. Available options are listed below. It is available for import from @volo/abp.ng.identity-server.

// app-routing.module.ts
const routes: Routes = [
  // other route definitions
  {
    path: 'identity-server',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('@volo/abp.ng.identity-server').then(m => m.IdentityServerModule.forLazy(/* options here */)),
  },
];

@NgModule(/* AppRoutingModule metadata */)
export class AppRoutingModule {}

If you have generated your project via the startup template, you do not have to do anything, because it already has both IdentityServerConfigModule and IdentityServerModule.

Options

You can modify the look and behavior of the module pages by passing the following options to IdentityServerModule.forLazy static method:

• entityActionContributors: Changes grid actions. Please check Entity Action Extensions for Angular for details.
• toolbarActionContributors: Changes page toolbar. Please check Page Toolbar Extensions for Angular for details.
• entityPropContributors: Changes table columns. Please check Data Table Column Extensions for Angular for details.
• createFormPropContributors: Changes create form fields. Please check Dynamic Form Extensions for Angular for details.
• editFormPropContributors: Changes create form fields. Please check Dynamic Form Extensions for Angular for details.

Services

The @volo/abp.ng.identity-server package exports the following services which cover HTTP requests to counterpart APIs:

• IdentityServerService: Covers several methods that performing HTTP calls for Clients, Identity Resources, and Api Resources pages.

IdentityServerModule Replaceable Components

eIdentityServerComponents enum provides all replaceable component keys. It is available for import from @volo/abp.ng.identity-server.

Please check Component Replacement document for details.

Remote Endpoint URL

The Identity Server module remote endpoint URL can be configured in the environment files.

export const environment = {
  // other configurations
  apis: {
    default: {
      url: 'default url here',
    },
    AbpIdentityServer: {
      url: 'Identity Server remote url here'
    }
    // other api configurations
  },
};

The Identity Server module remote URL configuration shown above is optional. If you don't set a URL, the default.url will be used as fallback.

Distributed Events

This module defines events for Client aggregate and ClientCorsOrigin entity. When a Client or ClientCorsOrigin changes, AllowedCorsOriginsCacheItemInvalidator invalidates the cache for AllowedCorsOriginsCacheItem. See the standard distributed events for more information about distributed events.
