  1. Solution
  • Regenerate the entity with ABP Suite, then run the test projects in the recommended order (Domain.Tests, Application.Tests, EntityFrameworkCore.Tests, Web/HttpApi.Tests if present). Suite-generated tests rely on the new “abstract tests + EF Core implementation” structure introduced in ABP 10, so ensure your solution reflects that layout.
  • Verify the test project structure and dependencies:
    • Application.Tests: contains abstract tests (no EF Core dependency).
    • Domain.Tests: contains abstract tests (no EF Core dependency).
    • EntityFrameworkCore.Tests: implements concrete test classes inheriting from the abstract tests and depends on the Application.Tests and the EF Core module.
  • Ensure your EFCore test module uses SQLite in-memory by default (what templates expect) unless you intentionally override to PostgreSQL for tests:
    • Keep Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite in MyApp.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests.csproj.
    • In MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule, ensure AbpDbContextOptions uses UseSqlite with an in-memory connection and that migrations are applied in the test initialization when needed.
  • Common fixes for Suite-generated tests failing to compile/run:
    • Missing concrete implementations: For each abstract test in Application.Tests/Domain.Tests (e.g., ProductAppService_Tests<TStartupModule>), ensure a corresponding EfCore test exists in EntityFrameworkCore.Tests:
[Collection(MyAppTestConsts.CollectionDefinitionName)]
    public class EfCore_ProductAppService_Tests 
        : ProductAppService_Tests<MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule>
    {
    }
  • Test collection constants: Ensure a single shared collection definition is used by all test projects:
public static class MyAppTestConsts
    {
        public const string CollectionDefinitionName = "MyApp collection";
    }

    [CollectionDefinition(MyAppTestConsts.CollectionDefinitionName)]
    public class MyAppCollection : ICollectionFixture<MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreFixture>
    {
    }
  • Fixture/Db initialization for EF Core tests: Keep a stable in-memory SQLite for EF tests:
public class MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreFixture : IDisposable
    {
        public SqliteConnection Connection { get; }

        public MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreFixture()
        {
            Connection = new SqliteConnection("Data Source=:memory:");
            Connection.Open();
        }

        public void Dispose() => Connection.Dispose();
    }

    [DependsOn(typeof(MyAppApplicationTestModule), typeof(MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreModule), typeof(AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqliteModule))]
    public class MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule : AbpModule
    {
        public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
        {
            var conn = context.Services.GetRequiredService<MyAppEntityFrameworkCoreFixture>().Connection;
            Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(options =>
            {
                options.Configure(cfg => cfg.DbContextOptions.UseSqlite(conn));
            });
        }
    }
  • Ensure EntityFrameworkCore.Tests project references:
    • MyApp.EntityFrameworkCore
    • MyApp.Application.Tests
    • Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite (package)
  • Ensure Application.Tests project references:
    • MyApp.Application
    • MyApp.TestBase
  • Ensure Domain.Tests project references:
    • MyApp.Domain
    • MyApp.TestBase
  • When using PostgreSQL for production, keep tests with SQLite-in-memory unless you explicitly switch tests to run against PostgreSQL (recommended only if you need provider-specific behavior). If you decide to run tests on PostgreSQL, you must:
    • Provide a connection string dedicated to tests and apply migrations before tests.
    • Replace AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqlite with Npgsql and configure UseNpgsql in the test module accordingly, applying context.Database.Migrate() once per dynamic/random database.
  • Seed data expectations: Suite-generated tests often assume the default admin/user/roles exist. Ensure:
    • TestBase modules seed data in OnApplicationInitializationAsync using the data seed contributors or IIdentityDataSeeder as provided by the template.
    • If your app service tests assume permissions, wrap calls with using (CurrentPrincipal.Change(...)) or use AbpAuthorization test helpers to set required permissions.
  • Run:
    • dotnet restore
    • dotnet build
    • dotnet test test/MyApp.Domain.Tests
    • dotnet test test/MyApp.Application.Tests
    • dotnet test test/MyApp.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests

  1. Solution A 400 at the end of the OpenID Connect login flow in the React Native (Expo) app almost always means one of these is misconfigured for the mobile client in your Auth Server (OpenIddict) and API host:
  • The client registration (redirect URI, post logout redirect URI, allowed grant types)
  • The RedirectAllowedUrls/CorsOrigins on your HttpApi.Host/AuthServer
  • The final callback scheme in the mobile app

Checklist to fix:

  1. Register a dedicated mobile client in your Auth Server (OpenIddict) with Authorization Code + PKCE
  • In your XxxDomain/IdentityServer/IdentityServerDataSeedContributor (or the OpenIddict seeding equivalent in v9) add a mobile client like:
// Mobile (React Native) client
  await CreateClientAsync(
      name: "MyApp_Mobile",
      scopes: new[] { "openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access", "MyService" },
      grantTypes: new[] { "authorization_code" },
      secret: null, // PKCE, public client
      requireClientSecret: false,
      redirectUri: "com.myapp.mobile://callback",
      postLogoutRedirectUri: "com.myapp.mobile://signout-callback",
      corsOrigins: new[] { "https://your-api-host", "https://your-auth-host" }
  );
  • Run DbMigrator (or your data seeder) so the client is created.
  1. Configure RedirectAllowedUrls and CORS on HttpApi.Host (and/or AuthServer)
  • In appsettings.json of your HttpApi.Host (and AuthServer if separated), include your custom scheme callback URI and any dev hosts you use:
"App": {
    "SelfUrl": "https://api.staging.myproject.io",
    "CorsOrigins": "https://*.myproject.io,http://localhost:19006,exp://127.0.0.1:19000",
    "RedirectAllowedUrls": "com.myapp.mobile://callback,com.myapp.mobile://signout-callback"
  },
  "AuthServer": {
    "Authority": "https://auth.staging.myproject.io",
    "RequireHttpsMetadata": "true"
  }
  • Important: The custom scheme URLs (com.myapp.mobile://callback) must be present in RedirectAllowedUrls, otherwise OpenIddict will reject the authorization code redemption with 400.
  1. Make sure your Expo/React Native app uses the same client and redirect URI
  • In the generated React Native app config (AppConfig.ts or env), set:
    • issuer: https://auth.staging.myproject.io
    • clientId: MyApp_Mobile
    • redirectUri: com.myapp.mobile://callback
    • scopes: openid profile email offline_access [and your API scope]
    • use PKCE and no client secret (public client)
  1. Configure native URL scheme on iOS/Android
  • iOS: Add CFBundleURLSchemes including com.myapp.mobile
  • Android: Set the intent filter (or appAuthRedirectScheme if using react-native-app-auth) to com.myapp.mobile
  • Expo: In app.json/app.config, define scheme: "com.myapp.mobile"
  1. Multi-tenancy header (if applicable)
  • If you use multi-tenancy and the mobile user is not in host, ensure the Abp-TenantId or domain-based tenant resolution matches the login you try. Mismatch can also result in unexpected auth errors.
  1. Clear cookies/session and retry
  • A stale session in the in-app browser can cause “Unprotect ticket failed” in logs. Close the in-app browser, revoke the app session, then retry.
  1. Verify SSL/cert trust on simulator/device
  • If the device/simulator does not trust your staging certificate, the token exchange can fail. Ensure full chain is trusted.

Why 400 appears:

  • OpenIddict returns 400 when redirect_uri does not match the registered client, when the client is not allowed for the requested flow, or when PKCE/verification fails. The “Unprotect ticket failed” in your logs indicates an invalid/expired/foreign cookie or state in the front-channel, but the final cause for the mobile error is almost always a redirect URI mismatch or missing RedirectAllowedUrls entry.

Quick minimal set you can copy:

  • Seed client:
await CreateClientAsync(
    name: "MyApp_Mobile",
    scopes: new[] { "openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access", "MyService" },
    grantTypes: new[] { "authorization_code" },
    requireClientSecret: false,
    redirectUri: "com.myapp.mobile://callback",
    postLogoutRedirectUri: "com.myapp.mobile://signout-callback",
    corsOrigins: new[] { "https://auth.staging.myproject.io", "https://api.staging.myproject.io" }
  );
  • HttpApi.Host appsettings.json:
"App": {
    "CorsOrigins": "https://*.myproject.io,http://localhost:19006,exp://127.0.0.1:19000",
    "RedirectAllowedUrls": "com.myapp.mobile://callback,com.myapp.mobile://signout-callback"
  }
  • React Native (Expo) OAuth config:
export const oAuthConfig = {
    issuer: 'https://auth.staging.myproject.io',
    clientId: 'MyApp_Mobile',
    redirectUri: 'com.myapp.mobile://callback',
    scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email', 'offline_access', 'MyService'],
  };

If you apply the above, the React Native login should complete and the token exchange should return 200 with tokens instead of 400.

  1. Solution
  • Goal: Customize the creation flow for Tenants (SaaS module) and Users (Identity module) in ABP (e.g., validate additional inputs, create related domain data, call external systems, or change defaults).

  • Change the Tenant creation flow (SaaS)

    • Option A: Override the application service methods
      • Create a derived app service to intercept Create/Update operations of tenants and register it to replace the default service:
using Volo.Abp;
  using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;
  using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
  using Volo.Saas.Tenants;
  using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;

  [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
  [ExposeServices(typeof(ITenantAppService))]
  public class MyTenantAppService : TenantAppService, ITenantAppService
  {
      public MyTenantAppService(ITenantRepository tenantRepository, ITenantManager tenantManager)
          : base(tenantRepository, tenantManager)
      {
      }

      public override async Task<TenantDto> CreateAsync(TenantCreateDto input)
      {
          // 1) Custom validation
          if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input.Name))
              throw new BusinessException("TenantNameRequired");

          // 2) Pre-processing (e.g., reserve subdomain, call payment API)
          // await _myBillingClient.CreateCustomerAsync(input.Name, ...);

          var result = await base.CreateAsync(input);

