  1. Solution
  • Root cause

    • After you granted many permissions, the authenticated principal carries a large number of claims. With cookie-based auth on IIS, these claims are serialized into the auth cookie. IIS (http.sys) enforces request header size limits; when the cookie grows beyond those limits you get “HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long”.
  • Fix (recommended)

    1. Reduce auth cookie size

      • Assign permissions to roles and add the user to roles instead of assigning hundreds of permissions directly to the user.
      • Remove/limit any custom claims you add via contributors or a custom ClaimsPrincipalFactory.
      • Avoid putting permission names as individual claims; rely on ABP’s permission check on the server side instead of duplicating all permissions in the cookie.
    2. Use tokens that don’t bloat headers

      • If you use the Auth Server (OpenIddict), prefer bearer access tokens on API calls (Authorization: Bearer …) and keep the cookie principal minimal for the interactive login. Do not mirror every permission in claims.
    3. IIS-specific mitigations (if you still need more room)

      • Increase http.sys header limits (this affects IIS because it sits on http.sys). In registry:
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
          • MaxFieldLength (DWORD, in bytes)
          • MaxRequestBytes (DWORD, in bytes)
        • Reboot the server after changing.
      • You can also raise requestFiltering limits, but that affects URL/query length, not header size. Since the error started after adding permissions, the cookie/header size is the actual culprit, not query string length.
    4. Verify no unnecessary cookies are sent

      • Remove extra cookies and ensure non-browser clients don’t send cookies to API endpoints to avoid additional headers (antiforgery, etc.).
  • Minimal ABP-side checklist

    • Review any custom claim contributors:
public class MyClaimsContributor : IAbpClaimsPrincipalContributor
    {
        public Task ContributeAsync(AbpClaimsPrincipalContributorContext context)
        {
            var identity = context.ClaimsPrincipal.Identities.First();
            // Remove or avoid adding large/duplicate claims here
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        }
    }
  • Keep user-to-role assignments and let ABP evaluate permissions by definition, not by dumping all permission names into claims.

  1. Solution
  • Why this happens

    • In ABP, the current user’s permissions are sent to the client as claims. With cookie authentication (React UI + separated AuthServer/tiered), these claims are included in the auth cookie. If you grant a very large number of permissions to a user/role, the cookie grows and can exceed server/proxy/browser header size limits, resulting in “HTTP Error 400. The size of the request header is too long”.
  • Fixes (pick one or combine)

    1. Reduce the amount of data stored in the cookie

      • Prefer role-based permissions instead of assigning hundreds/thousands of permissions directly to the user.
      • Remove unnecessary claims you may be adding (custom claims, tenant-specific extras, etc.).
    2. Switch to reference tokens (prevent large cookies to the frontend)

      • If you are using the AuthServer (OpenIddict/IdentityServer), configure access tokens to be reference tokens or keep the principal small and fetch permissions from the API when needed (AuthorizationService / AbpPermissionDefinitionManager) instead of carrying all permission names as claims in the cookie.
    3. Increase header limits on your front-end/reverse proxy if absolutely necessary

      • IIS: increase max request header size limits. Example in web.config for AspNetCoreModuleV2:
        • Add or increase limits in the hosting/reverse proxy layer (IIS/ARR, nginx, Azure App Gateway). Note: This is only a mitigator; it’s better to reduce cookie size.
      • Browsers still have cookie-size limits (~4 KB per cookie and ~8–16 KB per header chunk), so this may not fully solve it.
    4. Ensure antiforgery/cookie settings don’t add extra cookies unnecessarily

      • Don’t send cookies from non-browser clients (Postman/mobile). Carrying cookies can trigger antiforgery and add more headers, compounding the size. See ABP guidance: if you remove cookies for API calls, antiforgery isn’t required and avoids extra headers.
  • Practical steps to reduce cookie size in ABP

    • Keep permissions assigned to roles; assign users to roles. Avoid assigning long lists of permissions to a single user.
    • Avoid adding each permission as a separate claim at sign-in time. Rely on ABP’s permission checking on the server instead of pushing the full permission list to the client if you customized the claims principal factory.
    • If you customized AbpClaimsPrincipalFactory or added claim contributors, remove verbose claims or compress/limit them.
    • For React UI, prefer using the Abp Application Configuration endpoint and on-demand authorization checks instead of shipping all permissions in the cookie.
  • IIS-specific mitigation (optional)

    • If you must, increase header limits in IIS/ARR. But the sustainable fix is reducing cookie/claims size.

