  1. Solution
  • What happens by default:

    • NavigationManager.NavigateToLogout(...) signs the user out from your ABP/OpenIddict server and clears the local app session (Blazor WASM/MAUI). It does not automatically sign out from Microsoft Entra ID. After logout, when users start login again, Entra can silently re-authenticate using its active session, so they get back in without picking an account.
  • Why: OIDC single logout is a separate step. To sign out of the external Identity Provider (Microsoft Entra), the client must call the Entra “end session” (sign-out) endpoint with appropriate parameters. ABP/OpenIddict doesn’t automatically perform an upstream IdP logout. Some IdPs also restrict third-party initiated sign-outs.

  • What to do:

    1. If you want to also sign out from Microsoft Entra:

      • Redirect the user to Entra’s sign-out URL after your app logout completes. Microsoft Entra supports front-channel sign-out via its OIDC end-session request.
      • The typical URL pattern (see Microsoft docs) is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri={url-encoded-callback}
      • Steps:
        • Complete app logout first (NavigateToLogout).
        • On the logout callback (Blazor WASM’s /authentication/logout-callback page), navigate to the Entra logout URL above, passing post_logout_redirect_uri back to your app’s public URL (e.g., https://yourapp/authentication/login or a public landing page).
        • After Entra clears the session, user is redirected to your post_logout_redirect_uri. Make sure that URI is registered as a logout redirect in your Entra app registration.
      • Note: If you use multiple tenants or the common endpoint, adjust {tenant} accordingly.

      Example (Blazor WASM override of the Authentication page):

// MyAuthentication.razor
     @using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication
     @using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection
     @inherits Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.LeptonXTheme.Pages.Authentication
     @attribute [ExposeServices(typeof(Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.LeptonXTheme.Pages.Authentication))]
     @attribute [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
     <RemoteAuthenticatorView Action="@Action" />

     // MyAuthentication.razor.cs
     public partial class MyAuthentication
     {
         protected override void OnInitialized()
         {
             if (Action == "logout-callback")
             {
                 // 1) After app logout completes, sign out from Entra too:
                 var postLogout = Uri.EscapeDataString(NavigationManager.BaseUri.TrimEnd('/')); // e.g. https://yourapp/
                 var tenant = "your-tenant-id-or-common";
                 var entraLogout = $"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri={postLogout}";

                 NavigationManager.NavigateTo(entraLogout, forceLoad: true);
                 return;
             }
         }
     }
 Important:
 - Ensure post_logout_redirect_uri is configured in your Entra app registration.
 - Use a fully qualified HTTPS URL.
 - If you want to send users back to login immediately, set post_logout_redirect_uri to your app root (which is [Authorize] protected) or to /authentication/login.
  1. If you cannot or do not want to sign out from Entra (e.g., organizational policy):
    • Force account selection on next login by adding prompt=select_account to the authorization request so users can choose a different Entra account even if a session exists.
    • In Blazor WASM AddOidcAuthentication, you can append query parameters to the authorization endpoint via ProviderOptions.AdditionalProviderParameters:
builder.Services.AddOidcAuthentication(options =>
       {
           builder.Configuration.Bind("AuthServer", options.ProviderOptions);
           options.ProviderOptions.AdditionalProviderParameters.Add("prompt", "select_account");
       });
 - This does not sign out Entra but prevents silent re-login.
  1. For MAUI (if using an embedded OIDC client like IdentityModel.OidcClient):
    • After your app logout, also navigate to the Entra logout URL using a browser (via WebAuthenticator or Launcher) with post_logout_redirect_uri back to your custom scheme (if applicable), or a neutral page.
    • Ensure your redirect URI/scheme is registered in Entra and in your platform handlers.
  • Known ABP notes:
    • ABP/OpenIddict handles app-side logout (/account/logout or /authentication/logout and callback) but doesn’t automatically trigger upstream IdP logout. This behavior is consistent with OIDC norms and prior ABP support answers.

