  1. Solution There isn’t a built-in ABP/OpenIddict option that “disables” direct navigation to the AuthServer’s login/home. However, you can enforce “login must originate from a valid client authorization request” by challenging requests that lack a valid returnUrl (or an authorization context) and by preventing anonymous access to the AuthServer’s root/home.

Recommended approach for ABP v8.x AuthServer (OpenIddict-based):

  • Protect the AuthServer’s home/root and Account pages by default, then only allow access when a valid returnUrl is present and points to a registered client redirect URI. You can do this with a lightweight page filter or middleware that checks the returnUrl.

Example: Razor Pages filter registered in AuthServer

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities;
using System.Web;
using Volo.Abp.OpenIddict.Applications;
using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;

public class EnforceReturnUrlFilter : IAsyncPageFilter, ITransientDependency
{
    private readonly IOpenIddictApplicationRepository _appRepo;

    public EnforceReturnUrlFilter(IOpenIddictApplicationRepository appRepo)
    {
        _appRepo = appRepo;
    }

    public Task OnPageHandlerSelectionAsync(PageHandlerSelectedContext context) => Task.CompletedTask;

    public async Task OnPageHandlerExecutionAsync(PageHandlerExecutingContext context, PageHandlerExecutionDelegate next)
    {
        var http = context.HttpContext;
        var path = http.Request.Path.Value?.ToLowerInvariant() ?? string.Empty;

        // Pages we want to restrict when unauthenticated:
        var isAccountEntry = path.Equals("/account/login", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                          || path.Equals("/account/register", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                          || path.Equals("/account/forgotpassword", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                          || path.Equals("/account", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                          || path.Equals("/", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

        if (isAccountEntry && !http.User.Identity?.IsAuthenticated == true)
        {
            var returnUrl = http.Request.Query["returnUrl"].ToString();

            // Require a returnUrl
            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(returnUrl))
            {
                context.Result = new ForbidResult(); // triggers challenge in most setups; you can also Redirect to a safe page
                return;
            }

            // Validate that returnUrl ultimately maps to a registered client redirect URI
            // Typical returnUrl on login is '/connect/authorize?...redirect_uri=...'
            var absoluteReturn = returnUrl.StartsWith("/", StringComparison.Ordinal) ? $"{http.Request.Scheme}://{http.Request.Host}{returnUrl}" : returnUrl;
            var uri = new Uri(absoluteReturn, UriKind.Absolute);

            var query = QueryHelpers.ParseQuery(uri.Query);
            if (!query.TryGetValue("client_id", out var clientId) ||
                !query.TryGetValue("redirect_uri", out var redirectUri))
            {
                context.Result = new ForbidResult();
                return;
            }

            var app = await _appRepo.FindByClientIdAsync(clientId!);
            if (app == null || app.RedirectUris == null || !app.RedirectUris.Contains(redirectUri!))
            {
                context.Result = new ForbidResult();
                return;
            }
        }

        await next();
    }
}

Register the filter in your AuthServer Web module:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages;
using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

public class AuthServerWebModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        Configure<RazorPagesOptions>(options =>
        {
            // Authorize everything by default
            options.Conventions.AuthorizeFolder("/");
            // Allow anonymous access to Account pages because they must be reachable for the OIDC flow,
            // but guarded by our EnforceReturnUrlFilter.
            options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToFolder("/Account");
            options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToPage("/Error");

            // Add our enforcement filter globally
            options.Conventions.AddFolderApplicationModelConvention("/",
                model => model.Filters.Add(new ServiceFilterAttribute(typeof(EnforceReturnUrlFilter))));
        });
    }
}

Behavior:

  • Anonymous users hitting AuthServer / or /Account/Login directly without a proper returnUrl are rejected (Forbid -> OIDC challenge), preventing casual direct use of the login UI.
  • If the request comes from a legit OIDC authorization request (e.g., /connect/authorize?client_id=...&redirect_uri=...), the filter validates the client and redirect_uri via OpenIddict’s application repository and allows the login page to render.
  • Adjust Result (Forbid/Redirect) to your preference (e.g., show a minimal error page).

Alternative minimal option:

  • Keep /Account/Login anonymous but override the Account Login page model to check Model.ReturnUrl early. If missing or invalid, short-circuit with Forbid/Redirect. ABP allows overriding Account pages in your AuthServer to add such validation.

Notes:

  • Do not globally disable anonymous access to /connect/authorize; it must remain publicly accessible for OIDC.
  • Ensure all legitimate clients use authorization_code flow and initiate via /connect/authorize so login requests always carry a valid returnUrl and client_id.

