  • Your MVC app calls app.MapAbpStaticAssets() during startup. In ABP 9.x this middleware writes a static web assets endpoints manifest file (e.g. Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.staticwebassets.endpoints.json) to the content root.
  • In your container, the content root is /app, but the process user doesn’t have write permission there (common when running as a non-root user and/or when /app is from a read-only image layer), so startup fails with: Access to the path '/app/Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.staticwebassets.endpoints.json' is denied.

Fix (recommended): make /app writable for the container user

Update your Dockerfile so the runtime user can write to /app:

# ... your existing build/publish stages ...

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .

# If you run as a non-root user, ensure /app is owned by that user
# (UID/GID depends on your image/user setup)
RUN chown -R 1000:1000 /app
USER 1000

ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "Approach.Web.dll"]

If you’re using ABP’s default non-root approach but with a different UID, adjust 1000 accordingly.

Fix (compose-only alternative): mount a writable volume over /app

If you can’t change the image, you can ensure /app is writable by mounting a volume (note: this can hide files in /app if you mount over it, so it must be used carefully; generally prefer the Dockerfile fix):

services:
  web:
    volumes:
      - web_app_data:/app
volumes:
  web_app_data:

Fix (workaround): disable MapAbpStaticAssets if you don’t need it

If you are not using ABP virtual-file-system UI assets in this host, you can remove/comment the call:

// app.MapAbpStaticAssets();

(Only do this if you confirm your UI still serves required static/virtual assets correctly.)

  • In ABP startup templates, logging is typically configured in Program.cs on purpose because the host needs a logger before the DI container and modules are built, so startup/bootstrapping errors are captured reliably (including failures that happen while reading configuration, building the app, running migrations, initializing modules, etc.). ABP also ships templates with Serilog pre-wired and a few “baseline” enrichers/sinks so you immediately get useful logs during development without extra setup.
  • That said, ABP does not prevent configuring logging from appsettings*.json. You can (and in production usually should) move almost all Serilog configuration into configuration files and let different environments override it using appsettings.Development.json, appsettings.Production.json, environment variables, etc.

Concrete approach (template-friendly):

  1. Put Serilog settings into appsettings.json (and overrides into appsettings.{Environment}.json).
  2. In Program.cs, keep only the minimal bootstrap code and load Serilog from configuration:
using Serilog;

   var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

   builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, services, loggerConfiguration) =>
   {
       loggerConfiguration
           .ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration)   // <-- appsettings.json
           .ReadFrom.Services(services);                   // <-- DI-based enrichers if any
   });

   await builder.AddApplicationAsync<MyHttpApiHostModule>();
   var app = builder.Build();
   await app.InitializeApplicationAsync();
   await app.RunAsync();
  1. Use environment-specific configuration normally:
    • appsettings.Development.json -> verbose logs
    • appsettings.Production.json -> warning/error + production sinks (Elastic/AppInsights/etc.)

What about “hardcoded minimum level” / WASM scenarios?

  • In Blazor WebAssembly, configuration and logging are constrained by the client-side hosting model; the template may set a default minimum level in code to ensure sane defaults and avoid shipping overly-verbose client logs unintentionally. You can still drive this via configuration, but you must ensure your WASM config files are actually loaded/selected per environment (WASM uses wwwroot/appsettings*.json).

  • Tiered auth-server setup (Blazor Server UI + separated Auth Server): Do all login/registration UI + backend flow overrides in the Auth Server (the project that actually hosts /Account/Login and issues the auth cookies/tokens). The Blazor Server UI typically redirects to the Auth Server for authentication; changing Blazor UI won’t change the auth flow itself.

  • 1) Override UI (HTML/CSS) in the Auth Server

    1. In the AuthServer project, create:
      • Pages/Account/Login.cshtml
      • Pages/Account/Register.cshtml
    2. Copy the original markup from the Account Module page(s) and modify HTML/CSS as you need.
    3. Keep theme styling by continuing to use the Account layout (usually it’s already applied by the theme). Practically, the safest approach is: copy the original page and only adjust the parts you need (classes/structure), so you don’t accidentally drop required ABP tag helpers/bundles.

    (This is the official “override Razor Page” mechanism used by ABP.)


  • 2) Override backend logic: extend/replace LoginModel / RegisterModel ABP’s recommended way for Razor Pages is to create your own PageModel that derives from the module’s PageModel and then point the .cshtml to your custom model using @model.

