Based on your description and the official ABP documentation for React Native integration, here are the key points and steps to ensure successful authentication and token handling in a tiered ABP project with React Native:

1. Localhost vs Emulator IPs:

   • For Android emulators, 10.0.2.2 is used to access the host machine's localhost.
   • All backend URLs (API, AuthServer, issuer, etc.) in both your backend configuration and your React Native Environment.ts must consistently use 10.0.2.2 and the correct ports.

2. Redirect URI Consistency:

   • The redirect_uri registered in your OpenIddict client configuration (in the database and appsettings) must exactly match the one used in your React Native app (exp://10.0.2.2:19000).
   • Any mismatch (e.g., using your device's real IP or localhost instead of 10.0.2.2) will cause the authentication to fail or not complete properly.

3. OpenIddict HTTPS Restriction:

   • During development, disable HTTPS-only restrictions in OpenIddict, as emulators and physical devices may not trust self-signed certificates.

4. CORS and Allowed Redirects:

   • Ensure that all possible origins and redirect URIs (exp://10.0.2.2:19000, etc.) are included in your CORS and OpenIddict allowed redirect URIs.

5. React Native App URL:

   • The appUrl in your Environment.ts should match the redirect URI used in the OAuth flow.

6. Token Handling in React Native:

   • After a successful login, ensure your React Native app is correctly handling the OAuth redirect and extracting the authorization code or token from the URL.
   • If the app returns to the login screen after authentication, it may not be storing or using the access token properly. Double-check your authentication callback handling.

7. Debugging Tips:

   • Use logging in your React Native app to verify that the authentication callback is received and that tokens are being stored.
   • Check the network traffic to ensure the token exchange is happening as expected.

8. Common Pitfall:

   • If the AuthServer logs show a successful authorization response but your app does not recognize the login, the issue is almost always in the React Native app's handling of the OAuth redirect and token storage.

Summary of what to check/fix:

• All URLs (issuer, API, redirect) must use 10.0.2.2 and the correct port.
• The redirect URI in OpenIddict and your app must match exactly.
• Ensure your React Native app is handling the OAuth redirect and storing the access token.
• Disable HTTPS-only in OpenIddict for development.
• All CORS and allowed redirect URIs must be set for 10.0.2.2.

• In ABP Suite, when you create a master-detail (master/child) relationship for MongoDB, the generated code currently mixes two approaches:

  • The master entity gets an ICollection<TChild> property, which is typical for embedding child documents inside the master document (MongoDB's embedded documents pattern).
  • At the same time, the Suite generates a separate repository, Mongo collection, and application service for the child entity, which is the reference pattern (storing children in a separate collection and referencing them from the master).

• As of now, ABP Suite does not automatically synchronize or populate the internal child collection within the master entity when using the reference pattern. The infrastructure for both approaches is generated, but only the reference pattern (separate collection) is fully supported and functional.

• To avoid confusion and potential data inconsistency, you should rely on the reference pattern: manage child entities via their own repository and collection, and do not use the ICollection<TChild> property on the master entity for MongoDB projects unless you plan to implement embedded documents yourself.

• It is recommended to remove the ICollection<TChild> property from the master entity in your domain model for MongoDB projects, unless you specifically want to use embedded documents and handle all related logic manually.

• The current behavior is a known limitation, and the recommended approach is to use only one pattern (reference) for MongoDB master-detail relationships in ABP Suite.

• The error Volo.Abp.AbpInitializationException with the message "Unexpected end of expression" during the initialization of Volo.Abp.AuditLogging.AbpAuditLoggingApplicationModule after upgrading to ABP 9.3.1 is likely related to a breaking change or misconfiguration introduced in the upgrade.

To resolve this:

1. Check the ABP 9.3 Migration Guide
   Review the official migration guide for ABP 9.3, as there are breaking changes and required updates for some modules:

   • https://abp.io/docs/9.3/release-info/migration-guides/abp-9-3

2. Audit Logging Module Configuration
   If you have custom configuration for the Audit Logging module (e.g., in appsettings.json or via code), ensure that all expressions, especially those using ABP's expression syntax (like filtering or selectors), are complete and valid. An "Unexpected end of expression" usually means a configuration value is incomplete or malformed.

3. Check for Expression-Based Settings
   Look for any settings like EntityHistory.Selectors, AuditLog.Selectors, or similar in your configuration files. Make sure all expressions are properly closed and syntactically correct.

4. Compare with a Fresh 9.3.1 Solution
   Generate a new ABP 9.3.1 Blazor Server solution and compare the appsettings.json and module configuration with your project to spot any differences.

5. Review Recent Changes
   If you have recently customized the Audit Logging module or related configuration, revert or comment out those changes to isolate the issue.

6. Consult the Audit Logging Module Docs
   Review the latest documentation for the Audit Logging module to ensure your configuration matches the expected format:

   • https://abp.io/docs/latest/modules/audit-logging

If you identify a specific configuration or expression causing the issue, correct it to resolve the startup error.