  1. Solution To make the root index page (/) auto-redirect to the login page when the user is not authenticated in an ABP MVC UI (v8.4), authorize the index page (or the whole folder) via Razor Pages conventions. This leverages ASP.NET Core’s authorization so unauthenticated users are challenged and redirected to the Account/Login page.

Add this to your Web module’s ConfigureServices:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages;
using Volo.Abp.Modularity;

[DependsOn(typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiThemeSharedModule))] // typical Web module deps
public class YourProjectWebModule : AbpModule
{
    public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        Configure<RazorPagesOptions>(options =>
        {
            // Option A: Authorize only the index page
            options.Conventions.AuthorizePage("/Index");

            // Option B (broader): Authorize the entire site, then allow anonymous only for account pages you need
            // options.Conventions.AuthorizeFolder("/");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/Login");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/Register");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/ForgotPassword");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/ResetPassword");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/EmailConfirmation");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToAreaPage("Account", "/TwoFactor");
            // options.Conventions.AllowAnonymousToPage("/Error");
        });
    }
}

Notes:

  • Option A is the simplest: it only protects the homepage and causes an automatic redirect to login if unauthenticated.
  • Option B protects everything by default and explicitly opens only the necessary anonymous pages. This ensures consistent redirects to login across the app. Do not open the entire /Account folder anonymously, only the specific pages that must be public.
  • ABP already wires the cookie/OIDC challenge so the redirect to the Account Module’s login page happens automatically.

  1. Solution
  • If you have ABP Commercial (ABP Studio/Business+ license) installed, the new ABP CLI defaults to the unified template system and may include Pro modules when you create a solution via Studio or the new CLI. Use one of these verified ways to create a Free (non‑Pro) Blazor Server project:

    1. Use the “free” startup template with the CLI:
      • Old (classic) CLI syntax: abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u blazor-server --mobile none --old
      • New CLI syntax (still generating the free template when you specify -t app and Blazor Server): abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u blazor-server --mobile none Notes:
      • -t app selects the standard Application template.
      • -u blazor-server selects Blazor Server UI.
      • --mobile none keeps it minimal.
      • If the new CLI on your machine still injects commercial modules, append --old to force the legacy free generator.
    2. Use the “non-commercial” docs sample command exactly: abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u blazor-server --mobile none
  • Ensure you are using the correct CLI:

    • If you installed the new Studio CLI (Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli), it overrides the abp command. To guarantee free templates identical to the classic generator, use --old or install the legacy CLI alone: dotnet tool uninstall -g Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u blazor-server --mobile none
    • Alternatively, keep the new CLI and just add --old at the end of your abp new command.
  • If you already created a solution that contains Pro modules and want to remove them:

    • Remove Pro module package references from the .csproj files and the corresponding module dependencies from your Module classes (e.g., AbpSaas*, FileManagement*, CmsKitPro*, AuditLogging Pro, etc.).
    • Remove related configuration from appsettings.json (e.g., SaaS, FileManagement, etc.) and from DI registrations.
    • Run restore and build after cleanup.

  1. Solution Your redirect_uri issue is fixed. Now the flow succeeds (PAR, authorize, token) and fails only when Hangfire calls /connect/userinfo: “the token had no valid audience”. That means your access token’s aud does not match any audience accepted by the AuthServer’s OpenIddict Validation handler for the UserInfo endpoint request.

Fix it by aligning the API resources/audiences:

  • Ensure the Hangfire client requests an API scope that maps to a resource with a known audience.

    • In ABP/OpenIddict, each service scope (e.g., HangfireService) should be associated with an API resource name. Typically, the audience equals the resource name.
    • If your Hangfire service uses Cookie + OIDC only to show the dashboard, you can:
      • Either remove the userinfo call (set GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = false and rely on id_token claims),
      • Or keep userinfo but ensure the access token has a proper audience that the validation layer accepts.
  • Recommended OIDC client options for Hangfire MVC:

services.AddAuthentication()
    .AddCookie()
    .AddOpenIdConnect(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, options =>
    {
        options.Authority = configuration["AuthServer:Authority"];
        options.RequireHttpsMetadata = true; // behind ingress, ensure ForwardedHeaders or force https if needed
        options.ClientId = configuration["AuthServer:HangfireClientId"];
        options.ClientSecret = configuration["AuthServer:HangfireClientSecret"];
        options.ResponseType = OpenIdConnectResponseType.Code;
        options.UsePkce = true;
        options.SaveTokens = true;

        // If you DON’T need /userinfo, disable it to avoid the "valid audience" check there:
        options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = false;