  1. Solution
  • Use the correct module name and latest version that contains the fix. For LeptonX, do not append “.Pro”. Run:
    • abp get-source Volo.Abp.LeptonXTheme --version 4.2.2
  • If you specifically need 3.3.4: that feed no longer serves LeptonX source via get-source due to backend changes. Use a supported version instead. 4.2.2 (or later) is confirmed to work for LeptonX.
  • If you need the Angular packages’ source (beyond volo-lepton-x), add them explicitly with source:
    • abp add-package @volo/abp.ng.lepton-x.core --with-source-code
    • abp add-package @volo/ngx-lepton-x.core --with-source-code
    • abp add-package @volosoft/abp.ng.theme.lepton-x --with-source-code
  • If any add-package or get-source returns AbpStudioException/HTTP 500, it’s a transient server-side package listing issue. Retry targeting a known-good version (e.g., 4.2.2) or one version earlier (e.g., 4.2.1) and then upgrade.
  • Ensure you are authenticated with an active ABP Commercial license in the CLI (abp login) before downloading commercial sources.
  • Update the CLI to the latest:
    • dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli
  • Summary of working commands:
    • abp login
    • dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli
    • abp get-source Volo.Abp.LeptonXTheme --version 4.2.2
    • abp add-package @volo/abp.ng.lepton-x.core --with-source-code
    • abp add-package @volo/ngx-lepton-x.core --with-source-code

  1. Solution
  • Today, the Angular service proxy generator (abp generate-proxy -t ng) produces services that use constructor injection:
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
  export class BookService {
    apiName = 'Default';

    constructor(private restService: RestService) {}
  }

There is no documented or supported option to configure the generator to use Angular’s inject() function instead of constructor injection in generated proxies. If you want to adopt inject() in your own code, you can still use it in your application services/components that consume the generated proxies, but the generated proxies themselves are not configurable to switch to inject().

  • Recommendation if you need inject() in proxies:
    • Keep using the generated proxies as-is.
    • Optionally wrap a generated proxy in your own thin service that uses inject() and delegates to the proxy, e.g.:
import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';
    import { BookService as GeneratedBookService } from '@proxy/books';

    @Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
    export class BookClient {
      private readonly proxy = inject(GeneratedBookService);

      getList() {
        return this.proxy.getList();
      }
    }
  • Alternatively, after generation you could run a custom codemod in your repo to transform constructors to inject(), but note this is outside ABP’s official tooling and you would re-run it after each proxy regeneration.

  • About the “Tiered (MVC) or Auth Server Separated (Angular): Yes/No” field:

    • “Yes” indicates you are using a separated/tiered setup where the Auth Server (MVC/Razor Pages) is separate from the Angular UI (i.e., the standard “Auth Server Separated (Angular)” deployment).
    • “No” indicates a non-tiered setup (Auth server not separated).
    • The label mentions both “Tiered (MVC)” and “Auth Server Separated (Angular)” because they refer to the same concept from different template perspectives. Selecting “Yes” means “Separated/Tiered”; it does not distinguish MVC vs Angular specifically—just that you use the separated variant.

  1. Solution
  • Root cause

    • Double-encoding of redirect_uri (e.g., https%253A%252F%252F...) typically happens when the ReturnUrl you pass to the Account/Login endpoint is already URL-encoded and then encoded again by the login page/pipeline.
    • In ABP’s OpenIddict flow, the ReturnUrl (which wraps the original /connect/authorize request) must be a plain string. ABP/ASP.NET Core will encode it when constructing links.
  • What to check and fix

    1. Ensure you don’t pre-encode ReturnUrl

      • When redirecting to the Auth Server login page, pass the ReturnUrl value as-is, not encoded.
      • Examples of correct and incorrect use:
        • Correct: https://<auth-server>/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=/connect/authorize?client_id=BlazorServer&redirect_uri=https://localhost:44314/signin-oidc&response_type=code&scope=openid%20profile
        • Incorrect (double-encoded redirect_uri inside ReturnUrl): https://<auth-server>/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2Fconnect%2Fauthorize%3Fclient_id%3DBlazorServer%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Flocalhost%253A44314%252Fsignin-oidc...
      • If you build this URL in your client, remove manual encoding for the entire ReturnUrl. Only the inner query string should be raw; ASP.NET Core will properly encode it on redirect.
    2. Don’t re-wrap or re-encode in custom middleware

      • If you added middleware or custom logic that captures ReturnUrl and re-encodes it, remove that step. Only forward the original ReturnUrl string.
    3. Validate RedirectAllowedUrls on the Auth Server

      • In the Auth Server’s appsettings.json, set App:RedirectAllowedUrls to include your client URLs (Blazor Server, etc.). This prevents OpenIddict from rejecting valid redirects and avoids custom workarounds that often cause double encoding: { "App": { "RedirectAllowedUrls": "https://localhost:44314,https://yourclient.example.com" } }
      • Restart after changes.
    4. Verify client OpenIddict/OIDC handler configuration

