To run your ABP application as a Docker container inside Azure App Service, you need to ensure that your container listens on port 80 (the only port Azure App Service routes traffic to by default). By default, ABP's Docker templates are configured to use port 80 for HTTP, but .NET 8+ changes the default to 8080, and HTTPS-only configurations can cause issues if not handled properly.

Here’s how you can resolve your issue:

1. Ensure the Container Listens on Port 80
   • In your Dockerfile or container startup, set the environment variable so ASP.NET Core listens on port 80:

ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80

• If you are using .NET 8 or later, explicitly set this, as the default is now 8080.

2. Disable HTTPS Redirection (if needed)
   • If your container is behind Azure’s SSL termination (App Service provides HTTPS at the front), you should disable HTTPS redirection inside your app. In appsettings.Production.json or via environment variable:

"Kestrel": {
       "Endpoints": {
         "Http": {
           "Url": "http://*:80"
         }
       }
     },
     "App": {
       "SelfUrl": "https://<your-app-service-url>"
     }

• Or, set the environment variable:

ASPNETCORE_FORWARDEDHEADERS_ENABLED=true

3. Configure OpenIddict/IdentityServer Authority
   • Set the Authority to your public HTTPS URL (the App Service URL), but allow the app to run on HTTP internally:

"AuthServer": {
       "Authority": "https://<your-app-service-url>",
       "RequireHttpsMetadata": "false"
     }

• This allows the discovery endpoint to work, even if the internal traffic is HTTP.

4. Certificates

   • If you need to use a custom certificate for OpenIddict, ensure it is available in the container and referenced correctly. For most App Service scenarios, SSL is terminated at the Azure front end, so you do not need to bind HTTPS inside the container.

5. App Service Configuration

   • In the Azure Portal, under your App Service > Configuration > Application settings, add:
     • ASPNETCORE_URLS = http://+:80
     • AbpLicenseCode (if needed)
   • Remove any HTTPS endpoint bindings from your Dockerfile or appsettings.

6. Testing

   • After deployment, access https://<your-app-service-url>/.well-known/openid-configuration and it should be reachable.

No major refactoring is required—just ensure your container listens on port 80 and does not enforce HTTPS redirection internally. If you need end-to-end HTTPS (including inside the container), you must handle certificate mounting and Kestrel configuration, but for most App Service scenarios, this is not necessary.

Kubernetes is not required unless you have more advanced orchestration needs.

• In order for the "Feature management" option to appear under the Settings menu in your ABP Blazor Server application, you must have the Feature Management module properly installed and configured in your solution.

• Even if you have features defined in code, the UI for Feature Management will not appear unless the required module packages are referenced and registered in your project.

Steps to ensure Feature Management is available:

1. Add Required NuGet Packages
   • Make sure the following NuGet packages are installed in your Blazor project:
     • Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.Blazor
     • Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.HttpApi.Client
     • Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.Application.Contracts
     • Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.Domain
     • Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.EntityFrameworkCore (or your DB provider)
   • Install them via NuGet Package Manager or CLI:

dotnet add package Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.Blazor
     dotnet add package Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement.HttpApi.Client

2. Add Module Dependencies
   • In your main Blazor module (e.g., YourProjectBlazorModule), add the module dependencies:

[DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpFeatureManagementBlazorModule),
         typeof(AbpFeatureManagementHttpApiClientModule)
     )]
     public class YourProjectBlazorModule : AbpModule
     {
         // ...
     }

3. Database Migration
   • If you use EF Core, ensure you have run the migrations for Feature Management:
     • Add builder.ConfigureFeatureManagement(); in your DbContext's OnModelCreating method.
     • Run:

dotnet ef migrations add Added_FeatureManagement
       dotnet ef database update

4. Permissions

   • Ensure your user/role has the necessary permissions for Feature Management.

5. Restart the Application

   • After making these changes, rebuild and restart your application.

Once these steps are completed, the "Feature management" option should appear under the Settings menu.