1. Forwarding External Claims to JWT (Without Persisting in DB)

To forward external provider claims (like national identity number, date of birth) into the JWT issued to the Angular client, without persisting them in the database, you need to inject these claims at the token creation stage. The recommended ABP approach is to use a custom IAbpClaimsPrincipalContributor or override the claims principal creation logic, but you must ensure these claims are available at the time the JWT is generated.

However, since the external cookie is not available in the Angular app (due to different domain/port), you should transfer the required claims from the external identity to the local identity during the external login callback (OnGetExternalLoginCallbackAsync in LoginModel). You can do this by:

• Reading the external claims from the external login info.
• Adding the required claims to the ClaimsPrincipal that will be used to generate the JWT (but not persisting them in the user database).
• Use IAbpClaimsPrincipalContributor to add these claims at runtime, but only if you can access them (e.g., via TempData, session, or a custom mechanism during the login flow).

Example (in LoginModel.OnGetExternalLoginCallbackAsync):

var externalLoginInfo = await SignInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
var nationalId = externalLoginInfo.Principal.FindFirst("national_identity_number")?.Value;
// Store in a temp location (e.g., ClaimsPrincipal, session, or custom claim)
var claims = new List<Claim>();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nationalId))
{
    claims.Add(new Claim("national_identity_number", nationalId));
}
// Pass these claims to the ClaimsPrincipal used for JWT generation

You must ensure these claims are added to the ClaimsPrincipal before the JWT is created. Do not persist them in the database if you want to avoid storage.

2. Tagging Authentication Method in JWT

To distinguish between BankID and local login, add a custom claim (e.g., "auth_method": "bankid" or "local") to the ClaimsPrincipal during the login process. This can be done in the same place as above (external login callback or in a custom IAbpClaimsPrincipalContributor).

Example:

claims.Add(new Claim("auth_method", "bankid")); // or "local"

This claim will then be included in the JWT and available to your Angular app and API logic.

Key Points:

• Claims must be present in the ClaimsPrincipal at the time the JWT is generated.
• Use the external login callback to transfer claims from the external provider to the local identity.
• Do not persist sensitive claims in the database; just add them to the ClaimsPrincipal for the current session/token.
• For tagging authentication type, always add a custom claim during login.

If you need to customize the OpenIddict token creation pipeline for more advanced scenarios, you can implement a custom grant type or event handler to inject claims at token issuance.

Currently, ABP Suite does not provide an option to select DateTimeOffset as a property type in the property type dropdown when generating entities or CRUD pages. Only types like DateTime, DateOnly, and others are available.

If you need to use DateTimeOffset, you will have to manually update the generated C# code after using ABP Suite. There is no built-in way in ABP Suite to define a property as DateTimeOffset without editing the code after generation.

For reference on defining properties in ABP Suite:

• You can only choose from the types listed in the dropdown.
• After generation, you can change the property type in your entity, DTOs, and database migration files to DateTimeOffset as needed.

• This is a known issue that can occur with some .NET global tools, including ABP Suite, due to false positives in antivirus software like Windows Defender. The ABP Suite tool and its DLLs are safe and do not contain malware. The detection is a false positive.

• To resolve this:

  1. Update Windows Defender to the latest virus definitions. Microsoft frequently updates their definitions to reduce false positives.
  2. Restore the quarantined file from Windows Defender's quarantine area.
  3. Add the ABP Suite installation directory (typically %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools) to the Windows Defender exclusion list.
  4. Reinstall ABP Suite if needed:

dotnet tool uninstall --global volo.abp.suite
     dotnet tool install --global volo.abp.suite

• If the issue persists, you can report the false positive to Microsoft via the Windows Security app or their official submission portal.

To implement tenant impersonation directly from your dashboard in an ABP Blazor Server application (v8.3.4), you should use the impersonation APIs provided by the ABP Account module. The impersonation feature allows you to impersonate a tenant or user, and the same backend logic is used by the SaaS module's tenant list.

Here's how you can trigger tenant impersonation from your own UI:

1. Ensure Permissions:

   • The current user must have the required permissions: AbpIdentity.Users.Impersonation for user impersonation and Saas.Tenants.Impersonation for tenant impersonation.

2. Use the Impersonation API:

   • The Account module exposes endpoints for impersonation. You can call these endpoints from your dashboard.
   • For tenant impersonation, use:

POST /api/account/impersonation/tenant

 with a payload like:

{
       "tenantId": "GUID of the tenant"
     }

• For user impersonation:

POST /api/account/impersonation/user

 with a payload like:

{
       "userId": "GUID of the user",
       "tenantId": "GUID of the tenant (optional, for host users)"
     }

3. Open the Impersonation Dialog:

   • To replicate the pop-up behavior, you can create a modal dialog in your Blazor dashboard that collects the username (or user selection) and then calls the impersonation API.
   • After a successful API call, the backend will return a URL for impersonation. Redirect the browser to this URL to complete the impersonation process.