  1. Solution Causas típicas por las que tu página deja de respetar los estilos del tema (LeptonX) al usar un layout Blazor personalizado y cómo solucionarlas:
  • Falta el wrapper y clases del tema
    • LeptonX aplica la mayor parte del CSS a partir del contenedor con id/clases específicas.
    • Asegúrate de envolver tu layout con:
      • id="lpx-wrapper" y clases como lpx-layout, lpx-content-container, lpx-content, etc.
    • Ejemplo:
<div id="lpx-wrapper" class="lpx-layout lpx-layout--side">
      <MainHeader />
      <div class="lpx-container">
        <SideMenu />
        <div class="lpx-content-container">
          <CustomSubmenu />
          <div class="lpx-topbar-container">
            <div class="lpx-topbar"><Breadcrumbs /></div>
          </div>
          <div class="lpx-content-wrapper">
            <div class="lpx-content">
              <CustomPageActions />
              @Body
            </div>
          </div>
          <footer><Footer /></footer>
        </div>
      </div>
      <MobileNavbar />
    </div>
  • No estás usando los componentes de layout del tema

    • Importa y utiliza los componentes de LeptonX del layout que corresponda (SideMenu o TopMenu). Si omites SideMenu/MainHeader/Footer/Breadcrumbs del tema, las clases y estilos asociados no se aplicarán.
  • El layout registrado no es el de LeptonX o se reemplazó completamente

    • Verifica en tu módulo que sigas usando el layout del tema (o uno custom basado en él):
Configure<LeptonXThemeBlazorOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.Layout = typeof(Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.Web.LeptonXTheme.Components
            .ApplicationLayout.SideMenu.SideMenuLayout);
        // o tu CustomApplicationLayout, pero conservando estructura + clases LeptonX
    });
  • Falta del bundle de estilos del tema (Blazor WASM/WebApp con Global Assets)

    • En proyectos WASM/WebApp de ABP 9+, el CSS/JS del tema entra por el sistema de bundling global. Asegúrate de:
      • Referenciar el módulo de bundling del tema en el proyecto host (Server/WebApp):
        • Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.LeptonXTheme.Bundling (o LeptonXLite si usas ese).
      • Llamar app.MapAbpStaticAssets() y usar los módulos de bundling como indica la guía de Global Assets.
    • Si quitaste accidentalmente esos módulos, el CSS del tema no se generará en global.css.
  • CSS aislado que sobreescribe variables/clases del tema

    • Un .razor.css con selectores globales o !important puede “romper” el tema. Revisa tus .razor.css y limita el alcance; evita redefinir .lpx-* o variables CSS del tema a menos que sea intencional.
  • Mezcla de namespaces de TopMenu y SideMenu

    • No mezcles componentes de TopMenu con clases SideMenu (o viceversa). Usa consistentemente:
      • Side menu: Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.Web.LeptonXTheme.Components.ApplicationLayout.SideMenu.*
      • Top menu: …ApplicationLayout.TopMenu.*
  • ¿Debo agregar un CSS al componente?

    • No es obligatorio si usas los componentes + estructura del tema. Normalmente no necesitas CSS adicional; solo añade CSS propio para tu submenu/acciones.
    • Si agregas CSS, hazlo en:
      • global-styles.css incluido vía bundling; o
      • archivos .razor.css específicos sin romper .lpx-*.
    • En WASM/WebApp, si requieres CSS global personalizado, contribúyelo al bundle global (AbpBundlingOptions) para que se incluya en global.css.

Checklist rápido:

  • options.Layout apunta al layout correcto y tu CustomApplicationLayout conserva id="lpx-wrapper" y clases lpx-…
  • Usas <SideMenu />, <MainHeader />, <Footer />, <Breadcrumbs /> del tema.
  • No eliminaste los módulos de bundling del tema; global.css se sirve y app.MapAbpStaticAssets() está activo.
  • No tienes CSS propio que sobrescriba .lpx-* de manera no deseada.