          // 3) Post-processing (e.g., seed additional data for the new tenant)
          await SeedForTenantAsync(result.Id);

          return result;
      }

      public override async Task<TenantDto> UpdateAsync(Guid id, TenantUpdateDto input)
      {
          // Custom logic before update
          var updated = await base.UpdateAsync(id, input);
          // Custom logic after update
          return updated;
      }

      private async Task SeedForTenantAsync(Guid tenantId)
      {
          using (CurrentTenant.Change(tenantId))
          {
              // Create default domain aggregates, settings, features, etc.
              // await _myAppService.InitializeDefaultsAsync();
          }
      }
  }
  • Option B: Handle tenant domain events
    • Subscribe to tenant lifecycle events and run your logic without replacing services:
using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
  using Volo.Abp.EventBus;
  using Volo.Saas.Tenants;

  public class TenantCreatedHandler :
      ILocalEventHandler<TenantCreatedEto>, ITransientDependency
  {
      public async Task HandleEventAsync(TenantCreatedEto eventData)
      {
          using (CurrentTenant.Change(eventData.Id))
          {
              // Seed default data, features, etc.
          }
      }
  }
  • Change database provisioning behavior

    • If you need to control connection string creation or custom provisioning, intercept after CreateAsync when you have TenantId and set connection strings (Repository/Manager) then run migrations (or queue them) and seed data in the tenant scope.
  • Change the User creation flow (Identity)

    • Option A: Replace the UserAppService
using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

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

      public override async Task<IdentityUserDto> CreateAsync(IdentityUserCreateDto input)
      {
          // Custom validation (e.g., enforce password policy, email domain checks)
          // if (!input.Email.EndsWith("@mycorp.com")) throw new BusinessException("InvalidEmailDomain");

          var user = await base.CreateAsync(input);

          // Post actions: assign roles/permissions, create related domain data
          // await UserManager.AddToRoleAsync(await UserManager.GetByIdAsync(user.Id), "MyDefaultRole");

          return user;
      }
  }
  • Option B: Use Identity domain events or override the IdentityUserManager
    • Subscribe to user creation events to avoid replacing the app service:
using Volo.Abp.EventBus;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

  public class UserCreatedHandler :
      ILocalEventHandler<IdentityUserCreatedEto>, ITransientDependency
  {
      public async Task HandleEventAsync(IdentityUserCreatedEto eventData)
      {
          using (CurrentTenant.Change(eventData.TenantId))
          {
              // E.g., create a profile aggregate, send welcome mail, assign features based on tenant plan
          }
      }
  }
- Alternatively, derive from IdentityUserManager and override CreateAsync to enforce invariants at the domain layer, then register your manager with ReplaceServices.
  • Validation, permissions, and DTO mapping

    • Apply FluentValidation/ABP validation attributes on your custom input DTOs and let ABP’s validation pipeline run.
    • If you introduce new fields on create, extend the DTOs (using object extension system) so they flow through UI/API, then map in your overridden service.
    • Ensure your custom service keeps ABP permission checks (e.g., IdentityPermissions.Users.Create, SaasPermissions.Tenants.Create) or customize as needed.
  • Multi-tenancy considerations

    • Wrap all tenant-specific post-create logic in using (CurrentTenant.Change(tenantId)).
    • For host-triggered user creation inside a tenant, ensure CurrentTenant is correctly set before calling user APIs.
    • If you remove tenant switch and infer tenant by email/username, resolve tenant early and set CurrentTenant before calling Identity (see examples in the referenced guides).

  1. Solution
  • Goal: Use Keycloak (as the OpenID Connect provider) instead of ABP’s built-in Auth Server/OpenIddict in a multi-tenant ABP application.

  • High-level approach:

    • Do not run ABP AuthServer/OpenIddict. Configure your UI and API to use remote authentication against Keycloak via OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0.
    • Resolve tenants from domain/subdomain (or header/query) and ensure the selected tenant is sent during the login flow so authorization happens in the correct tenant.
    • Map Keycloak claims to ABP’s expected claims and ensure the user exists in ABP’s identity system (ABP still needs local users/roles/permissions).
  • Backend (HttpApi.Host or Gateway)

    1. Disable local auth server and configure JWT validation against Keycloak:
// In YourProjectNameHttpApiHostModule.ConfigureServices
  public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
  {
      var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();

      context.Services
          .AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
          .AddJwtBearer(options =>
          {
              // Keycloak realm OIDC metadata
              options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]; // e.g. https://keycloak.example.com/realms/myrealm
              options.RequireHttpsMetadata = true;
              options.TokenValidationParameters.ValidateAudience = false; // or set ValidAudience(s) if you validate it
              // Optional: Map Keycloak claim names to ABP’s defaults if needed
              options.TokenValidationParameters.NameClaimType = ClaimTypes.Name;
              options.TokenValidationParameters.RoleClaimType = ClaimTypes.Role;
          });

      // Multi-tenancy tenant resolution (domain-based example)
      Configure<AbpTenantResolveOptions>(opts =>
      {
          // e.g. {0}.myapp.com → tenant from subdomain
          opts.AddDomainTenantResolver("{0}.myapp.com");
          // Optionally also allow header/query resolvers if you prefer those
          // opts.AddHeaderTenantResolver();
          // opts.AddQueryStringTenantResolver();
      });