    Custom login PageModel (Auth Server project):

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;
  using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
  using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;
  using Volo.Abp.Account.Web;
  using Volo.Abp.Account.Web.Pages.Account;

  namespace MyCompany.MyProject.AuthServer.Pages.Account;

  public class CustomLoginModel : LoginModel
  {
      public CustomLoginModel(
          IAuthenticationSchemeProvider schemeProvider,
          IOptions<AbpAccountOptions> accountOptions)
          : base(schemeProvider, accountOptions)
      {
      }

      public override async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync(string action)
      {
          // 1) Your custom validation / 3rd-party checks here

          // 2) Then continue with the default ABP login behavior
          return await base.OnPostAsync(action);
      }
  }

Then in Pages/Account/Login.cshtml set:

@page
  @model MyCompany.MyProject.AuthServer.Pages.Account.CustomLoginModel

Do the same pattern for Register: create CustomRegisterModel : RegisterModel, override the method(s) you need, then set @model in Register.cshtml.

Notes (important):

  • Naming convention matters: If your class name doesn’t end with LoginModel / RegisterModel, you may need to replace via DI. If you follow the convention, you can typically just reference it from the .cshtml using @model as shown in ABP docs.
  • In some setups using OpenIddict-supported account pages, ABP docs note the base model can differ. (If your solution uses the OpenIddict variants, follow that note and inherit from the OpenIddict-supported model instead of plain LoginModel.)

  • 3) Persist extra fields in AbpUsers (tiered + separated Auth Server) Yes: in a tiered solution with a separated Auth Server, the Module Entity Extension System is the correct approach so the extra properties are known across the solution (contracts/shared) and are mapped properly where Identity is used.

    The key idea:

    • Define the extra properties in your .Domain.Shared (so DTOs/UI can “know” the properties).
    • Ensure EF Core mapping is applied in the project that owns the IdentityDbContext / migrations (commonly the Auth Server’s EF Core layer / DbMigrator path in a tiered setup).

    (The concrete mapping code depends on your existing solution structure, but the correct direction is: Entity Extension System in Domain.Shared + EF Core mapping/migrations applied where identity DB schema is managed.)


  • 4) LeptonX compatibility (keeping account look & responsive layout) For LeptonX (and ABP themes generally), the most robust method is:

    • Copy the existing Login/Register Razor pages from the module and modify minimally.
    • That preserves the theme’s account layout usage and bundling conventions that produce the responsive styling.

    If you completely rewrite markup, you risk dropping the layout/bundle hooks that the theme uses.

  1. Solution

In ABP applications, both:

  • /api/abp/application-configuration
  • /swagger/v1/swagger.json

are among the very first endpoints that hit all your infrastructure (DB, Redis, distributed cache, OpenIddict, etc.).
After deployment to Azure Container Apps, a 500 here almost always means environment‑specific configuration (especially Redis / cache / connection strings / certificates) is wrong.

Below is a concrete checklist that matches your scenario (tiered, Redis/RabbitMQ, containers) and what we’ve seen in similar ABP support tickets.


1. Check the real exception in the API logs

First, get the HttpApi.Host container logs and look for the first stack trace that appears when you call:

  • https://<your-api>/api/abp/application-configuration
    or
  • https://<your-api>/swagger/v1/swagger.json

Typical failing components in production/container environments:

  • Redis / distributed cache
  • Data Protection (Redis or key ring)
  • OpenIddict certificate loading
  • Wrong DB connection string

Until you see that exception, the front-end 500/“Failed to load API definition” is just a symptom.


2. Fix Redis / distributed cache configuration (most common cause)

In container / cloud environments, bad Redis configuration will crash application-configuration and Swagger.

In HttpApi.Host’s environment appsettings (for example appsettings.Production.json or the environment you set in ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT), you should have something like:

{
  "Redis": {
    "Configuration": "your-redis-name.redis.cache.windows.net:6380,password=YOUR_PRIMARY_KEY,ssl=True,abortConnect=False"
  },

  "DistributedCache": {
    "KeyPrefix": "Millennial:"
  }
}

Key points:

  • Use the full Azure Cache for Redis connection string, not just host:port.
  • Make sure the port is 6380 with ssl=True in Azure.
  • Apply the same configuration in:
    • HttpApi.Host (appsettings.<env>.json)
    • DbMigrator (appsettings.<env>.json)
    • Any other service using Redis (AuthServer, Background workers, etc.) if present.

