Automatically Switching Tenant Based on client_id During SSO Authorization #10134


User avatar

LiSong created

I created new applications under OpenID > Applications, and SSO is working correctly. For example, I can sign in to my Next.js application using abp.io accounts.

Now I’d like to update the flow so that when users click the SSO sign-in button from the Next.js application, the abp.io site automatically switches to a specific tenant—for example, the tenant “NextJs”—when the user lands on the /Account/Register page.

I noticed that the Next.js app invokes /connect/authorize?client_id=Next_app. So I’m wondering: can we add server-side logic in abp.io to automatically switch to the “NextJs” tenant when client_id equals Next_app?

Is this a good solution? If so, how should it be implemented? Or is there a better recommended approach for tenant resolution in this case?

    1. Solution
    • Recommended approach: Resolve the tenant using a standard tenant resolver (domain/subdomain, route, header, or query string) instead of deriving it from client_id. ABP’s multi-tenancy pipeline is designed to determine the current tenant before MVC/OpenIddict endpoints run. Tying tenant selection to client_id is brittle (one client may serve multiple tenants; client names can change; it bypasses ABP’s resolvers). Prefer:

      • Subdomain/domain resolver (e.g., https://nextjs.yoursite.com)
      • Route resolver (e.g., https://yoursite.com/nextjs/Account/Register)
      • Query string or header (e.g., __tenant=NextJs)
    • If you still want to implement a client_id-to-tenant mapping: add a custom ITenantResolveContributor that checks the request when OpenIddict’s authorize/login/register endpoints are hit and sets the tenant from a mapping dictionary. Ensure you register it very early in the resolver pipeline and only apply it for the authorize/login/register paths, so you don’t affect other requests.

    Code: Domain/route (recommended)

    • Domain/subdomain resolver:
    // In YourProjectNameHttpApiHostModule (or AuthServer module if separated)
      using Volo.Abp.MultiTenancy;
    
      public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
      {
          var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();
    
          Configure<AbpTenantResolveOptions>(options =>
          {
              // Example: https://{0}.yourdomain.com
              options.AddDomainTenantResolver("{0}.yourdomain.com");
          });
      }
    
    • Route resolver:
      • Add {__tenant} to the Account pages/routes or globally, then the authorize/login flows will carry the tenant in the route and ABP will resolve it automatically. See the community article technique to add a route convention if you want it globally.

    Code: Custom contributor mapping client_id -> tenant (if you must)

    using System.Threading.Tasks;
      using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
      using Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives;
      using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
      using Volo.Abp.MultiTenancy;
    
      public class ClientIdTenantResolveContributor : HttpTenantResolveContributorBase, ITransientDependency
      {
          public const string ContributorName = "ClientIdTenant";
          public override string Name => ContributorName;
    
          protected override Task<string?> GetTenantIdOrNameFromHttpContextOrNullAsync(
              ITenantResolveContext context, HttpContext httpContext)
          {
              // Only act on OIDC endpoints to avoid side effects
              var path = httpContext.Request.Path.Value ?? "";
              if (!path.StartsWith("/connect/authorize") &&
                  !path.StartsWith("/Account/Login") &&
                  !path.StartsWith("/Account/Register"))
              {
                  return Task.FromResult<string?>(null);
              }
    
              // Read client_id from query (OpenIddict authorize request)
              if (httpContext.Request.Query.TryGetValue("client_id", out StringValues clientIds))
              {
                  var clientId = clientIds.ToString();
    
                  // Your mapping: client_id => tenant name
                  // Example: Next_app => "NextJs"
                  var tenantName = MapClientIdToTenantName(clientId);
                  if (!tenantName.IsNullOrWhiteSpace())
                  {
                      return Task.FromResult<string?>(tenantName);
                  }
              }
    
              return Task.FromResult<string?>(null);
          }
    
          private static string? MapClientIdToTenantName(string clientId)
          {
              return clientId switch
              {
                  "Next_app" => "NextJs",
                  // add other mappings here
                  _ => null
              };
          }
      }
    

    Register it early in the pipeline (before others that you want it to override):

    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
      {
          Configure<AbpTenantResolveOptions>(options =>
          {
              // Put it at the beginning if you want it to take precedence
              options.TenantResolvers.Insert(0, new ClientIdTenantResolveContributor());
          });
      }
    
    • Notes and caveats:
      • client_id can be reused by multiple tenants in many deployments; mapping it to a single tenant may force the wrong tenant.
      • If you adopt domain or route resolver, the Account UI will already know the tenant, and OpenIddict authorize will honor it consistently.
      • For Angular/Next.js SPAs, also ensure your frontend sends the tenant via domain or adds __tenant in the query/header automatically. For Angular, navigateToLogin can accept __tenant; for custom Next.js redirects you can include __tenant in the authorize URL if you use query-string tenant resolver.

    hi

    You can pass a __tenant parameter when you log in to your NextJS client.

    &__tenant=NextJs

    eg:

    https://account.abp.io/connect/authorize?client_id=www-web-client&__tenant=NextJs&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fabp.io%2Fsignin-oidc&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=openid%20profile%20roles%20email%20phone%20abpio&response_mode=form_post&nonce=xxxxx&x-client-SKU=ID_NET9_0&x-client-ver=8.14.0.0

    Thanks.