To use the ABP access-token.bin for licensing in a GitHub Actions (or any CI/CD) Docker build, you need to copy the access-token.bin file into the container so the ABP licensing system can find it. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

1. Generate or obtain your access-token.bin file by logging in with the ABP CLI on your local machine:

abp login <username>

This will create the file at:
~/.abp/cli/access-token.bin (Linux/macOS)
or
%USERPROFILE%\.abp\cli\access-token.bin (Windows)

2. Add the access-token.bin file to your repository as a GitHub Actions secret (for example, as a base64-encoded string).

3. In your GitHub Actions workflow, decode the secret and write it to a file before building the Docker image:

- name: Decode ABP access token
     run: |
       echo "${{ secrets.ABP_ACCESS_TOKEN_BIN }}" | base64 -d > access-token.bin

4. Update your Dockerfile to copy the access-token.bin into the correct location inside the container:

RUN mkdir -p /root/.abp/cli
   COPY access-token.bin /root/.abp/cli/access-token.bin

5. Build your Docker image as usual. The ABP licensing check will now succeed inside the container.

This approach is confirmed as the solution for running ABP commercial modules in Docker and CI/CD environments.

• The error "invalid issuer in discovery document expected: https://localhost:44338 current: https://localhost:44338/" is caused by a trailing slash mismatch between the issuer URL in your Angular environment configuration and the issuer returned by your backend's OpenID Connect discovery document. ABP's Angular OAuth module performs strict validation, so both URLs must match exactly (including or excluding the trailing slash).

• The error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'grant_type')" is a side effect of the failed discovery document validation, which prevents the OAuth flow from initializing properly.

How to fix:

1. Open your Angular project's environment configuration (typically environment.ts or environment.prod.ts).
2. Locate the oAuthConfig.issuer property.
3. Make sure the value matches exactly what your backend returns in the discovery document. If your backend returns https://localhost:44338/ (with a trailing slash), then set:

oAuthConfig: {
     issuer: 'https://localhost:44338/', // Note the trailing slash
     ...
   }

If it returns without the slash, remove it in the config.

4. Save and restart your Angular app.

This should resolve both the issuer validation and the grant_type errors, allowing the login buttons to work as expected.

Storing access tokens in local storage is the default approach in ABP Angular applications, but it is not possible to set HttpOnly or SameSite attributes for tokens stored in browser storage from the Angular side. These attributes are only available for cookies set by the server, not for values stored in local or session storage.

To comply with security requirements such as HttpOnly and SameSite, you must switch from storing tokens in local storage to using secure cookies. This requires significant changes:

1. Implement server-side authentication using cookies (e.g., OpenID Connect with cookie authentication).
2. Configure your AuthServer to issue authentication cookies with the HttpOnly and SameSite attributes.
3. Update your Angular app to use cookie-based authentication instead of storing tokens in local storage.

There is no built-in ABP Angular mechanism to store access tokens in HttpOnly cookies, as this is a limitation of browser JavaScript APIs. The only way to achieve this is to handle authentication entirely on the server and use cookies for session management.

• In the ABP SaaS module, features assigned via an edition are linked to the tenant's subscription. When an edition (and its subscription) expires, the expected behavior is that the features provided by that edition should no longer be available to the tenant.

• However, by default, the ABP SaaS module does not automatically invalidate or remove the features from the tenant when the edition expires. The features remain accessible unless you implement custom logic to handle feature invalidation upon edition expiration.

• To achieve the behavior where features become invalid after the edition expires, you need to implement a mechanism (such as a background job or event handler) that checks for expired subscriptions and updates or removes the tenant's feature values accordingly.

• The ABP SaaS module provides extensibility points where you can hook into subscription/edition changes and enforce your own business rules for feature availability.

• For more details, refer to the official documentation and related support discussions:

• The behavior you are seeing is the expected and intended design of ABP's permission dependency system. When you use .RequirePermissions("AbpIdentity.Users", "AbpIdentity.Roles") in your permission definition, ABP will only consider your custom permission as "granted" if both the permission itself and all required permissions are granted to the user. However, this dependency is enforced at runtime (authorization check), not in the UI.