If you don’t actually have Redis in the Azure environment yet:

  • Either provision Azure Cache for Redis and configure as above, or
  • Disable Redis usage in your solution (remove AbpRedisCache / Redis DataProtection config, and use in‑memory cache for now).

A misconfigured Redis (wrong address or missing password) will usually show errors like:

  • NOAUTH Authentication required
  • socket / timeout / connection refused errors to Redis host

These will appear in the API logs right before the 500 on /api/abp/application-configuration.


3. Make sure the environment name matches your appsettings

If your Container App has:

ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production

then the app will use:

  • appsettings.json
  • appsettings.Production.json

Common mistakes:

  • Configured Redis, DB, URLs only in appsettings.Staging.json / appsettings.Development.json, but container runs with Production.
  • Or vice versa.

Ensure the environment you set in Azure Container Apps matches the file where you placed your production settings.


4. Verify App / Auth URLs for tiered Blazor Server

In the HttpApi.Host appsettings for your deployment environment:

{
  "App": {
    "SelfUrl": "https://<your-api-container-url>"
  },
  "AuthServer": {
    "Authority": "https://<your-auth-server-url-or-api-url>",
    "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
  },
  "CorsOrigins": "https://<your-blazor-server-url>,https://<your-public-web-url>"
}

In the Blazor Server appsettings for the same environment:

{
  "RemoteServices": {
    "Default": {
      "BaseUrl": "https://<your-api-container-url>"
    }
  },
  "AuthServer": {
    "Authority": "https://<your-auth-server-url-or-api-url>",
    "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
  }
}

Wrong urls typically cause 401/403, not 500, but if some auth/URL‑dependent configuration runs during Application Configuration, it can contribute to failures. Validate them anyway.


5. OpenIddict certificates in containers (if your AuthServer is in the same app)

In containerized / Azure environments, development certificates like AddDevelopmentEncryptionAndSigningCertificate cannot be used reliably. For OpenIddict you should:

In your AuthServer (or the auth-host) module’s PreConfigureServices:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
    var env = context.Services.GetHostingEnvironment();

    if (!env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        PreConfigure<AbpOpenIddictAspNetCoreOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.AddDevelopmentEncryptionAndSigningCertificate = false;
        });

        PreConfigure<OpenIddictServerBuilder>(builder =>
        {
            builder.AddProductionEncryptionAndSigningCertificate(
                "openiddict.pfx",
                Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENIDDICT_CERT_PASSWORD"));

            // optional: set token lifetimes as needed
        });
    }
}

Then:

  • Mount openiddict.pfx into the container (volume or file copy at build/publish).
  • Set the password via an environment variable or Azure secret.

If certificates are misconfigured, you’ll see CryptographicException: Keyset does not exist or similar in logs. That can also result in 500s when the app tries to build application configuration (because auth/validation configuration fails).


6. Summary of what to do right now

  1. Get the HttpApi.Host container logs and find the first exception when hitting /api/abp/application-configuration.
  2. Fix Redis configuration in all appsettings for the deployment environment using the full Azure connection string.
  3. Ensure ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT in Azure matches the appsettings <env> you edited.
  4. Verify App:SelfUrl, AuthServer:Authority, RemoteServices:Default:BaseUrl, and CorsOrigins for your Blazor Server + API + AuthServer.
  5. If using OpenIddict in that environment, use a production PFX certificate rather than development certs.

Once the infrastructure configuration (especially Redis and connection strings) is correct, /api/abp/application-configuration returns 200 and Swagger will load again.

  1. Root cause

From the log:

  • System.Exception: Unable to unprotect the message.State (during remote login callback)
  • The required antiforgery request token was not provided...
  • HTTP 400 on /Error?httpStatusCode=400

This combination typically happens when:

  • The auth / antiforgery cookies are not sent back to your app after the external login redirect (most often because of SameSite cookie rules, especially with external IdPs, reverse proxies, HTTPS/HTTP mismatch, or some browsers like Safari), or
  • Data‑Protection keys are not stable/shared, so the app cannot decrypt the state that was encrypted before redirect.

When the cookies or keys don’t match, ASP.NET Core fails to unprotect the state parameter and the antiforgery system also fails, resulting in 400.


  1. Recommended fixes

Apply all of these; they address the most common production causes.

2.1. Make sure cookies work correctly across redirects (SameSite + HTTPS)

Especially if you use:

  • External identity provider (Azure AD, ADFS, etc.)
  • A different domain for AuthServer and UI
  • Safari / recent Chrome / reverse proxy (NGINX, load balancer)

Do the following in your AuthServer / UI host:

  • Run only over HTTPS.
  • Configure cookie policy for compatibility with modern SameSite behavior (so cookies are sent on the external redirect round‑trip).