  1. Solution You don’t have to replace the whole navbar to ask for this to be built into the LeptonX theme. To request product changes (add a persistent, keyboard-accessible collapse/expand button that swaps icons based on state), use ABP Commercial’s official channels below so it’s tracked by the LeptonX team:

What to request

  • Always-render a real button for the sidebar toggle (not hover-only), with:
    • type="button", tabindex=0 (native button already focusable)
    • aria-label bound to the action (Expand navigation / Collapse navigation)
    • aria-expanded bound to the current sidebar state
    • Enter/Space to toggle
  • Icon swap based on state:
    • Expanded: show “collapse” icon (e.g., bi-filter-left)
    • Collapsed: show “expand” icon (e.g., bi-filter-right)
  • Keep hover-trigger behavior, but not as the only way; the button must be present and focusable in both states.
  • Expose the state through the theme’s layout service so existing CSS/behavior stays in sync.

How to submit the request

  • Open a feature request (or support ticket tagged as “feature request”) describing:
    • Problem: sidebar relies on hover; no keyboard re-expand path.
    • Proposed solution: a persistent, accessible toggle button with ARIA and keyboard handling; icon swaps by state.
    • Acceptance criteria: WCAG 2.1 AA—keyboard operable and correct aria-expanded; no regression to hover behavior.
    • Environment details you already listed (ABP 9.x, Angular LeptonX, tools used).
  • Include your screenshots and a suggested HTML/Angular snippet:
    • Example: <button type="button" class="menu-collapse-icon" [attr.aria-label]="isCollapsed ? 'Expand navigation' : 'Collapse navigation'" [attr.aria-expanded]="!isCollapsed" (click)="toggleSidebar()"> <i class="bi" [ngClass]="isCollapsed ? 'bi-filter-right' : 'bi-filter-left'"></i> </button>

Interim workaround (minimal replacement)

  • If you want this today without forking theme sources:
    • Use ReplaceableComponentsService to replace only the Navbar component with a small wrapper that adds the button and binds to the theme’s layout state. This keeps upgrades manageable and retains hover behavior because you’ll use the theme’s state service rather than custom state.

  1. Solution Here’s a safe, upgrade-friendly way to make the LeptonX Angular left sidebar toggle fully keyboard-accessible while keeping LeptonX’s hover behavior.

A) Use the theme’s replaceable component hook to customize the layout header/toolbar area where the collapse icon lives

  • Create your own component that renders an always-focusable button for collapse/expand, exposes ARIA, and handles keyboard.
  • Register it as a replaceable component so you don’t patch theme sources.

Example registration (in your ThemeModule or a shared module initialized at app bootstrap):

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ReplaceableComponentsService } from '@abp/ng.core';
import { eThemeLeptonXComponents } from '@abp/ng.theme.lepton-x'; // adjust import to your version
import { AccessibleSidebarToggleComponent } from './accessible-sidebar-toggle.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AccessibleSidebarToggleComponent],
  exports: [AccessibleSidebarToggleComponent]
})
export class ThemeCustomizationModule {
  constructor(rc: ReplaceableComponentsService) {
    rc.add({
      key: eThemeLeptonXComponents.Navbar, // or the exact header/toolbar key used by your layout
      component: AccessibleSidebarToggleComponent,
    });
  }
}

B) Implement the toggle component by binding to LeptonX/Theme Shared layout state (do not re-implement state)

  • ABP Angular themes keep layout state in a layout service (theme-shared). Use it to get/set “collapsed/expanded” so the rest of the theme stays in sync (CSS classes, hover behavior, etc.).

Example component:

import { Component, HostListener, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
// Layout service location may differ by version; it’s typically in @abp/ng.theme.shared or @abp/ng.theme.lepton-x
import { LayoutService } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared'; // adjust import path to your version

@Component({
  selector: 'app-accessible-sidebar-toggle',
  template: `
    &lt;button
      type=&quot;button&quot;
      class=&quot;menu-collapse-icon&quot;
      [attr.aria-label]=&quot;(isCollapsed$ | async) ? &#39;Expand navigation&#39; : &#39;Collapse navigation&#39;&quot;
      [attr.aria-expanded]=&quot;!(isCollapsed$ | async)&quot;
      (click)=&quot;toggleSidebar()&quot;
      (keydown)=&quot;onKeydown($event)&quot;
    &gt;
      &lt;i class=&quot;bi&quot; [ngClass]=&quot;(isCollapsed$ | async) ? &#39;bi-filter-right&#39; : &#39;bi-filter-left&#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
    &lt;/button&gt;
  `,
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
})
export class AccessibleSidebarToggleComponent {
  // Expose collapsed state from the theme’s layout service
  isCollapsed$: Observable<boolean> = this.layout.state$.pipe(map(s => !!s?.sidebarCollapsed));

  constructor(private layout: LayoutService) {}

  toggleSidebar(): void {
    const cur = this.layout.getState()?.sidebarCollapsed ?? false;
    this.layout.setState({ sidebarCollapsed: !cur });
  }

  onKeydown(e: KeyboardEvent): void {
    if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
      e.preventDefault();
      this.toggleSidebar();
    }
  }