        // Otherwise, keep it true and request a scope that maps to a resource with accepted audience:
        // options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true;

        options.Scope.Clear();
        options.Scope.Add("openid");
        options.Scope.Add("profile");
        options.Scope.Add("email");
        options.Scope.Add("phone");
        options.Scope.Add("offline_access");
        options.Scope.Add("HangfireService"); // must be a registered API scope/resource

        options.SignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    });
  • Register the API resource/scope on AuthServer properly:

    • Ensure an API scope “HangfireService” exists and is tied to an API resource name that will be used as aud in issued tokens. If you use ABP defaults, the audience equals the resource (service) name. Verify that the audience emitted in the access_token contains HangfireService (or your resource name).
    • In your microservice, configure JwtBearer Audience to match that resource name when you protect APIs. Even if Hangfire dashboard itself may not call your own APIs, the UserInfo endpoint validates audience internally. So the access token must include a valid audience the server recognizes.
  • If you don’t need the UserInfo endpoint at all:

    • Set options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = false as shown. The id_token already contains standard claims (subject, name, email, etc.) depending on your server configuration. This is the simplest fix for dashboards.
  • Reverse proxy/K8s scheme consistency:

    • Your latest logs still show http for some internal hops. Make sure the app sees HTTPS:
      • Enable ForwardedHeaders to honor X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-For.
      • Or force HTTPS scheme early in pipeline if necessary: app.Use((ctx, next) => { ctx.Request.Scheme = "https"; return next(); });
    • Keep all registered redirect URIs on the client as HTTPS and matching the ingress host.
  • Summary of minimal changes to stop the 500 now:

    1. Disable the userinfo call: options.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = false Then redeploy and test: the flow should complete without hitting /connect/userinfo, thus no audience error.
    2. Or, keep userinfo and fix scopes/resources so access token has a valid aud:
      • Ensure “HangfireService” scope exists and maps to a resource; access tokens include aud=HangfireService; server accepts it.

  1. Solution Your AuthServer logs show the exact mismatch:
  • redirect_uri received: http://treva-hangfire/signin-oidc
  • It is not present in the Hangfire client’s Redirect URIs on AuthServer.

In Kubernetes, the browser reaches the Hangfire Dashboard via the public host (ingress), but your Hangfire app is sending an internal host (treva-hangfire) in the OIDC request. OpenIddict requires an exact string match.

Apply all steps below:

  • Fix the redirect_uri to use the public HTTPS host of the Hangfire Dashboard

    • Configure your Hangfire service OpenIdConnect options so the redirect URI is https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc (or whichever public URL users actually use). Don’t use the internal K8s service name treva-hangfire.
    • If you build it from webClientRootUrl, make sure webClientRootUrl is the public Hangfire URL in remote (e.g., https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/).
  • Register the exact public callback(s) on the Hangfire client in AuthServer

    • Redirect URIs must include the public URI(s) you will use:
      • https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc
    • Post-logout redirect URIs similarly:
      • https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc
    • Remove internal hosts like http://treva-hangfire unless you really sign in via that URL from a browser (generally not the case).
    • If Hangfire can also be reached via other public hosts, add those too. Each must match exactly.
  • Keep HTTPS everywhere

    • Ensure all registered URIs are HTTPS if your ingress is HTTPS. Don’t mix HTTP/HTTPS.
    • If your app is behind an HTTPS reverse proxy/ingress, make sure it reports HTTPS to ASP.NET Core so OpenIdConnect generates https://… URLs:
      • Enable ForwardedHeaders middleware to honor X-Forwarded-Proto (K8s ingress sets it).
      • Alternatively, force scheme to https at the app start if needed: app.Use((ctx, next) => { ctx.Request.Scheme = "https"; return next(); });
  • Seed the Hangfire OpenIddict client with the correct URIs Example (adjust hosts to your real public domains):

await CreateOrUpdateApplicationAsync(
      name: "Hangfire",
      type: OpenIddictConstants.ClientTypes.Confidential,
      consentType: OpenIddictConstants.ConsentTypes.Implicit,
      displayName: "Hangfire Client",
      secret: "1q2w3e*",
      grantTypes:
      [
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.AuthorizationCode,
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.ClientCredentials,
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.RefreshToken,
          "pushed_authorization"
      ],
      scopes:
      [
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.OpenId,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Profile,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Email,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Phone,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.OfflineAccess,
          "roles",
          "HangfireService"
      ],
      redirectUris:
      [
          "https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc"
      ],
      postLogoutRedirectUris:
      [
          "https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc"
      ]
  );

Notes:

  • For a server-side MVC client, Authorization Code (+ optional PKCE) with Refresh Token is sufficient. You typically don’t need Implicit or Password grants.

