  To implement a privacy-focused, tenant-aware registration and login flow in ABP Framework (v9.3, MVC, non-tiered), you can use the following approach:

  Registration:

  • Do not expose the tenant list on the registration page.
  • Generate tenant-specific registration links (e.g., https://yourapp.com/account/register?tenant=tenant-identifier) and send them to users via email or other secure channels.
  • On the registration page, extract the tenant identifier from the query string and set the current tenant context accordingly. This ensures the user is registered under the correct tenant without exposing tenant information publicly.

  Login:

  • On the login page, do not display a tenant selector.
  • When a user submits their credentials, implement a custom login logic that:
    1. Iterates through all tenants.
    2. For each tenant, switches the tenant context and attempts to find a user with the provided email/username.
    3. If a user is found, validate the password.
    4. If the credentials are valid for only one tenant, log the user in under that tenant.
    5. If the credentials are valid for multiple tenants, prompt the user to select which tenant to log into (e.g., show a list of tenant names or masked identifiers).
    6. If no match is found, return a generic login failure message.

  Implementation Example (Custom LoginModel):

  public class CustomLoginModel : LoginModel
  {
      private readonly ITenantRepository _tenantRepository;
  
      public CustomLoginModel(
          IAuthenticationSchemeProvider schemeProvider,
          IOptions<AbpAccountOptions> accountOptions,
          IOptions<IdentityOptions> identityOptions,
          ITenantRepository tenantRepository,
          IdentityDynamicClaimsPrincipalContributorCache contributorCache)
          : base(schemeProvider, accountOptions, identityOptions, contributorCache)
      {
          _tenantRepository = tenantRepository;
      }
  
      public override async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync(string action)
      {
          var matchingTenants = new List<(Guid? TenantId, IdentityUser User)>();
  
          foreach (var tenant in await _tenantRepository.GetListAsync())
          {
              using (CurrentTenant.Change(tenant.Id))
              {
                  var user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(LoginInput.UserNameOrEmailAddress) ??
                             await UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(LoginInput.UserNameOrEmailAddress);
  
                  if (user != null && await UserManager.CheckPasswordAsync(user, LoginInput.Password))
                  {
                      matchingTenants.Add((tenant.Id, user));
                  }
              }
          }
  
          if (matchingTenants.Count == 1)
          {
              using (CurrentTenant.Change(matchingTenants[0].TenantId))
              {
                  return await base.OnPostAsync(action);
              }
          }
          else if (matchingTenants.Count > 1)
          {
              // Prompt user to select tenant (implement UI to show options)
              // Store matchingTenants in TempData or session for next step
              // Redirect to a tenant selection page
              return RedirectToPage("./SelectTenant", new { /* pass necessary info */ });
          }
  
          // No match found
          ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Invalid login attempt.");
          return Page();
      }
  }
  

  Notes:

  • For registration, ensure the tenant context is set before creating the user.
  • For login, you may want to cache tenant-user lookups for performance if you have many tenants.
  • If you allow the same email in multiple tenants, always prompt for tenant selection on ambiguous matches.

  hi

  , send the user a link with the tenant embedded.

  Iterate through all tenants to check whether the email exists in any tenant.

  If you have tenant info in your URL, then you don't need to check all tenants.

  Just add a new tenant resolver, and it will work.

  Thanks.

  no, only registration has the the tenant info:

  Registration: Always start with a link that contains tenant info. For example, send the user a link with the tenant embedded.

  the login page doesn't have the tenant info:

  Login: Iterate through all tenants to check whether the email exists in any tenant. If a matching username/email + password combination is found in a tenant, log the user in.

  hi

  send the user a link with the tenant embedded.

  Can you share an example URL?

  You can hide/remove tenant selection from the login page, but you still have tenant information.

  eg: tenant1.abp.io/account/login

  There will be no tenant selection, but the current tenant is tenant1

  Thanks.

  I know, but we can't do that, the link will be just: abp.io/account/login

  hi

  In this case. You need to verify the user's email/password across all tenants.

  The email should be unique among all tenants. Selecting a tenant is not a good choice.

  See how to remove tenant selection https://abp.io/support/questions/9755/Hide-Tenant-Selection-in-the-login-screen-MVC#answer-3a1ba8eb-6548-b7f8-8c78-6eda8c4087b0

  -- how to update so that the email will be unique?