      • For Blazor Server (or MVC) clients using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect, do not manually encode redirect_uri. The handler will send it correctly.
      • Ensure CallbackPath/signin-oidc matches the redirect URI registered in the OpenIddict client application.
    5. Quick detection pattern

      • If you see https%253A within the redirect_uri (note “%25” which is the percent sign encoded), your code has encoded an already encoded URL. Fix by removing your first encoding step.
  • Optional safeguard (only if you can’t quickly remove pre-encoding at source)

    • As a temporary mitigation in your Auth Server login action, you could detect and decode once if the redirect_uri contains “%253A”, but this is not recommended as a long-term fix. The correct solution is to stop pre-encoding on the caller side.

  1. Solution
  • What happened
    • The legacy ABP CLI package Volo.Abp.Cli is no longer the actively maintained tool. With ABP v8.2+, a new CLI was introduced and the recommended package is Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli. During today’s nuget.abp.io outage, some tool packages/registration endpoints temporarily returned NotFound, which can surface as “Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package” when dotnet tool resolves metadata.
  • What to do now
    1. Uninstall the old tool (if present): dotnet tool uninstall -g Volo.Abp.Cli
    2. Install the new ABP CLI: dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli This provides the abp command and is the supported path going forward.
    3. If your pipelines or local environment still need the old CLI behavior for older solutions, you can use the new CLI with the --old switch. Examples:
      • Create an older-version solution: abp new Acme.BookStore --version 8.2.0 --old
      • Or explicitly install the old CLI managed by the new one: abp install-old-cli --version 8.0.0
    4. If you still see install/update errors after the outage:
      • Clear any corrupted local NuGet caches: dotnet nuget locals all --clear
      • Ensure nuget.org is reachable and no invalid private feed is forcing resolution to fail (check global NuGet.config in user and machine scope). Remove/disable broken feeds, then retry install.
    5. For CI (Azure DevOps) update the step:
      • Replace: dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli
      • With: dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli
      • Optionally add a cache clear before install to avoid stale metadata after the incident: dotnet nuget locals all --clear

  1. Solution
  • You’re right about DDD: only aggregates should expose invariants and lifecycle of their children. In ABP terms, that usually means:

    • The AggregateRoot has the public API (entity methods) to create/update/remove its child entities.
    • A DomainService (Manager) coordinates rules that don’t naturally fit on a single entity, typically on the aggregate root – not on the child entity itself.
  • Current ABP Suite behavior:

    • ABP Suite can generate a Manager (DomainService) per entity, including child entities in a master–detail model. This may allow direct manipulation of the child outside of the aggregate root, which is not ideal from a strict DDD perspective.
  • Practical, DDD-friendly approach you can implement today (even with Suite output):

    1. Remove the child’s Manager and ApplicationService (or don’t use them).
    2. Keep a single Manager for the AggregateRoot and add operations for child management there.
    3. Encapsulate child operations within the AggregateRoot entity methods where possible. Use the Manager only when rules cross entity boundaries.
    4. Restrict repositories: avoid injecting IRepository<Child, TKey> into application services. Load the AggregateRoot and modify children via AggregateRoot methods.
  • Example Aggregate root with child management methods:

public class Order : AggregateRoot<Guid>
  {
      private readonly List<OrderLine> _lines = new();
      public IReadOnlyCollection<OrderLine> Lines => _lines.AsReadOnly();

      public void AddLine(Guid productId, int quantity, decimal unitPrice)
      {
          if (quantity <= 0) throw new BusinessException("QuantityMustBePositive");
          _lines.Add(new OrderLine(GuidGenerator.Create(), Id, productId, quantity, unitPrice));
      }

      public void UpdateLine(Guid lineId, int quantity, decimal unitPrice)
      {
          var line = _lines.FirstOrDefault(l => l.Id == lineId) ?? throw new BusinessException("LineNotFound");
          line.SetQuantity(quantity);
          line.SetUnitPrice(unitPrice);
      }

      public void RemoveLine(Guid lineId)
      {
          var line = _lines.FirstOrDefault(l => l.Id == lineId) ?? throw new BusinessException("LineNotFound");
          _lines.Remove(line);
      }
  }

  public class OrderManager : DomainService
  {
      // Use when orchestration/rules go beyond a single entity, otherwise prefer entity methods
      public void AddLine(Order order, Guid productId, int quantity, decimal unitPrice)
      {
          // cross-entity checks or policies, then delegate to entity
          order.AddLine(productId, quantity, unitPrice);
      }
  }