The ABP team recommends the patch described here (originally for IdentityServer4, but the SameSite issue is the same):

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddSameSiteCookiePolicy(); // extension method from the article/patch
}

And in Configure:

app.UseCookiePolicy();

Details and full sample code are in this ABP article and support answer:

  • https://abp.io/community/articles/patch-for-chrome-login-issue-identityserver4-samesite-cookie-problem-weypwp3n
  • https://abp.io/support/questions/9426

These ensure that the antiforgery and auth cookies are correctly set with SameSite=None; Secure (or appropriate fallbacks), so they survive the external login redirect.


2.2. Use a persistent/shared Data Protection key ring

If you are:

  • Running in a web farm / multiple containers, or
  • Redeploying often without persisting keys

then each instance may have different Data‑Protection keys. The state value is encrypted before redirect and must be decrypted by the same keys on callback.

Configure ASP.NET Core Data Protection to use a persistent store (shared across all instances) – for example, a folder volume or Redis:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services
        .AddDataProtection()
        .PersistKeysToFileSystem(new DirectoryInfo(@"/var/keys")) // or a shared folder
        .SetApplicationName("YourAppName");
}

Do this in all AuthServer / UI hosts.

(If you already persist keys, ensure all instances point to the same location and time is in sync.)


2.3. Address the antiforgery error itself

After fixing cookies/keys, the antiforgery error may still appear if some POST is being made without a token (e.g., a custom form, widget, or JS client).

Typical ABP solutions:

  1. Add the antiforgery token to your custom views (MVC / Razor):
<form asp-action="..." method="post">
       @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
       ...
   </form>

or ensure your layout includes the default ABP antiforgery helpers (which then can be read and added as a header by your JS code).

  1. For API endpoints called via JS / Swagger, either:

    • Send the antiforgery token in header RequestVerificationToken, or
    • If the endpoint is not form‑based (pure API), decorate it with:
[IgnoreAntiforgeryToken]
     public class YourAppService : ApplicationService
     {
         // ...
     }

Relevant ABP support references:

  • File upload / custom JS call missing antiforgery token: https://abp.io/support/questions/3406
  • Custom page without default theme missing antiforgery cookie: https://abp.io/support/questions/595

  1. Practical checklist

  2. Ensure HTTPS everywhere (AuthServer and UI).

  3. Apply the SameSite cookie patch (or equivalent configuration) as per the ABP article.

  4. Configure persistent/shared Data‑Protection keys.

  5. Check any custom POST endpoints/views:

    • Add antiforgery token to forms, or
    • Use [IgnoreAntiforgeryToken] on pure API actions.
  6. Re-test the login flow:

    • Clear browser cookies.
    • Log in via the external provider.
    • Confirm you no longer see Unable to unprotect the message.State or missing antiforgery token, and the 400 no longer appears.

  1. Solution

There is currently no ABP‑specific or Mapperly‑level “global switch” that makes Mapperly behave like AutoMapper regarding null source / navigation properties. Mapperly’s behavior is intentionally strict and driven by C# nullability. So:

  • You cannot globally say “ignore null source members and don’t throw NREs” like you could effectively get with AutoMapper’s implicit behavior.
  • You must model nullability correctly and/or write explicit null‑safe mappings where needed.

Given that, for a large ABP application the realistic options are:


A. Short‑Term: Keep AutoMapper for the parts that depend on its null behavior

ABP v10 supports using AutoMapper and Mapperly side by side. For a big system that heavily relied on AutoMapper’s implicit null handling, the most practical migration path is:

  1. Keep AutoMapper enabled for existing mappings
    • Keep (or re‑add) the AutoMapper integration in the projects where you can’t yet afford to refactor all mappings:
[DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpAutoMapperModule),
         // other modules...
     )]
     public class MyProjectApplicationModule : AbpModule
     {
         public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
         {
             context.Services.AddAutoMapperObjectMapper<MyProjectApplicationModule>();