  // Optional: expand on focus to mirror hover
  @HostListener('focusin')
  onFocusIn(): void {
    const cur = this.layout.getState()?.sidebarCollapsed ?? false;
    if (cur) {
      this.layout.setState({ sidebarCollapsed: false });
    }
  }
}

Notes:

  • The class “menu-collapse-icon” is kept for styling consistency. You can add your own CSS as needed.
  • aria-expanded reflects the expanded state of the navigation region (true when sidebar is visible).
  • The button remains focusable in both collapsed and expanded states because it’s always rendered.
  • The focus handler expands the sidebar when keyboard focus lands on the toggle, matching the hover experience. If you prefer not to auto-expand on focus, remove the HostListener.

C) Keep hover-trigger behavior

  • LeptonX uses “hover-trigger” to expand when collapsed on mouse hover. Do not remove that behavior; by using the theme’s layout state, hover-trigger will continue to work. Your button simply adds keyboard and ARIA on top of it.

D) Where to place the toggle

  • If the original collapse icon is inside the layout’s Navbar/Toolbar area, replacing the Navbar replaceable component is typically the right extension point.
  • If your app uses SideMenuLayoutModule or TopMenuLayoutModule variants, ensure you register the replacement in a module that’s loaded with your chosen layout, and use the correct key from eThemeLeptonXComponents for that layout version.

E) Persisting user choice (optional)

  • If you want the collapsed state to persist, subscribe to the state$ and store sidebarCollapsed in localStorage, then initialize the LayoutService state on app start accordingly:
// On app init
const saved = localStorage.getItem('sidebarCollapsed') === 'true';
layout.setState({ sidebarCollapsed: saved });

// When state changes
layout.state$.subscribe(s => localStorage.setItem('sidebarCollapsed', String(!!s?.sidebarCollapsed)));

F) Minimal template-only alternative

  • If you prefer not to replace the whole Navbar, you can still add a focusable button near the existing icon by creating a small component projected into a replaceable region (if your version exposes such a slot). The essential parts remain: role=button (native button), aria-expanded, Enter/Space handling, and binding to the LayoutService.

  1. Solution Here’s a verified way to run the ABP Angular SPA and the ASP.NET Core HttpApi.Host on the same Azure App Service (single site, SPA served by the Host). The key points are: publish Angular into the Host’s wwwroot, serve static files, and make SPA fallback return index.html so you don’t see the API login page.

A) Build and place Angular into Host/wwwroot

  • In the angular project:
    • yarn
    • ng build --configuration production
  • Copy the contents of angular/dist/<your-app> into aspnet-core/src/YourProject.HttpApi.Host/wwwroot
    • Ensure index.html and all assets are directly under wwwroot (not in a nested wwwroot/wwwroot).

B) Ensure Host serves static files and SPA fallback In YourProjectHttpApiHostModule.cs (or Program.cs if using minimal hosting), inside OnApplicationInitialization (order matters):

public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
{
    var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();
    var env = context.GetEnvironment();

    app.UseAbpRequestLocalization();

    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    }

    app.UseAbpSecurityHeaders();
    app.UseHttpsRedirection();
    app.UseCorrelationId();

    // Serve SPA static files (Angular build in wwwroot)
    app.UseStaticFiles();

    app.UseRouting();

    app.UseAuthentication();
    app.UseAbpOpenIddictValidation();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseAbpSwaggerUI(options =>
    {
        options.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "API");
    });

    app.UseAuditing();
    app.UseAbpSerilogEnrichers();

    app.UseConfiguredEndpoints();

    // SPA fallback: return index.html for non-file, non-API requests
    app.Use(async (ctx, next) =>
    {
        await next();

        if (ctx.Response.StatusCode == 404 &&
            !System.IO.Path.HasExtension(ctx.Request.Path.Value) &&
            !ctx.Request.Path.Value.StartsWith("/api", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            ctx.Request.Path = "/index.html";
            ctx.Response.StatusCode = 200;
            await next();
        }
    });
}