      // CORS if needed for your SPA domains
      Configure<AbpCorsOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.AddPolicy(DefaultCorsPolicyName, builder =>
          {
              builder
                  .WithOrigins(
                      "https://{0}.myapp.com" // replace with exact SPA origins per tenant if not using wildcard CORS service
                  )
                  .AllowAnyHeader()
                  .AllowAnyMethod()
                  .AllowCredentials();
          });
      });
  }

  // In your module’s OnApplicationInitialization (or Program.cs in minimal hosting)
  public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
  {
      var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();
      app.UseCorrelationId();
      app.UseRouting();
      app.UseCors();
      app.UseAuthentication();
      app.UseMultiTenancy();
      app.UseAuthorization();
      app.UseConfiguredEndpoints();
  }
  1. Ensure ABP local users exist:
    • ABP authorizes against its own identity/permission system. Use an external login flow (OpenID Connect) and provision/link users to ABP users on first login, or implement a synchronization job from Keycloak to ABP Identity.
    • If you use MVC/Razor pages: Add an OpenID Connect external login handler that uses Keycloak as the external provider and creates/links local ABP users upon first sign-in.
  • Frontend (Angular/Blazor/MVC)
    • Angular:
      • Configure oAuthConfig to use Keycloak realm as issuer and app’s clientId:
oAuthConfig: {
      issuer: 'https://keycloak.example.com/realms/myrealm',
      redirectUri: 'https://{0}.myapp.com', // domain-based tenant
      clientId: 'my-angular-client',
      responseType: 'code',
      scope: 'openid profile email offline_access',
      requireHttps: true
    }
- Use domain-based tenant resolution on the UI by setting baseUrl/Authority with {0} placeholder and configure AbpTenantResolveOptions on the backend to match. This prevents tenant switching and ensures the __tenant value aligns with the subdomain.
- When navigating to login, optionally pass __tenant if you rely on header/query resolvers:
import { AuthService, SessionStateService } from '@abp/ng.core';

    // ...
    const tenantId = this.sessionState.getTenant()?.id;
    this.authService.navigateToLogin(tenantId ? { __tenant: `${tenantId}` } : undefined);
  • Blazor WebAssembly:

    • Set AuthServer:Authority and RemoteServices:Default in appsettings to Keycloak realm and your API base. If you use subdomain tenancy, place {0} and replace it at startup from the current host before configuring OIDC and remote services.
  • Keycloak configuration

    • Create a realm (or one realm per tenant if you intend tenant-per-realm). Most ABP setups use one realm and resolve tenants by domain; your ABP-side tenant resolver remains the source of truth.
    • Create a confidential/public client for your SPA/API flows:
      • Allowed redirect URIs: add each tenant app URL, e.g. https://tenant1.myapp.com, https://tenant2.myapp.com (avoid wildcards for redirect URIs; list exact URLs).
      • Web origins/CORS: add SPA origins accordingly.
    • Expose roles/claims:
      • Map realm or client roles to the role claim Keycloak emits (ABP expects role in the standard role claim). If the claim types differ, set RoleClaimType/NameClaimType in TokenValidationParameters accordingly on the backend.
  • Multi-tenancy specifics

    • Prefer domain/subdomain tenant resolver on backend to prevent switching. Example:
Configure<AbpTenantResolveOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.AddDomainTenantResolver("{0}.myapp.com");
    });
  • Ensure headers with underscores (__tenant) are forwarded if you use header/query resolvers behind proxies like NGINX (set underscores_in_headers on). With pure domain resolver, this is not needed.

  • Place UseAuthentication() before UseMultiTenancy() in the middleware order so tenant can be resolved from token/headers correctly where applicable.

  • Common pitfalls

    • Mismatch between Angular issuer and backend Authority: issuer must point to the Keycloak realm URL. Backend JWT validation Authority must match too.
    • Missing redirect URIs per tenant domain in Keycloak client → causes login loops.
    • UI or gateway blocks the __tenant header (if you rely on it) → tenant falls back to Host.
    • Not provisioning ABP users → tokens validate but ABP authorization fails because local user/permissions are missing.

  1. Solution
  • Use Centralized Authentication (one Auth Server) and OIDC sign-in, not password-based token requests:

    • Treat Solution 1 as the single OpenIddict Authorization Server (AuthServer).
    • Register each frontend/back‑end of Solution 2 as OpenIddict client applications on Solution 1.
    • In Solution 2, authenticate users via standard OpenID Connect browser flow (Authorization Code, with PKCE for SPAs if any). Never call the token endpoint with username/password when users come from SSO.
  • Automatic user provisioning on first external login (recommended):

    • ABP’s Account module supports external/third‑party logins and can create a local user automatically on first login when external provider returns required claims (e.g., email). This allows Solution 2 users to appear in Solution 1’s identity store without knowing their password.
    • Ensure your OIDC configuration requests the email scope and maps sub -> NameIdentifier so ABP can provision users.
    • If you must restrict auto‑provisioning, handle the external login callback to apply custom rules or block creation.
  • Don’t reuse the same confidential client credentials across different sites arbitrarily:

    • Create a dedicated client for each app of Solution 2 in Solution 1’s OpenIddict (distinct client_id, secret if confidential, redirect URIs).
    • Register exact redirect URIs and post-logout redirect URIs used by Solution 2.
    • Grant the correct flows: for MVC server-side apps use authorization_code (+ refresh_token); for SPAs use authorization_code with PKCE; avoid resource owner password flow for SSO scenarios.
  • When only email is available (no password):

    • Use OIDC Authorization Code flow. The user authenticates at Solution 1 (AuthServer) using whatever SSO/external IdP it trusts (Azure AD, Google, etc.). Your Solution 2 does not and should not need the user’s password.
    • Ensure Solution 1 returns email and profile claims. In ABP, add options.Scope.Add("email") (and profile) in your OpenIdConnect configuration so the Account module can create/link the user on first login.
  • Practical steps

    1. In Solution 1 (AuthServer):
      • Define API scopes/resources needed by Solution 2.
      • Seed OpenIddict client applications for Solution 2 with:
        • client_id and client_secret (if confidential),
        • allowed grant types: authorization_code (+ refresh_token), optionally PKCE,
        • redirectUris/postLogoutRedirectUris matching Solution 2’s public URLs,
        • scopes: openid, profile, email, offline_access (+ your API scopes).
    2. In Solution 2 (MVC):
      • Add OpenID Connect authentication pointing to Solution 1’s authority:
services.AddAuthentication()
         .AddCookie()
         .AddOpenIdConnect("oidc", "AuthServer", options =>
         {
             options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"];
             options.RequireHttpsMetadata = true;
             options.ClientId = configuration["AuthServer:ClientId"];
             options.ClientSecret = configuration["AuthServer:ClientSecret"];
             options.ResponseType = "code";
             options.UsePkce = true;
             options.SaveTokens = true;

             options.Scope.Clear();
             options.Scope.Add("openid");
             options.Scope.Add("profile");
             options.Scope.Add("email");
             options.Scope.Add("offline_access");
             options.Scope.Add("MySolution2Api"); // your API scope(s)

             // Important for ABP external login handling:
             options.ClaimActions.MapJsonKey(System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, "sub");
             options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true; // or false if you rely on id_token only
         });
 - Ensure cookies are configured and the app uses the OIDC challenge for sign-in.
  1. Enable ABP external login auto‑provisioning behavior:
    • With email scope present, ABP’s Account module can create the user locally on first login. If you’ve customized login, keep the mapping for sub → NameIdentifier and ensure email is present.
  2. If you run behind reverse proxies/ingress:
    • Register HTTPS redirect URIs that exactly match the browser-facing URLs.
    • Enable forwarded headers so ASP.NET Core and OIDC handlers generate correct https URLs.
  • Summary answers to your questions
    • Recommended approach: Centralized authentication via Solution 1 as AuthServer; Solution 2 signs in via OIDC Authorization Code flow. No password needed.
    • Auto-provision users in Solution 1? Yes, recommended. ABP supports creating the user on first external login if required claims are provided.
    • Specific flow when only email is available? Authorization Code flow (with PKCE for SPA). Request email scope so ABP can provision/link the user.
    • Handling authentication without credentials due to SSO: Never use ROPC or call token endpoint with username/password. Always use browser-based OIDC flow against the central AuthServer; rely on claims and ABP’s external login user provisioning.

Answer
  1. Solution
  • LeptonX MVC layouts (including the top menu layout) are Razor files in the LeptonX theme package. To customize the top menu, override the corresponding .cshtml files in your Web project by copying them with the exact same folder structure. ABP will automatically prefer your local files over the theme’s embedded ones.

  • Steps:

    1. Get the LeptonX theme source (optional but helpful to see the original files):

      • If you have access to the theme sources, use ABP CLI: abp get-source Volo.Abp.LeptonXTheme
      • In the downloaded repo, find: aspnet-core/volo/src/Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.LeptonX/Themes/LeptonX/Layouts/Application/ Key files:
        • TopMenuLayout.cshtml -> top menu layout
        • SideMenuLayout.cshtml -> side (left) menu layout Additionally, reusable pieces (header, navbar, user menu, etc.) are under: Themes/LeptonX/Components/...
    2. Override the top menu layout in your MVC app:

      • Create the same folder structure in your Web project: YourProject.Web/Views/ Then add the following (exact path and names are critical): YourProject.Web/Themes/LeptonX/Layouts/Application/TopMenuLayout.cshtml
      • Copy the original TopMenuLayout.cshtml into that path.
      • Modify it as needed (e.g., rearrange toolbar/menu, add extra sections/partials).
      • If you need to customize the menu rendering itself or header elements, also override the related theme components found under: Themes/LeptonX/Components/<ComponentName>/Default.cshtml Create matching folders and copy/edit the component views you want to change.
    3. Switch your application to use the top menu layout:

      • Ensure your application layout selection (usually configured by the theme/layout provider or the selected layout in your pages) uses the TopMenuLayout.cshtml. In ABP MVC, LeptonX decides the layout file per page. If a page doesn’t pick the top layout by default, you can force it per-page: @{ Layout = "/Themes/LeptonX/Layouts/Application/TopMenuLayout.cshtml"; }
      • Alternatively, if your project already uses the Top Menu layout globally, just overriding the file is enough; your customized version will take effect.
    4. Notes/tips:

      • Keep the path casing and hierarchy exactly the same as the theme’s files to override correctly.
      • You do not need to embed resources or change bundling for Razor overrides.
      • If you only want to change CSS/spacing, prefer CSS overrides first. For structural changes (moving items, adding containers), edit the Razor files.
      • For menu items themselves (entries), use your MenuContributor; for the layout and placement (top vs. side), change the layout .cshtml.

  1. Solution
  • What changed in v10.0.1

    • ABP Framework modules switched their default object mapper from AutoMapper to Mapperly in v10. You can still use AutoMapper in your own application layers, but new ABP templates and modules favor Mapperly. This is why you see guidance “use Mapperly,” especially in UI layers like Blazor.
  • Why it “works in Application layer but not in Blazor”

    • Your Application layer likely still references and configures Volo.Abp.AutoMapper and your AutoMapper profiles. However, your Blazor project was created/updated to v10 where the UI integration uses Mapperly by default. If the Blazor project no longer references Volo.Abp.AutoMapper or doesn’t register your AutoMapper profiles, AutoMapper-based mappings won’t be available there.
  • Two supported ways to resolve

    Option A — Keep using AutoMapper everywhere (quickest to keep existing profiles)

    1. Add the AutoMapper integration in all layers that need it (including Blazor):
      • Add package references to the Blazor project:
        • Volo.Abp.AutoMapper
        • AutoMapper
        • AutoMapper.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection
    2. Ensure your Blazor module depends on AbpAutoMapperModule and registers your profiles:
using Volo.Abp;
     using Volo.Abp.AutoMapper;
     using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

     [DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpAutoMapperModule)
     )]
     public class MyProjectBlazorModule : AbpModule
     {
         public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
         {
             context.Services.AddAutoMapperObjectMapper<MyProjectBlazorModule>();

             Configure<AbpAutoMapperOptions>(options =>
             {
                 // Add your AutoMapper profiles that contain CreateMap<,>() definitions
                 options.AddMaps<MyProjectApplicationModule>(validate: true);
                 options.AddMaps<MyProjectBlazorModule>(validate: true);
             });
         }
     }
  1. Make sure your AutoMapper Profile classes are in assemblies scanned above (e.g., Application and Blazor projects if you keep profiles there).
  2. If you previously removed Volo.Abp.AutoMapper due to the upgrade, restore it in the .csproj and module DependsOn.

Option B — Migrate to Mapperly (recommended for ABP v10+)

  1. Replace AutoMapper integration with Mapperly across the solution:
    • In all projects, replace Volo.Abp.AutoMapper with Volo.Abp.Mapperly (csproj).
    • In code, replace:
      • using Volo.Abp.AutoMapper; → using Volo.Abp.Mapperly;
      • AbpAutoMapperModule → AbpMapperlyModule
      • AddAutoMapperObjectMapper → AddMapperlyObjectMapper
      • Remove Configure<AbpAutoMapperOptions> blocks.
  2. Convert your AutoMapper Profile mappings to Mapperly mappers using partial classes with [Mapper] and Map/ReverseMap methods. Example:
using Riok.Mapperly.Abstractions;
     using Volo.Abp.Mapperly;

     [Mapper(RequiredMappingStrategy = RequiredMappingStrategy.Target)]
     public partial class MyEntityToDtoMapper : MapperBase<MyEntity, MyEntityDto>
     {
         public override partial MyEntityDto Map(MyEntity source);
         public override partial void Map(MyEntity source, MyEntityDto destination);
     }
  1. Register Mapperly in each layer (including Blazor) that needs mappings:
using Volo.Abp;
     using Volo.Abp.Mapperly;
     using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

     [DependsOn(typeof(AbpMapperlyModule))]
     public class MyProjectBlazorModule : AbpModule
     {
         public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
         {
             context.Services.AddMapperlyObjectMapper<MyProjectBlazorModule>();
         }
     }
  1. Build to let source generators produce mapping implementations. Fix any missing attributes (e.g., MapProperty, MapperIgnoreTarget) and AfterMap custom logic.
  • Practical recommendation
    • If you need a fast fix to keep your existing profiles: follow Option A and re-enable AutoMapper in the Blazor project.
    • If you can invest a bit of time for the future-proof path: follow Option B and migrate to Mapperly using the guide below.