             Configure<AbpAutoMapperOptions>(options =>
             {
                 options.AddMaps<MyProjectApplicationModule>(validate: true);
             });
         }
     }
  • Continue to use your existing Profile classes and CreateMap<,>() configurations. AutoMapper will keep handling nulls the way it always has.
  1. Introduce Mapperly gradually for new / refactored areas
    • For new modules or new DTOs, configure Mapperly:
[DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpMapperlyModule),
         // ...
     )]
     public class MyNewModule : AbpModule
     {
         public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
         {
             context.Services.AddMapperlyObjectMapper<MyNewModule>();
         }
     }
  • Use Mapperly mappers only where you explicitly design nullability correctly and can tolerate its strictness.
  1. Use ObjectMapperContext to select which mapper is used
    • In an app service that should still use AutoMapper:
public class LegacyAppService : ApplicationService
     {
         public LegacyAppService()
         {
             ObjectMapperContext = typeof(MyProjectApplicationModule); // AutoMapper context
         }
     }
  • In a new app service that should use Mapperly:
public class NewAppService : ApplicationService
     {
         public NewAppService()
         {
             ObjectMapperContext = typeof(MyNewModule); // Mapperly context
         }
     }

This allows you to migrate incrementally instead of forcing the whole codebase to Mapperly’s strict rules at once.


B. Long‑Term: Migrate to Mapperly with explicit nullability and null‑safe mappings

For the parts you do want to move fully to Mapperly, the strategy is:

1. Make nullability explicit in your models and DTOs

Mapperly trusts your C# nullability annotations:

  • If a navigation can be missing:
public class Order
  {
      public Customer? Customer { get; set; }  // nullable if optional
  }

  public class OrderDto
  {
      public string? CustomerName { get; set; }  // nullable if Customer may be null
  }
  • Avoid declaring as non‑nullable when it can actually be null (that’s what leads to NREs in the generated code).

Run with nullable reference types enabled and clean up warnings on your mapping types; this drastically reduces Mapperly‑induced NREs.

2. Use custom logic for nested null‑sensitive properties

Where you previously relied on AutoMapper’s “it just works” behavior for nested paths, switch to null‑safe custom logic instead of direct property flattening.

Example:

[Mapper]
public partial class OrderMapper : MapperBase<Order, OrderDto>
{
    public override partial OrderDto Map(Order source);
    public override partial void Map(Order source, OrderDto destination);

    // Custom null-safe logic
    partial void Map(Order source, OrderDto destination)
    {
        destination.CustomerName = source.Customer?.Name ?? string.Empty;
    }
}

or use an AfterMap pattern in a partial method—key idea is: do the ?. and ?? yourself rather than relying on Mapperly to silently ignore nulls.

3. Align ABP Mapperly configuration

Ensure your module is correctly configured for Mapperly so that ObjectMapper.Map<,>() goes through Mapperly for that context:

using Volo.Abp.Mapperly;

[DependsOn(typeof(AbpMapperlyModule))]
public class MyMapperlyApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        // default Mapperly object mapper
        context.Services.AddMapperlyObjectMapper();

        // optional: contextual Mapperly mapper for this module
        context.Services.AddMapperlyObjectMapper<MyMapperlyApplicationModule>();
    }
}

Then, in your service:

public class MyAppService : ApplicationService
{
    public MyAppService()
    {
        ObjectMapperContext = typeof(MyMapperlyApplicationModule);
    }

    public Task<OrderDto> GetAsync(Order order)
    {
        var dto = ObjectMapper.Map<Order, OrderDto>(order); // Mapperly-based
        return Task.FromResult(dto);
    }
}

4. Systematically update problematic mappings

For the crashes you’re seeing now:

  • Find the mappings that flatten navigations (e.g. Customer.Name -> CustomerName, Parent.Child.GrandChild.Prop, etc.).
  • For each:
    • Make source navigations nullable where they can actually be null.
    • Make target properties nullable or give them a default (e.g. string.Empty) through custom code.
    • Replace AutoMapper‑style convention mapping with explicit null‑safe logic in Mapperly.

This is mechanical but can be scripted/assisted by IDE analyzers focusing on:

  • Non‑nullable DTO properties sourced from potentially nullable navigations.
  • Places where EF navigation is optional but declared non‑nullable.

C. Summary of what is and is not possible

  • Does ABP/Mapperly provide a global option to mimic AutoMapper’s null behavior?
    No. There is no framework‑level or Mapperly‑level setting that will:

    • Automatically skip assignments where the source navigation is null, or
    • Automatically assign default values for such cases.
  • Recommended migration strategy for large apps:

    1. Short‑term:
      • Keep AutoMapper around for existing mappings that count on its null semantics.
      • Introduce Mapperly only in new or refactored parts.
    2. Long‑term:
      • Gradually migrate modules to Mapperly by:
        • Fixing nullability in entities/DTOs.
        • Writing explicit null‑safe mapping logic for nested/navigational members.
        • Configuring ObjectMapperContext and AbpMapperlyModule properly per module.