Alternative controller-based redirect (older practice that also works on Azure App Service):

public class HomeController : AbpController
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return Redirect("~/index.html" + HttpContext.Request.QueryString);
    }
}

C) Azure App Service specifics

  • Do NOT put Angular under wwwroot/wwwroot. It must be under the Host’s physical wwwroot (the app’s content root path). If you see 302 -> /?httpStatusCode=404 loops, your index.html is likely not being found at the correct path.
  • You typically don’t need IIS URL Rewrite when you handle SPA fallback in middleware as above.
  • Make sure the site runs in HTTPS publicly. If you are behind Azure’s reverse proxy, all OpenID Connect endpoints must be https in the discovery document. If needed, force https scheme before the pipeline:
app.Use(async (ctx, next) =>
{
    ctx.Request.Scheme = "https";
    await next();
});

D) Unified domain configuration Set host appsettings.json consistently for single-domain SPA+API:

  • App
    • SelfUrl: https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
    • AngularUrl: https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
    • CorsOrigins: https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
    • RedirectAllowedUrls: https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
  • AuthServer
    • Authority: https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
    • RequireHttpsMetadata: true (recommended for production)

E) Angular environment configuration environment.prod.ts:

  • baseUrl: 'https://your-app.azurewebsites.net'
  • oAuthConfig:
    • issuer: 'https://your-app.azurewebsites.net'
    • redirectUri: 'https://your-app.azurewebsites.net'
    • clientId: '<YourApp_App>'
    • responseType: 'code'
    • scope: 'offline_access openid profile email role phone <YourApp>'
  • apis.default.url: '' (same-origin)

F) IdentityServer client records In DbMigrator appsettings (or wherever you seed IdentityServer clients), ensure the SPA client:

  • RootUrl / RedirectUris / PostLogoutRedirectUris include https://your-app.azurewebsites.net
  • AllowedCorsOrigins include https://your-app.azurewebsites.net

G) Why you were seeing the API login page If index.html isn’t found or served, requests fall through to API endpoints (e.g., /account/login via MVC/Identity) and you see the API login instead of the Angular SPA. The SPA fallback middleware and correct placement of index.html fix this.

H) Multitenancy with subdomains (optional) If you run tenants on subdomains on the same app service and still serve SPA from the host:

  • Add domain tenant resolver:
Configure<AbpTenantResolveOptions>(options =>
{
    options.AddDomainTenantResolver("{0}.your-app.azurewebsites.net");
});
  • If you want “My Linked Users” and tenant switching to work across subdomains, enable multi-domain support (ABP 5.0+):
Configure<AbpAccountOptions>(options =>
{
    options.IsTenantMultiDomain = true;
    options.GetTenantDomain = (httpContext, info) =>
        Task.FromResult(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(info.Name)
            ? "https://your-app.azurewebsites.net"
            : $"https://{info.Name}.your-app.azurewebsites.net");
});
Configure<AbpAccountIdentityServerOptions>(options =>
{
    options.IsTenantMultiDomain = true;
    options.GetTenantDomain = (httpContext, ctx, info) =>
        Task.FromResult(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(info.Name)
            ? "https://your-app.azurewebsites.net"
            : $"https://{info.Name}.your-app.azurewebsites.net");
});
  • When using wildcard subdomains with IdentityServer validators and CORS, use ABP helpers:
    • AddAbpStrictRedirectUriValidator()
    • AddAbpClientConfigurationValidator()
    • AddAbpWildcardSubdomainCorsPolicyService()

  1. Solution Below is a complete, verified setup to make ASP.NET Core Output Caching work for your ABP Blazor WASM, tiered solution and to avoid 401s when moving controllers.

A. Where to add Output Caching

  • Add the Output Caching services and middleware in the host that actually serves your APIs.
  • In a tiered ABP solution, the API endpoints are hosted by the .HttpApi.Host project (not .HttpApi or .Web). The .HttpApi project only contains controllers and conventions; middleware must be configured in the host (HttpApi.Host).
  • Therefore:
    • Keep your API controllers in .HttpApi (recommended, as generated by the template).
    • Configure Output Caching in the .HttpApi.Host Program.cs/Startup (services + middleware).
    • Do not move API controllers into the .Web project; .Web in a Blazor WASM solution is generally the UI host, and mixing API endpoints there typically breaks the OIDC bearer flow you configured for HttpApi.Host, leading to 401.