4. Example: Blazor Button to Impersonate Tenant

@inject HttpClient Http
   @code {
       async Task ImpersonateTenant(Guid tenantId)
       {
           var response = await Http.PostAsJsonAsync("/api/account/impersonation/tenant", new { tenantId });
           if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
           {
               var result = await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<ImpersonateResultDto>();
               NavigationManager.NavigateTo(result.ImpersonationUrl, forceLoad: true);
           }
       }
   }

5. UI/UX:
   • You can use a Blazor modal dialog to prompt for the username or user selection, then call the appropriate API as above.

This approach gives you the same impersonation behavior as the SaaS module, but triggered from your own dashboard.

This is a known issue when using ABP v9.3.1 with MySQL after upgrading from v9.2.3, specifically when creating an Organization Unit. The stack trace shows a NullReferenceException in the MySQL EF Core provider, related to string comparison/collation handling in queries.

Cause

• The ABP Identity module (OrganizationUnit) uses string comparison methods (like StartsWith, Contains, etc.) in its queries.
• In v9.3.1, changes in ABP or the MySQL EF Core provider (Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql or MySql.EntityFrameworkCore) can cause a NullReferenceException if the database or provider is not configured with the correct collation or charset, or if the provider has a bug in its string comparison translation.

Solution / Workarounds

1. Update MySQL EF Core Provider

   • Ensure you are using the latest compatible version of your MySQL EF Core provider (e.g., Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql or MySql.EntityFrameworkCore).
   • Check the ABP documentation for the recommended provider and version for v9.3.1.

2. Check Database Collation

   • Make sure your MySQL database and tables use a supported collation (e.g., utf8mb4_general_ci or utf8mb4_unicode_ci).
   • Avoid mixing collations or charsets.

3. Review Connection String

   • Add or update the CharSet and Collation in your connection string, for example:

Server=localhost;Database=YourDb;User=xxx;Password=xxx;CharSet=utf8mb4;Collation=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

4. Check for ABP/EF Core Breaking Changes

   • Review the ABP and EF Core release notes for any breaking changes related to string comparison or MySQL support.

5. Downgrade as a Temporary Fix

   • If urgent, you can temporarily downgrade to v9.2.3 until a fix or patch is available.

6. Report to ABP Support

   • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, report it to ABP support with your stack trace and provider version.

Sources:

• ABP Suite CRUD Generator: startIndex must be non-negative

This issue is related to the MySQL provider's handling of string comparison in EF Core queries. Upgrading the provider or adjusting your database collation usually resolves it.

• In ABP, lockout settings such as "Max failed access attempts" are managed via the Identity module and can be set per tenant. If tenant users are still using the default value (5) instead of your configured value (6), it is likely because the setting was only changed for the host, not for the tenant.

• Each tenant has its own settings scope. Changing the lockout settings as the host only affects host users. To apply the new lockout value to tenant users, you must log in as the tenant admin, go to the Settings > Identity Management > Lockout settings page, and set the value for that tenant.

• If you want to enforce the same lockout policy for all tenants, you can:

  1. Set the default value in your custom SettingDefinitionProvider.
  2. Use the "Set for all tenants" feature (if available in your ABP version).
  3. Programmatically update the setting for all tenants using the ISettingManager service.

• Summary: Update the lockout settings for each tenant individually, or set the default value globally in code to ensure all tenants use the same configuration.

This approach aligns with common ABP conventions, but specific official documentation for this exact scenario is not available.

To resolve the 400 response code for logout after upgrading to ABP 9.1.1, you need to ensure that the exact post_logout_redirect_uri (including port) used in the logout request is registered in your OpenIddict application's configuration.

In ABP 9.x (and recent OpenIddict versions), the post_logout_redirect_uri must match exactly (including scheme, host, and port) with one of the URIs registered for the client application. Registering only http://127.0.0.1 is not sufficient if your application uses random ports (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:31270/).

Solution:

1. Register all possible redirect URIs with the port your desktop app uses, or use a wildcard if supported (OpenIddict does not support wildcards for security reasons).
2. If your app uses random ports, you must pre-register each possible port, or use a fixed port for the redirect URI.

How to Register Multiple Redirect URIs:

• In your OpenIddict client configuration (typically in OpenIddictDataSeedContributor.cs), add each allowed post logout redirect URI:

builder.WithPostLogoutRedirectUris(
      "http://127.0.0.1:31270/",
      "http://127.0.0.1:31271/",
      // Add all ports your app may use
  );

• Alternatively, configure your desktop app to use a fixed port and register only that URI.

References:

• ABP OpenIddict: Post Logout Redirect URIs
• OpenIddictDataSeedContributor.cs Example

This strict matching is a security requirement in recent OpenIddict versions and is enforced by ABP 9.x. Adjust your client registration or application logic accordingly to resolve the 400 error.