• The ABP Permission Management UI (the permissions pop-up/modal) does not automatically select or enforce dependent permissions when you select a permission that has dependencies. It also does not prevent saving if dependencies are not met. The dependency is only checked when the permission is used (e.g., when accessing a page or API that requires it).

• There is currently no built-in way in ABP to make the permission management UI automatically select, enforce, or visually indicate permission dependencies. The UI will allow you to grant a permission without its dependencies, but at runtime, the permission will not be effective unless all dependencies are also granted.

• If you want the UI to enforce or visually indicate permission dependencies, you would need to customize the Permission Management UI. This would involve overriding the relevant components/pages to add logic that checks for dependencies and updates the UI accordingly.

• In summary:

  • .RequirePermissions only affects runtime authorization, not the UI.
  • There is no built-in mechanism to enforce or display permission dependencies in the permission management UI.
  • Customization of the UI is required for the behavior you described.

There is no secure way to keep the Blazorise product token hidden from the client in a Blazor WebAssembly (WASM) application. In WASM, all application code and configuration—including any tokens or secrets—are downloaded to the user's browser, making it impossible to keep such values confidential.

Even if you retrieve the product token from Azure Key Vault in your host project, you cannot securely pass it to the WASM client without exposing it. Any method of injecting the token into the client (such as via API, configuration, or JavaScript interop) will ultimately make it accessible to end users.

The Blazorise product token is intended to be used on the client side, and the licensing model assumes it will be visible in the distributed application. This is a limitation of all client-side web technologies, not just ABP or Blazorise.

If you require the product token to remain secret, you would need to use a server-side Blazor (Blazor Server) or another server-rendered technology, where the token can be kept on the server and not exposed to the client.

• The Select2 package (referenced in CVE-2016-10744: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-10744) is a third-party JavaScript library sometimes included in ABP-based solutions for enhanced dropdowns.
• ABP Framework itself does not maintain the Select2 library but may include it in templates or as a dependency in some UI modules.
• The recommended approach is to update Select2 to the latest version, as the vulnerability is fixed in newer releases of Select2. You can manually update the Select2 files in your solution or override the version used by ABP by updating your package.json or replacing the library in your wwwroot/libs folder.
• There is no official ABP patch for this specific CVE, but keeping all third-party libraries up to date is the best practice. If you are using a commercial or managed ABP solution, you can request the ABP team to update the dependency in future releases.

1. For the issue with [DisableValidation] and 400 errors in WebAssembly (WASM) mode:

   • In Blazor WASM (especially with prerendering or InteractiveAuto), validation may occur on the client before the request reaches your API. ABP's generated proxies and validation pipeline can behave differently between server and WASM modes. If you want to ensure validation only happens on the server, avoid using client-side proxies for these calls, or use direct HTTP requests (e.g., via HttpClient) to your API endpoints. This bypasses the client-side validation layer and ensures the [DisableValidation] attribute is respected server-side.
   • There is no built-in ABP option to globally disable client-side validation for all proxies in WASM mode. You must either avoid using the generated proxy for that endpoint or customize the proxy/service code to skip validation.

2. For the file upload API returning "Unsupported Media Type" in WASM mode:

   • This error typically occurs if the request's Content-Type does not match what the API expects (e.g., multipart/form-data for file uploads). In Blazor WASM, ensure you are using IBrowserFile and MultipartFormDataContent when sending files, and that your API action is decorated with [Consumes("multipart/form-data")].
   • If you are using ABP's auto-generated proxies, they may not handle file uploads correctly in WASM mode. In such cases, use HttpClient directly to construct and send the multipart request.

Example for file upload in Blazor WASM:

var content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
content.Add(new StreamContent(file.OpenReadStream()), "File", file.Name);
await httpClient.PostAsync("api/your-endpoint", content);

And in your API controller:

[HttpPost]
[Consumes("multipart/form-data")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Upload([FromForm] YourFileUploadDto input)
{
    // handle file
}

Summary:

• For [DisableValidation], use direct HTTP calls for endpoints where you want to avoid client-side validation.
• For file uploads, use HttpClient with MultipartFormDataContent and ensure your API expects multipart/form-data.