  1. Solution

ABP does not provide a built‑in “synchronize / upsert and delete obsolete” helper for permission grants, but it is straightforward to implement on top of the existing permission management APIs.

The recommended approach for seeding permissions is:

  • Use an IDataSeedContributor.
  • Use IPermissionDefinitionManager (and/or your own configuration) to know which permissions should be granted.
  • Use IPermissionGrantRepository (or IPermissionGrantStore / IPermissionManager) to:
    • Read current grants for a given provider (e.g. a role or user) and tenant.
    • Insert missing grants.
    • Delete obsolete grants that are not in your current desired set.

Below is an example that performs full synchronization (“database must equal seed definition”) for a given role.

1.1. Define the desired permission set

Typically, you maintain the desired permissions in code (constants, config, etc.):

public static class MyPermissionSeed
{
    // Permission names; these should exist as defined permissions
    public static readonly string[] AdminRolePermissions =
    {
        "MyApp.Permissions.UserManagement",
        "MyApp.Permissions.Reports.View",
        "MyApp.Permissions.Reports.Edit",
        // ...
    };

    public const string ProviderName = "R"; // "R" = Role (same as RolePermissionValueProvider.ProviderName)
    public const string AdminRoleName = "admin"; // or your own role name
}

Note: For role permission provider name, ABP uses RolePermissionValueProvider.ProviderName (usually "R").

1.2. Implement a syncing IDataSeedContributor

This contributor will be executed by your DbMigrator and will:

  1. Resolve the admin role id.
  2. Load all existing permission grants for this role.
  3. Add missing ones.
  4. Delete obsolete ones.

        var allPermissionDefinitions = await _permissionDefinitionManager.GetPermissionsAsync();
        var validPermissionNames = new HashSet<string>(
            allPermissionDefinitions.Select(p => p.Name)
        );

        var desiredPermissionNames = MyPermissionSeed.AdminRolePermissions
            .Where(validPermissionNames.Contains)
            .ToHashSet();

        // 2) Load current grants for this provider (role) & tenant
        var currentGrants = await _permissionGrantRepository.GetListAsync(
            name: null,
            providerName: providerName,
            providerKey: providerKey,
            tenantId: context.TenantId
        );

        var currentPermissionNames = currentGrants
            .Select(g => g.Name)
            .ToHashSet();

        // 3) Determine which to add and which to delete
        var toAdd = desiredPermissionNames.Except(currentPermissionNames).ToList();
        var toDelete = currentPermissionNames.Except(desiredPermissionNames).ToList();

        // 4) Insert missing
        foreach (var permissionName in toAdd)
        {
            await _permissionGrantRepository.InsertAsync(
                new PermissionGrant(
                    GuidGenerator.Create(),
                    permissionName,
                    providerName,
                    providerKey,
                    context.TenantId
                ),
                autoSave: false
            );
        }

        // 5) Delete obsolete
        if (toDelete.Any())
        {
            foreach (var permissionName in toDelete)
            {
                var grant = currentGrants.FirstOrDefault(g => g.Name == permissionName);
                if (grant != null)
                {
                    await _permissionGrantRepository.DeleteAsync(grant, autoSave: false);
                }
            }
        }

        await uow.CompleteAsync();
    }
}

Important points:

  • Upsert behaviour:
    • “Insert” is handled by creating new PermissionGrant entities for the toAdd list.
    • “Update” is usually not needed because a grant record is just “permission granted”; if it exists, it’s already “true”.
  • Delete obsolete: we compute toDelete and remove those grants.
  • Multi‑tenancy:
    • Use DataSeedContext.TenantId to seed per tenant.
    • If you want to seed all tenants from host side, resolve tenant list and call SeedAsync (or the inner logic) for each.

1.3. Role Id Lookup example

You can use IdentityRoleManager (from Volo.Abp.Identity) to find the role id, wrapped in a small service:

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Identity;

public interface IRoleIdLookupService
{
    Task<Guid?> GetRoleIdByNameAsync(string roleName, Guid? tenantId);
}

public class RoleIdLookupService : IRoleIdLookupService
{
    private readonly IdentityRoleManager _roleManager;

    public RoleIdLookupService(IdentityRoleManager roleManager)
    {
        _roleManager = roleManager;
    }

    public async Task<Guid?> GetRoleIdByNameAsync(string roleName, Guid? tenantId)
    {
        var role = await _roleManager.FindByNameAsync(roleName);
        return role?.Id;
    }
}

You can simplify this and inject IdentityRoleManager directly into the seed contributor if you prefer.