Application service using only the aggregate:

public class OrderAppService : ApplicationService
  {
      private readonly IRepository<Order, Guid> _orderRepository;
      private readonly OrderManager _orderManager;

      public OrderAppService(IRepository<Order, Guid> orderRepository, OrderManager orderManager)
      {
          _orderRepository = orderRepository;
          _orderManager = orderManager;
      }

      public async Task AddLineAsync(Guid orderId, Guid productId, int quantity, decimal unitPrice)
      {
          var order = await _orderRepository.GetAsync(orderId);
          _orderManager.AddLine(order, productId, quantity, unitPrice);
          await _orderRepository.UpdateAsync(order, autoSave: true);
      }
  }
  • What to request for ABP Suite

    • Add an option in the master–detail wizard: “Generate child DomainService/ApplicationService: Yes/No”.
    • If “No”, generate:
      • No Manager for child entity.
      • Methods for child CRUD inside the master Manager (and optionally inside the AggregateRoot as entity methods).
      • Application service methods that operate on the master aggregate only.
    • If “Yes”, keep current behavior for teams that prefer looser aggregate boundaries.
  • Workaround to align current Suite output with DDD:

    • Delete child Manager and AppService classes and their DI registrations.
    • Remove child permissions and routes if generated for direct CRUD.
    • Move child CRUD endpoints under the master AppService (e.g., OrderAppService.AddLineAsync).
    • Ensure repositories for child entities are not injected into external services. Only the master repository should be used.

  1. Solution
  • Current status and recommendation:

    • ABP entities are commonly defined as public in templates and tools because EF Core, mapping, design-time tooling, and cross-layer usage frequently require public visibility. The official docs and templates do not mandate internal for entities, and many framework base classes (e.g., AuditedEntity) are public.
    • Where stricter encapsulation is desired, you can still keep the domain model internal to the domain layer and expose only DTOs via the application layer. However, making entity classes internal can break EF Core proxies, design-time tools, or cross-assembly usage unless you configure internals visibility.
  • Practical options you can apply today:

    1. Keep entities public and encapsulate behavior via aggregates, domain services, and factories. Do not expose entities from the application layer; expose DTOs only.
    2. If you insist on internal domain entities:
      • Place your DbContext and entities in the same domain (or domain EFCore) assembly so EF Core can access the types.
      • If your DbContext is in another assembly, add InternalsVisibleTo for the consuming assembly (and optionally for EF Core proxies):
// In your Domain project (AssemblyInfo.cs or at top of a .cs file)
       using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

       [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("YourProjectName.EntityFrameworkCore")]
       [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("DynamicProxyGenAssembly2")] // if using dynamic proxies (e.g., for mocking)
 - Avoid exposing entities across layers. Continue to expose DTOs in the Application layer and map using ObjectMapper in the same assembly that can see internals.
  • About ABP Suite default generation:

    • Suite generates public entities by default. If you want internal, change the access modifier after generation or customize your Suite template to emit internal for entity classes.
    • Be aware that switching to internal may require InternalsVisibleTo as shown above and co-locating DbContext and entity types.
  • Related ABP guidance you can leverage:

    • If you need custom entity key patterns or to avoid the conventional Id property and still use repositories and CRUD app services, prefer AbstractKeyCrudAppService over CrudAppService when your entity doesn’t use the default Id pattern:
public class MyAppService :
        AbstractKeyCrudAppService<
            MyEntity,        // entity
            MyEntityDto,     // dto
            MyKeyType,       // key type
            PagedAndSortedResultRequestDto,
            MyCreateUpdateDto
        >, IMyAppService
    {
        public MyAppService(IRepository<MyEntity, MyKeyType> repo) : base(repo) { }
    }
For entities without the conventional Id property, override GetKeys() in your entity:
public class MyEntity : AuditedEntity
    {
        public Guid MyEntityId { get; set; }

        public override object[] GetKeys() => new object[] { MyEntityId };
    }

  1. Solution
  • Use EF Core ChangeTracker inside a domain event handler (or a SaveChanges interceptor) to read original values. ABP’s EntityUpdatedEventData<T> doesn’t carry old values by design, but you can access EF Core’s OriginalValues and compare.
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
  using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ChangeTracking;
  using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities.Events;
  using Volo.Abp.EventBus.Local;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