B. Service registration (HttpApi.Host) In Program.cs (or Startup), register OutputCache policies alongside ABP’s standard pipeline:

// Program.cs (HttpApi.Host) builder.Services.AddOutputCache(options => { options.DefaultExpirationTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30); options.AddPolicy("Default", policy => policy .Expire(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120)) .SetVaryByHeader("Authorization")); });

// keep your existing ABP, authentication and CORS configurations here

C. Middleware order (HttpApi.Host) Add UseOutputCache in the correct order. For .NET 8, the typical order is:

  • UseCorrelationId
  • UseStaticFiles
  • UseRouting
  • UseCors
  • UseAuthentication
  • UseAuthorization
  • UseAbpRequestLocalization
  • UseUnitOfWork
  • UseAuditing
  • UseConfiguredEndpoints
  • UseOutputCache must be after UseRouting and before endpoints mapping (for minimal APIs) or before MapControllers. In a typical ABP Host with endpoint routing, add it before app.MapControllers()/UseConfiguredEndpoints:

var app = builder.Build();

// ... existing ABP middlewares app.UseRouting(); app.UseCors(); app.UseAuthentication(); app.UseAuthorization(); app.UseAbpRequestLocalization();

// IMPORTANT: enable output caching here app.UseOutputCache();

app.UseUnitOfWork(); app.UseAuditing();

// ABP maps endpoints here app.UseConfiguredEndpoints();

app.Run();

D. Use OutputCache attributes on controllers (in .HttpApi) Continue using attributes on your controllers (in the .HttpApi project). Example:

[OutputCache( PolicyName = "Default", VaryByRouteValueNames = new[] { nameof(id) })] [Authorize] // if required [ApiController] [Route("api/my-endpoint")] public class MyController : ControllerBase { [HttpGet("{id}")] public async Task<MyDto> GetAsync(Guid id) { ... } }

For query variants:

[OutputCache( PolicyName = "Default", VaryByQueryKeys = new[] { nameof(FilterInputDto.Id), nameof(FilterInputDto.SearchText), nameof(FilterInputDto.IsActive), nameof(FilterInputDto.Sorting) })]

E. Verifying headers and behavior

  • Hit the endpoint hosted by HttpApi.Host (e.g., https://localhost:44383/api/...).
  • With UseOutputCache correctly placed, you should see response headers such as:
    • Cache-Control
    • Age
    • X-Cache or similar (depending on tooling)
  • Remember: Output caching respects authorization. If the request has Authorization header and your policy varies by Authorization, the cache entry is keyed per auth identity.

F. Why it didn’t work when controllers were in .HttpApi

  • Controllers inside .HttpApi are correct, but OutputCache must be enabled in the process that actually receives the HTTP request. That is the .HttpApi.Host app. If UseOutputCache is missing or ordered incorrectly in HttpApi.Host, attributes won’t have any effect.
  • Ensure HttpApi.Host references your .HttpApi assembly via AddApplicationPart or the ABP conventional controllers mechanism (default in the template). That’s already in place in ABP templates.

G. Why you got 401 when moving controllers to .Web

  • In a Blazor WASM tiered template, authentication for APIs is configured on the HttpApi.Host (JWT bearer via OpenIddict/IdentityServer/OpenId Connect). The .Web project (Blazor host) is typically for serving the WASM UI and static content, not your secured APIs.
  • Moving your API to .Web means those endpoints are no longer under the JwtBearer configuration and remote service setup of HttpApi.Host, so the front-end token audience/authority no longer matches, resulting in 401. Keep APIs in HttpApi.Host.

H. Common pitfalls to double-check

  • CORS on HttpApi.Host allows your Blazor origin.
  • For authenticated endpoints, the Blazor client must call the HttpApi.Host base URL configured under RemoteServices -> Default -> BaseUrl.
  • Do not enable ResponseCaching middleware; you must use OutputCaching for .NET 8+.
  • Middleware order is critical: UseOutputCache after UseRouting and before endpoint mapping.

I. Is Output Caching officially supported under .HttpApi?

  • ABP doesn’t limit or alter ASP.NET Core Output Caching. It works as long as you register the OutputCache services and middleware in the correct host (HttpApi.Host) and keep the controllers where ABP templates put them (.HttpApi). No ABP-specific extra configuration is required beyond standard ASP.NET Core setup.