  1. Solution
  • Why it happens

    • EF Core does not enable lazy loading by default in ABP. The default repository GetAsync(id) loads only the aggregate root and not its navigation collections. Therefore, when the ObjectMapper maps ProductItem to ProductItemDto, the collections are not loaded and end up empty.
  • What to change

    • Load related collections explicitly, then map. Use ABP’s repository WithDetails/WithDetailsAsync (or GetAsync(id, includeDetails: true) if your repository exposes it) to eagerly include navigation properties.
  • Option A: Use WithDetailsAsync in your AppService

public virtual async Task<ProductItemDto> GetAsync(Guid id)
  {
      var queryable = await _productItemRepository.WithDetailsAsync(
          x => x.ProductItemCultures,
          x => x.ProductItemAttributeListValues
      );

      var entity = await AsyncExecuter.FirstOrDefaultAsync(queryable.Where(x => x.Id == id));
      if (entity == null)
      {
          throw new EntityNotFoundException(typeof(ProductItem), id);
      }

      return ObjectMapper.Map<ProductItem, ProductItemDto>(entity);
  }
  • Option B: Expose includeDetails on repository Get/Find
    • If your repository inherits from EfCoreRepository, you can call:
public virtual async Task<ProductItemDto> GetAsync(Guid id)
  {
      var entity = await _productItemRepository.GetAsync(id, includeDetails: true);
      return ObjectMapper.Map<ProductItem, ProductItemDto>(entity);
  }
  • Then configure default details in a custom repository if needed:
public class ProductItemRepository 
      : EfCoreRepository<MyDbContext, ProductItem, Guid>, IProductItemRepository
  {
      public ProductItemRepository(IDbContextProvider<MyDbContext> dbContextProvider)
          : base(dbContextProvider)
      {
      }

      public override async Task<IQueryable<ProductItem>> WithDetailsAsync()
      {
          return (await GetQueryableAsync())
              .Include(x => x.ProductItemCultures)
              .Include(x => x.ProductItemAttributeListValues);
      }
  }
  • With this, any GetAsync(id, includeDetails: true) will include those navigations by default.

  • Notes for multi-tenancy and filters

    • Ensure the requested ProductItem and its children belong to the same Tenant (entities implement IMultiTenant). ABP’s data filters automatically apply tenant filtering; mismatched TenantId will result in not-found or empty collections.
    • If any child entities are soft-deleted (ISoftDelete), ABP filters them out. Disable filters only if you need to see deleted children:
using (DataFilter.Disable<ISoftDelete>())
    {
        // load with details here
    }
  • Summary
    • Replace the generated GetAsync(id) call with an eager-loading variant (WithDetails/Include) so EF Core actually retrieves ProductItemCultures and ProductItemAttributeListValues before mapping. Swagger shows the DTO shape, not the loading behavior; you must include related data explicitly.

  1. Solution
  • Short answer: Yes, you can ship a pure-OSS HttpApi.Client package (and underlying contracts) by removing all ABP Commercial (Pro) dependencies from Domain.Shared, Application.Contracts and HttpApi.Client, while still using Commercial packages in your server-side layers. However:

    • You must not reference any Pro package from the client-distributed NuGet (no transitive Pro deps).
    • Any features/types that come from Pro packages cannot be exposed in your contracts or client proxies.
    • This is supported from a technical standpoint, but you must ensure your contracts and controllers don’t use types, permissions, features, or APIs defined by Pro modules.
  • Practical steps:

    1. Domain.Shared
      • Remove Pro dependencies like:
        • Volo.Abp.Identity.Pro.Domain.Shared
        • Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Pro.Domain.Shared
      • Replace with OSS equivalents where needed (e.g., Volo.Abp.Identity.Domain.Shared, Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Domain.Shared) and refactor constants/enums/options so you don’t rely on Pro-only members.
    2. Application.Contracts
      • Remove Pro contracts like:
        • Volo.Abp.Identity.Pro.Application.Contracts
        • Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Pro.Application.Contracts
        • Volo.Abp.Account.Pro.*.Application.Contracts
      • Reference only OSS contracts (e.g., Volo.Abp.Identity.Application.Contracts) or eliminate the dependency entirely by defining your own DTOs and interfaces that don’t use Pro types.
      • Ensure no DTO, interface, attribute, permission name, or feature flag from Pro packages remains.
    3. HttpApi.Client
      • Remove all Pro HttpApi.Client packages:
        • Volo.Abp.Identity.Pro.HttpApi.Client
        • Volo.Abp.Account.Pro.*.HttpApi.Client
        • Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Pro.HttpApi.Client
      • Generate or reference only the client proxies for your own controllers and OSS-based modules.
      • If you previously used dynamic client proxies, you can switch to Static C# API clients to fully control what gets compiled into the client package.
    4. Server-side (Application, Domain, HttpApi, Host)
      • You can continue using Pro packages here.
      • Keep all Pro usage out of the shared contract surface. If a controller action returns or accepts a Pro type, that action will force a Pro dependency into your client. Refactor these endpoints to return your own DTOs or OSS types for the public API.
    5. Packaging for external users
      • Create a separate HttpApi.Client-only NuGet (and optionally a separate Application.Contracts NuGet) that references only nuget.org OSS packages.
      • Ensure nuspec/props do not include any private feeds or Pro package references.
      • Consumers only need nuget.org; they won’t need ABP Commercial feeds or licenses to restore or use your client.
  • Licensing implications:

    • ABP Framework (OSS) is MIT and can be redistributed freely.
    • ABP Commercial (Pro) packages must not be redistributed to third parties (no transitive or direct dependencies in what you publish).
    • If you keep Pro packages only on the server and fully exclude them from your client/contract packages, your distributed packages remain OSS-only and do not require your clients to have an ABP Commercial license.
  • Technical limitations to watch:

    • Transitive leakage: even a single Pro-defined permission name, feature, interface, DTO, or attribute referenced in Application.Contracts will pull in Pro packages or cause compile/runtime mismatches. Replace these with your own abstractions or OSS equivalents.
    • Identity/OpenIddict differences: Pro variants add extra endpoints/features. If your public API relies on those extras, you must either:
      • Project them to your own DTOs and surface only those in contracts, or
      • Provide alternative endpoints that don’t require Pro features.
    • Angular/Blazor/Client tooling: If you generate client proxies automatically, configure generation to target only your public controllers (exclude Pro module endpoints). Static C# client generation helps avoid unwanted dependencies.

  1. Solution To use Dynamic Claims in a tiered ABP 8.3.4 solution (Blazor Server UI + separated Auth Server), configure it as follows:
  • Enable Dynamic Claims on the authentication server (AuthServer/IdentityHost):
using Volo.Abp.Security.Claims;

  public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
  {
      context.Services.Configure<AbpClaimsPrincipalFactoryOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.IsDynamicClaimsEnabled = true; // enable dynamic claims
      });
  }
  • Enable Dynamic Claims on the UI host (Blazor Server) and set RemoteRefreshUrl to the Auth Server:
using Volo.Abp.Security.Claims;

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

      context.Services.Configure<AbpClaimsPrincipalFactoryOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.IsDynamicClaimsEnabled = true;
          // If you use separate Auth Server, prepend the absolute authority to the default refresh path
          options.RemoteRefreshUrl = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"]?.TrimEnd('/') + options.RemoteRefreshUrl;
      });
  }

Notes:

  • If you use Abp’s AddAbpOpenIdConnect/AddAbpJwtBearer, the RemoteRefreshUrl is set automatically. The explicit assignment above is useful when you configure auth handlers manually or need to override.

  • Ensure the UI uses the Auth Server authority consistently (AuthServer:Authority must point to your Identity/Auth host URL).

  • Implement and register your dynamic claims contributor (on the Auth Server; in tiered setups, this must run where the principal is created/refreshed):

using System.Security.Claims;
  using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
  using Volo.Abp.Security.Claims;

  public class MyDynamicClaimsContributor :
      IDynamicClaimsPrincipalContributor, ITransientDependency
  {
      public async Task ContributeAsync(DynamicClaimsPrincipalContributionContext context)
      {
          // Example: add/update a claim dynamically, e.g. a custom tenant role/flag
          // Use context.Principal to read current claims and context.TenantId, context.UserId, etc.
          var identity = context.Principal.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
          if (identity == null) return;

          // remove existing value if present
          identity.RemoveClaim(identity.FindFirst("my-dynamic-flag"));
          // add new dynamic claim
          identity.AddClaim(new Claim("my-dynamic-flag", "true"));

          await Task.CompletedTask;
      }
  }

Then register it (Auth Server):

public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
  {
      Configure<AbpDynamicClaimsPrincipalOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.Contributors.Add<MyDynamicClaimsContributor>();
      });
  }
  • RemoteServices configuration: which remote service is used?

    • Dynamic Claims refresh is handled by ABP’s Dynamic Claims endpoint on the Auth Server; you do not call AbpIdentity or AbpAccountPublic endpoints yourself for the refresh. The framework posts to RemoteRefreshUrl to get an updated principal.
    • Therefore, set RemoteRefreshUrl to the AuthServer’s base URL + the built-in path (done automatically by AddAbpOpenIdConnect/AddAbpJwtBearer). You do NOT need to configure a RemoteServices: section specifically for “AbpAccountPublic” or “AbpIdentity” for Dynamic Claims to work.
    • Keep your standard RemoteServices configuration for your own HTTP client proxies as usual; Dynamic Claims does not require an extra named remote service.
  • Authentication middleware/handlers:

    • UI (Blazor Server): use the OIDC/JWT integration that authenticates against the Auth Server and let ABP wire the RemoteRefreshUrl. For example, with OIDC:
context.Services.AddAuthentication()
        .AddAbpOpenIdConnect("oidc", options =>
        {
            options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"];
            // other OIDC options (ClientId, Secret, ResponseType, scopes ...)
            // RemoteRefreshUrl is set by AddAbpOpenIdConnect internally.
        });
  • Runtime checks:
    • After user signs in, ABP will refresh claims dynamically on-demand or on interval. You can force-refresh by calling the dynamic claims refresh endpoint (framework does it) or sign-out/in to observe changes.
    • Ensure date/time skew between UI and AuthServer isn’t extreme; HTTPS must be used in production.