  public class IdentityUserUpdatedHandler :
      ILocalEventHandler<EntityUpdatedEventData<IdentityUser>>
  {
      private readonly IDbContextProvider<IIdentityDbContext> _dbContextProvider; // or your unified DbContext provider

      public IdentityUserUpdatedHandler(IDbContextProvider<IIdentityDbContext> dbContextProvider)
      {
          _dbContextProvider = dbContextProvider;
      }

      public async Task HandleEventAsync(EntityUpdatedEventData<IdentityUser> eventData)
      {
          // Ensure we are in the same UoW/DbContext where the change is tracked
          var dbContext = await _dbContextProvider.GetDbContextAsync();

          // Get the tracked Entry for this entity
          var entry = dbContext.Entry(eventData.Entity);
          if (entry.State != EntityState.Modified)
          {
              // Not tracked or not modified in this context
              return;
          }

          // Read original and current values
          var originalName = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
          var currentName  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();

          var originalSurname = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();
          var currentSurname  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();

          var nameChanged = !string.Equals(originalName, currentName, StringComparison.Ordinal);
          var surnameChanged = !string.Equals(originalSurname, currentSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal);

          if (nameChanged || surnameChanged)
          {
              // Your logic here (publish another event, call a service, etc.)
          }
      }
  }

Notes:

  • Inject the IDbContextProvider for the DbContext that tracks IdentityUser (e.g., your unified AppDbContext if you call builder.ConfigureIdentity()).

  • This handler must run within the same Unit of Work as the update so the Entry has OriginalValues. ABP’s auto entity events are published in the same UoW as of v5+, so this works when your update happens via repositories/UoW.

  • Alternative: EF Core SaveChanges interceptor If you prefer not to rely on the local event to get original values, you can implement an interceptor that always has access to ChangeTracker before saving:

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
  using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

  public class UserNameChangeInterceptor : SaveChangesInterceptor
  {
      public override InterceptionResult<int> SavingChanges(DbContextEventData eventData, InterceptionResult<int> result)
      {
          var context = eventData.Context;
          if (context == null) return base.SavingChanges(eventData, result);

          foreach (var entry in context.ChangeTracker.Entries<IdentityUser>().Where(e => e.State == EntityState.Modified))
          {
              var originalName = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
              var currentName  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
              var originalSurname = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();
              var currentSurname  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();

              if (!string.Equals(originalName, currentName, StringComparison.Ordinal) ||
                  !string.Equals(originalSurname, currentSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal))
              {
                  // Your logic here
              }
          }

          return base.SavingChanges(eventData, result);
      }
  }

Register the interceptor in your DbContextOptions during module ConfigureServices.

  • Why not use audit logs? ABP’s audit logging can record entity change sets including old/new property values, but it’s intended for logging. If you need runtime logic when Name/Surname changes, the ChangeTracker approach is the correct, supported way.

  1. Solution
  • Root cause: When using the distributed event bus (RabbitMQ), the handler runs in a background consumer without an HTTP scope, so there is no ambient tenant set automatically. IdentityUserCreatedEto contains TenantId; you must set the tenant context for the duration of your handler to resolve tenant-scoped services/settings correctly.

  • Quick fix (wrap the handler body in ICurrentTenant.Change):

using Volo.Abp.MultiTenancy;

  public class AccountIdentityUserCreatedEventHandler :
      IDistributedEventHandler<IdentityUserCreatedEto>,
      ITransientDependency
  {
      protected IdentityUserManager UserManager { get; }
      protected IAccountEmailer AccountEmailer { get; }
      protected ISettingProvider SettingProvider { get; }
      protected ICurrentTenant CurrentTenant { get; }

      public AccountIdentityUserCreatedEventHandler(
          IdentityUserManager userManager,
          IAccountEmailer accountEmailer,
          ISettingProvider settingProvider,
          ICurrentTenant currentTenant)
      {
          UserManager = userManager;
          AccountEmailer = accountEmailer;
          SettingProvider = settingProvider;
          CurrentTenant = currentTenant;
      }

      public async Task HandleEventAsync(IdentityUserCreatedEto eventData)
      {
          using (CurrentTenant.Change(eventData.TenantId))
          {
              if (eventData.Properties["SendConfirmationEmail"] == true.ToString().ToUpper() &&
                  await SettingProvider.IsTrueAsync(IdentitySettingNames.SignIn.RequireConfirmedEmail))
              {
                  var user = await UserManager.GetByIdAsync(eventData.Id);
                  var confirmationToken = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user);
                  await AccountEmailer.SendEmailConfirmationLinkAsync(
                      user,
                      confirmationToken,
                      eventData.Properties.GetOrDefault("AppName") ?? "MVC"
                  );
              }
          }
      }
  }
  • This ensures SettingProvider (and any tenant-scoped logic like repositories, feature checks, etc.) work under the correct tenant.