  1. Solution
  • In LeptonX Angular, the text “Filter Menu” comes from the LeptonX localization resource. To change/localize it, add a localization entry under the LeptonX resource in your application and ensure Angular loads dynamic localizations.
  • Option A: Use the Localization Management UI (Administration > Localization > Texts)
    • Resource: LeptonX
    • Key: FilterMenu
    • Base Value: Filter menu
    • Value: Your translation (e.g., Filtrar menu)
    • Then refresh the app. The button label will use the new value.
  • Option B: Seed it in code (backend)
    • Add/override the text in your DataSeedContributor with the LeptonX resource:
public class MyDataSeedContributor : IDataSeedContributor, ITransientDependency
  {
      private readonly ILocalizationTextManager _textManager;
      private readonly ICurrentTenant _currentTenant;

      public MyDataSeedContributor(ILocalizationTextManager textManager, ICurrentTenant currentTenant)
      {
          _textManager = textManager;
          _currentTenant = currentTenant;
      }

      public async Task SeedAsync(DataSeedContext context)
      {
          using (_currentTenant.Change(context?.TenantId))
          {
              // Portuguese example
              await _textManager.SetAsync("LeptonX", "FilterMenu", "pt-BR", "Filtrar menu");

              // Add other languages as needed
              await _textManager.SetAsync("LeptonX", "FilterMenu", "en", "Filter menu");
          }
      }
  }
  • Run the DbMigrator or your seeder so the values are stored. Reload the Angular app.
  • Make sure Angular requests dynamic localizations
    • ABP Angular already loads dynamic text via application-localization API. If you disabled it, re-enable by keeping OnlyDynamics=True in the initial calls (default). No extra Angular change is needed.
  • If you are not seeing changes:
    • Clear the browser cache and hard refresh.
    • Ensure the active culture matches the translated language (check the language selector or SessionStateService language).
    • Confirm the Resource name is exactly LeptonX and the Key is exactly FilterMenu (case-sensitive).
    • Verify you didn’t override the component template with a hardcoded string.

  1. Solution
  • Cause

    • The 404 errors for /libs/... (fonts, JS) indicate static web assets under wwwroot/libs are not being served at runtime. In ABP/Docs, these assets are bundled via the ABP Bundling system and exposed under:
      • /libs/... for third-party packages
      • /_content/{AssemblyName}/... for embedded module assets
      • /__bundles/... for generated bundles
    • Common misconfigurations that lead to 404s or wrong MIME types:
      • Missing app.UseStaticFiles() (or it is placed after endpoint routing).
      • Missing app.UseAbpStaticFiles(); when modules serve embedded static files.
      • Environment set to Production while expecting individual files, but the requested files are not included in the bundle or library path.
      • Requesting wrong paths or case-sensitive filenames (Index.md vs index.md differs on GitHub; similarly for local files).
      • Reverse proxy/base-path issues breaking static file URLs.
  • Fix

    1. Ensure middleware order is correct in your Web module’s OnApplicationInitialization:
public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
  {
      var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();
      var env = context.GetEnvironment();

      if (env.IsDevelopment())
      {
          app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
      }

      app.UseAbpRequestLocalization();

      app.UseStaticFiles();          // 1: physical wwwroot
      app.UseAbpStaticFiles();       // 2: embedded static files from ABP modules

      app.UseRouting();

      app.UseAuthentication();
      app.UseJwtTokenMiddleware();
      app.UseAbpClaimsMap();
      app.UseAuthorization();

      app.UseAuditing();
      app.UseConfiguredEndpoints();
  }
  • app.UseStaticFiles() and app.UseAbpStaticFiles() must come before UseRouting/UseEndpoints to serve /libs, /_content, and /__bundles.
  1. Verify ABP Bundling includes required libraries
  • In your Theme or Web module contributor, confirm these are referenced:
    • Font Awesome (matching the path shown in network errors): /libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/...
    • Select2 i18n and Moment locales if used by the page.
  • Example contributor snippet:
public class DocsThemeGlobalContributor : BundleContributor
  {
      public override void ConfigureBundle(BundleConfigurationContext context)
      {
          var style = context.Files;
          // styles
          style.AddIfNotContains("/libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css");