1.4. Where to place it

  • Place your PermissionSyncDataSeedContributor in a Domain project (e.g., *.Domain).
  • Ensure the DbMigrator project references the module that contains this contributor and the permission definitions (usually *.Application.Contracts or *.Domain.Shared for definitions).

  1. Solution

In your current state:

  • Tokens are being issued by https://auth.aaa.com/
  • All services (web, gateways, microservices) are rejecting them (invalid_token, issuer is invalid)
  • So no service can authenticate.

You must make issuer and authority 100% consistent everywhere, and in Kubernetes you typically also need to explicitly set ValidIssuers (and sometimes a SignatureValidator) in each service.

Do the following steps exactly.


1. AuthServer: define a fixed HTTPS issuer

In your AuthServer project module:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
    var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

    PreConfigure<OpenIddictServerBuilder>(builder =>
    {
        // Must be the public URL of your AuthServer (the same URL you use from browser)
        builder.SetIssuer(new Uri(configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]!));
    });
}

And in AuthServer appsettings.Production.json or environment variables (in k8s):

"AuthServer": {
  "Authority": "https://auth.aaa.com",   // no trailing slash; code adds it
  "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
}

Important:

  • https://auth.aaa.com/.well-known/openid-configuration must be reachable from inside the cluster and from browsers.

2. All services: JWT bearer with explicit ValidIssuers

In every project that validates tokens (Angular backend, web app, web gateway, all microservices), configure authentication like this in the module:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Volo.Abp;
using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

public class MyServiceHttpApiHostModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

        context.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
            .AddAbpJwtBearer(options =>
            {
                // Must be the same public URL as in AuthServer
                options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]; // "https://auth.aaa.com"
                options.RequireHttpsMetadata = true;

                // Audience must match 'aud' claim in the token for this service
                options.Audience = "MyServiceName";

                // FIX: IDX10204 / invalid issuer in k8s
                options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
                {
                    ValidIssuers = new[]
                    {
                        configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]!.EnsureEndsWith('/') // "https://auth.aaa.com/"
                    }
                };

                // If you still get signature key resolution errors in k8s (IDX10500),
                // you can temporarily add this workaround:
                /*
                options.TokenValidationParameters.SignatureValidator = (token, parameters) =>
                {
                    var jwt = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens.JsonWebToken(token);
                    return jwt;
                };
                */
            });
    }
}

And in each service’s config (values via env in k8s):

"AuthServer": {
  "Authority": "https://auth.aaa.com",
  "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
}

Every service must use this same AuthServer:Authority.
Do not mix in http:// or internal hostnames here.


3. Internal client-to-service calls (IdentityClients)

If services call other services using client credentials (IdentityClients), also align their Authority:

"IdentityClients": {
  "Default": {
    "Authority": "https://auth.aaa.com",
    "ClientId": "MyService_Internal",
    "ClientSecret": "…",
    "GrantType": "client_credentials",
    "Scope": "MyScope"
  }
}

Again, same https://auth.aaa.com everywhere.


4. Verify inside Kubernetes

From a pod (e.g., admin microservice), run:

curl -k https://auth.aaa.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

You should see JSON whose:

  • issuer is https://auth.aaa.com/
  • all endpoints are https://auth.aaa.com/...

If that’s not true, fix DNS / ingress until it is.


5. If still no service authenticates

On one failing service (e.g., Administration microservice):

  1. Enable IdentityModel debug logs as in the article.

  2. Confirm that at startup or at first authenticated request it tries to fetch:

    https://auth.aaa.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

  3. If it instead goes to http://... or localhost, your Authority is still wrong in that service.

Once:

  • AuthServer issuer = https://auth.aaa.com/
  • All services AuthServer:Authority = https://auth.aaa.com
  • All services TokenValidationParameters.ValidIssuers include https://auth.aaa.com/

your invalid_token / issuer errors will disappear and the services will start authenticating requests.

  1. Solution

The new error:

WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token",
 error_description="The issuer 'https://auth.routilia.com/' is invalid"

means: the token’s iss = https://auth.routilia.com/ but the API that validates the token does not accept this issuer as valid.