  • If you need host-level settings for some reason, wrap only the required code block with Change(null).

  • Notes:

    • In-memory distributed bus handlers run in-process and may inherit the ambient tenant from the publisher scope; RabbitMQ consumers don’t, so you must explicitly set it.
    • IdentityUserCreatedEto includes TenantId; rely on it to set the tenant scope before accessing tenant-scoped services.

Answer
  1. Solution You have three reliable ways to run custom logic specifically when an admin updates a user via PUT api/identity/users/{id} and also compare old vs. new values (e.g., Surname changes):

A) Override the IdentityUserAppService UpdateAsync (best if you only need to affect this specific endpoint)

  • Create your own application service deriving from IdentityUserAppService and replace the service via dependency injection.
  • Read the existing user first, keep a snapshot, call base.UpdateAsync (or replicate the logic), then compare and run your custom code.
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
using Volo.Abp.Identity;
using Volo.Abp.Users;

[Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
public class MyIdentityUserAppService : IdentityUserAppService
{
    public MyIdentityUserAppService(
        IdentityUserManager userManager,
        IIdentityUserRepository userRepository,
        IIdentityRoleRepository roleRepository)
        : base(userManager, userRepository, roleRepository)
    {
    }

    public override async Task<IdentityUserDto> UpdateAsync(Guid id, IdentityUserUpdateDto input)
    {
        // Load current (old) values
        var oldUser = await UserRepository.GetAsync(id);
        var oldSurname = oldUser.Surname;
        var oldEmail = oldUser.Email;

        // Call the default update pipeline
        var result = await base.UpdateAsync(id, input);

        // Compare with new values
        var newSurname = result.Surname;
        var newEmail = result.Email;

        if (!string.Equals(oldSurname, newSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal))
        {
            // Your logic when surname changed
            // e.g., publish a distributed event, call an external service, etc.
        }

        if (!string.Equals(oldEmail, newEmail, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            // Your logic when email changed
        }

        return result;
    }
}
  • Registering with [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)] ensures your app service is used for the /api/identity/users/{id} endpoint. This gives you precise control and easy old/new comparison.

B) Override/extend IdentityUserManager (when you want to enforce logic at the domain level)

  • If you need invariant business rules regardless of which app service updates users, customize IdentityUserManager, intercept setters or update methods and implement comparisons there. This is more invasive but centralizes the logic. In ABP 8, IdentityUserManager includes IDistributedEventBus injection to publish events on email/username changes.

C) Use extension to the admin UI and profile UI (if you need UI-driven logic) – not required for backend comparison but helpful when you also need to surface or control fields. For DTO extra properties to flow correctly through built-in services (like profile), ensure module extension mappings are applied to the related DTOs:

public class MyModule : AbpModule
{
    private static readonly OneTimeRunner OneTimeRunner = new OneTimeRunner();

    public override void PostConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        OneTimeRunner.Run(() =>
        {
            ModuleExtensionConfigurationHelper.ApplyEntityConfigurationToApi(
                IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.ModuleName,
                IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.EntityNames.User,
                getApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserDto), typeof(ProfileDto) },
                createApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserCreateDto) },
                updateApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserUpdateDto), typeof(UpdateProfileDto) }
            );
        });
    }
}

Notes about “events get called a lot” and comparing old/new data:

  • Domain/Event handlers like EntityUpdated are broad and can fire from different code paths. If you only care about the admin PUT endpoint, approach A is the most targeted.
  • If you still prefer events, you can load the previous state before the operation in your app service, attach it to the event payload you publish, or include both old and new in a custom distributed event so handlers can compare safely.
  • For specific changes (like email/username), ABP 8 added distributed events from IdentityUserManager so downstream code can know old values. For other fields like Surname, do the old/new comparison yourself in UpdateAsync as shown.