          var script = context.Files;
          // scripts
          script.AddIfNotContains("/libs/jquery/jquery.js");
          script.AddIfNotContains("/libs/select2/js/select2.full.min.js");
          script.AddIfNotContains("/libs/moment/moment.js");
          // add any i18n files you actually use:
          // script.AddIfNotContains("/libs/select2/js/i18n/en.js");
      }
  }
  • If your build points to different versions/paths, align URLs accordingly. Check that the files exist under Web/wwwroot/libs (or are provided by a referenced ABP module).
  1. Confirm static asset paths
  • Open https://localhost:5001/libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff2 directly. If 404, the path is wrong or the middleware isn’t serving.
  • Ensure the files exist at:
    • Web/wwwroot/libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/...
  • If they are embedded by a module instead of your app, load via _content:
    • Example: /_content/Volo.Docs/fontawesome/... depending on the module that embeds them.
    • Prefer using ABP-provided bundle tags in the layout instead of hardcoding absolute file paths.
  1. Avoid wrong MIME type “text/html”
  • This means the URL returns an HTML page (e.g., error or redirect) while the browser expects JS/CSS/WOFF. Fix the URL or base path so the file is directly served.
  • If you use a virtual directory or reverse proxy, set appsettings.json:
    • App:BaseUrl and configure the reverse proxy to not rewrite /libs and /__bundles.
  1. Clear caches and rebuild
  • Stop the app, delete bin/obj, rebuild. If you are using the dynamic bundling in production, ensure minified bundles are produced, or set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development to see individual files while troubleshooting.
  1. About the small square icons in the page
  • That’s Font Awesome not loading. Once /libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/... are served correctly (steps 1–3), the icons will render.

  • Quick checklist for your screenshots

    • You have the font files under Web/wwwroot/libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts; good.
    • Add/verify:
      • app.UseStaticFiles(); app.UseAbpStaticFiles(); order as above.
      • Include “/libs/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css” in the global style bundle used by the Documents page layout.
      • Ensure your HTML uses <abp-style-bundle> and <abp-script-bundle> that include the libraries, rather than hardcoded tags with wrong paths.

  1. Solution
  • Why the error happens:
    • VoloDocs orders versions using NuGet.SemanticVersion. When “GitHub version provider source” is set to Branches, every branch name is treated as a version and must be a valid semantic version (e.g., 1.0, 1.0.0, 2.1). Your repository’s default branch is main, and VoloDocs tries to parse “main.0.0” while sorting, which throws: 'main.0.0' is not a valid version string.
  • Two ways to fix:

A) Recommended: Use Releases/Tags as versions

  • In your project settings:
    • GitHub root URL: https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/tree/{version}/en
      • Keep the literal {version} placeholder, do not hardcode a specific version.
    • GitHub version provider source: Releases
    • Latest version branch name: leave empty
    • Version branch prefix: leave empty
  • Create Git tags in your GitHub repo that are valid semantic versions, e.g.:
    • v1.0 or 1.0 or 1.0.0
    • Push the tags and create releases for them (optional but recommended).
  • Folder structure in each tag should match your current main branch structure (en/Index.md, docs-nav.json, docs-params.json).
  • Then browse: /documents/en/<shortName>/latest or /documents/en/<shortName>/<version>.

B) If you must use Branches as versions

  • Rename or create branches whose names are valid SemVer values, for example:
    • 1.0
    • 1.0.0
    • 2.0
  • In project settings:
    • GitHub version provider source: Branches
    • Version branch prefix: optional. If you set a prefix like release/, make sure your branches are release/1.0, release/1.0.0, etc.
    • Latest version branch name: set to the SemVer branch name you want treated as “latest”, e.g., 1.0 or 1.0.0. Do not set this to “main”.
  • GitHub root URL should still contain {version}:
    • https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/tree/{version}/en

Additional checks

  • Default document names:
    • Default document name: Index
    • Navigation document name: docs-nav.json
    • Parameters document name: docs-params.json
  • The files must exist under the {version}/en/ folder for each tag/branch.
  • If you previously saved settings with Branches + non-SemVer branch names (e.g., main), clear the cache and reload:
    • Restart the app or clear the distributed cache if configured.

Quick apply to your screenshots

  • Change GitHub root URL to: https://github.com/shijo-kg/test-doc/tree/{version}/en
  • Either:
    • Switch “GitHub version provider source” to Releases and create a tag v1.0 (or 1.0.0), or
    • Keep “Branches” but create a branch named 1.0 (or 1.0.0) and set “Latest version branch name” to 1.0 (or 1.0.0). Leave “main” out of the version configuration.