Configure both AuthServer and all APIs / gateways so that:

  • The issuer in tokens is https://auth.routilia.com/
  • The JWT validation in every API explicitly allows that issuer

1. AuthServer: set the issuer

In your AuthServer module:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
    var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

    PreConfigure<OpenIddictServerBuilder>(builder =>
    {
        // Must be the public URL of your AuthServer
        builder.SetIssuer(new Uri(configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]!));
    });
}

And in appsettings.json (or k8s env vars) of AuthServer:

"AuthServer": {
  "Authority": "https://auth.routilia.com",
  "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
}

Make sure the AuthServer is actually reachable at https://auth.routilia.com/.well-known/openid-configuration from inside the cluster.


2. APIs / Gateways: configure JWT validation

In every service that receives bearer tokens (web app, public web, gateways, microservices), configure JWT like this:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Volo.Abp;
using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

public class YourServiceModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

        context.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
            .AddAbpJwtBearer(options =>
            {
                options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"];   // "https://auth.routilia.com"
                options.Audience = "YourServiceName";                        // must match token 'aud'

                options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
                {
                    // Accept the issuer seen in the token:
                    ValidIssuers = new[]
                    {
                        configuration["AuthServer:Authority"].EnsureEndsWith('/')
                        // -> "https://auth.routilia.com/"
                    }
                };
            });
    }
}

And in appsettings.json or k8s env of each API:

"AuthServer": {
  "Authority": "https://auth.routilia.com",
  "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
}

If you previously used some internal HTTP URL (like http://auth-svc or http://localhost) as Authority or issuer, remove it and consistently use the same HTTPS public URL everywhere.


3. If you also use IdentityClients (for internal HTTP calls)

For services that call others via IdentityModel (client credentials), ensure their IdentityClients:Default:Authority also points to the same HTTPS URL:

"IdentityClients": {
  "Default": {
    "Authority": "https://auth.routilia.com",
    "ClientId": "YourClient",
    "ClientSecret": "YourSecret",
    "GrantType": "client_credentials",
    "Scope": "YourScope"
  }
}

Once:

  • AuthServer issuer (SetIssuer) = https://auth.routilia.com/
  • All APIs’ Authority and ValidIssuers include https://auth.routilia.com/

the invalid_token / “issuer is invalid” error will disappear.

  1. Solution

That log means the API that validates the token has no issuer configured in its TokenValidationParameters, so it can’t match the iss in the token.
This is common when running behind Kubernetes / reverse proxy.

Configure JWT bearer explicitly in the service where the error happens (web app, gateway, microservice, etc.), and set ValidIssuers to your AuthServer authority (the public URL that issues the token).

Example (in the API / gateway project):

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Volo.Abp;
using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

public class YourApiModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

        context.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
            .AddAbpJwtBearer(options =>
            {
                options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]; // e.g. "https://your-authserver.yourdomain.com"
                options.Audience = "YourServiceName"; // must match 'aud' in token

                options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
                {
                    // Fixes: IDX10204: Unable to validate issuer...
                    ValidIssuers = new[]
                    {
                        configuration["AuthServer:Authority"].EnsureEndsWith('/')
                    }
                };
            });
    }
}

Key points:

  • AuthServer:Authority must be the public URL of the AuthServer that issues the token (for example: https://auth.yourdomain.com/), and you must use the same value in:
    • The AuthServer configuration (OpenIddict issuer).
    • The clients (Angular app, web app, gateways, microservices).
  • Make sure it ends with / (issuer in tokens generated by OpenIddict normally does).
  • If you still get issuer-related issues under K8s because the AuthServer can’t download keys / metadata properly, you can additionally customize token validation like in the support ticket:
context.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddAbpJwtBearer(options =>
    {
        options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"];
        options.Audience = "YourServiceName";

        options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
        {
            ValidIssuers = new[]
            {
                configuration["AuthServer:Authority"].EnsureEndsWith('/')
            },

            // Optional workaround when keys cannot be resolved in K8s:
            SignatureValidator = (token, parameters) =>
            {
                var jwt = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens.JsonWebToken(token);
                return jwt;
            }
        };
    });

Also verify on the AuthServer side (OpenIddict):

PreConfigure<OpenIddictServerBuilder>(builder =>
{
    var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();
    builder.SetIssuer(new Uri(configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]));
});

So the issuer in the token and the authority / valid issuer in your APIs are identical.