  • PAR is fine; it still requires the redirect_uri to match exactly.

  • Clear caches and restart AuthServer

    • If you use Redis caches, clear them.
    • Restart AuthServer so it reloads OpenIddict applications.
  • Verify the actual value sent

    • After deploying, reproduce and confirm the AuthServer log shows: redirect_uri: "https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc"
    • If not, your Hangfire app is still constructing it from the wrong base URL.

  1. Solution Your error comes from OpenIddict rejecting the redirect_uri used by the Hangfire Dashboard OIDC challenge in your remote environment. In Kubernetes (and when services are split behind gateways/ingress), the actual callback URL that the browser hits often differs from the value you seeded for the client. You must ensure that every possible redirect URI used by the Hangfire site is registered for the Hangfire client in OpenIddict, and that you request a redirect URI that exactly matches one of them.

Do all of the following:

  • Register every real redirect URI used by Hangfire in the remote environment:

    • If users access Hangfire via an ingress/gateway (e.g., https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero), add:
      • https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc
      • If you also allow access via gateway/edge or different hostnames/ports, add all of them:
        • https://treva-web.tav.aero/signin-oidc
        • https://treva-webgateway.tav.aero/signin-oidc
        • https://treva-authserver.tav.aero/signin-oidc
    • Do the same for Post Logout Redirect URIs:
      • https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc
      • https://treva-web.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc
      • https://treva-webgateway.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc
      • https://treva-authserver.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc
  • Seed the Hangfire OpenIddict client with those exact values (seed order doesn’t matter, but strings must match 1:1 with what the browser will use):

await CreateOrUpdateApplicationAsync(
      name: "Hangfire",
      type: OpenIddictConstants.ClientTypes.Confidential,
      consentType: OpenIddictConstants.ConsentTypes.Implicit,
      displayName: "Hangfire Client",
      secret: "1q2w3e*",
      grantTypes:
      [
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.AuthorizationCode,
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.ClientCredentials,
          OpenIddictConstants.GrantTypes.RefreshToken,
          // Remove Password & Implicit unless you really need them; not required for server-side MVC OIDC
          "pushed_authorization"
      ],
      scopes:
      [
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.OpenId,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Profile,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Email,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.Phone,
          OpenIddictConstants.Scopes.OfflineAccess,
          "roles",
          "HangfireService"
      ],
      redirectUris:
      [
          "https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signin-oidc",
          "https://treva-web.tav.aero/signin-oidc",
          "https://treva-webgateway.tav.aero/signin-oidc",
          "https://treva-authserver.tav.aero/signin-oidc"
      ],
      postLogoutRedirectUris:
      [
          "https://treva-hangfire.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc",
          "https://treva-web.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc",
          "https://treva-webgateway.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc",
          "https://treva-authserver.tav.aero/signout-callback-oidc"
      ]
  );
  • Ensure the Hangfire Dashboard app challenges with the same authority and callback path:

    • In Hangfire service (MVC), your OpenIdConnect defaults already use CallbackPath = "/signin-oidc" by convention. Do not override to something else unless you also update the client’s redirect URIs.
    • If you are building your redirect using a root URL, make sure webClientRootUrl resolves to the public URL that the browser uses to reach the Hangfire Dashboard in Kubernetes (the ingress hostname), not an internal service name or localhost.
  • If you enabled PAR (pushed_authorization):

    • Keep the client’s “Allow pushed authorization endpoint” checked and include "pushed_authorization" in extension grant types.
    • Make sure the request’s redirect_uri still exactly matches a registered URI. PAR doesn’t relax redirect_uri matching.
  • Clear caches after seeding:

    • If you use Redis/DataProtection caching for OpenIddict validation, clear Redis and restart the AuthServer so it reloads client definitions.
  • Common pitfalls to avoid:

    • Do not point Hangfire to webClientRootUrl of your main web app unless the signin-oidc callback really returns to the main web app and you’ve registered that URI for the Hangfire client.
    • Don’t mix HTTP/HTTPS. If ingress terminates TLS and you use HTTPS outside, register HTTPS URIs.
    • If you changed ports/hosts between local and remote, update the client’s redirect URIs accordingly.
    • Prefer removing “password” and “implicit” grant types for a confidential server-side MVC client; use authorization_code (+ PKCE if you prefer) with refresh_token.
  • Verify

    • Open the AuthServer /.well-known/openid-configuration on the public URL to ensure the browser is using the same authority as your OpenIdConnect handler.
    • Attempt login; if it fails, check AuthServer logs for “Client validation failed because '…/signin-oidc' was not a valid redirect_uri” and compare the exact string with your database values.

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

              context.Services.AddSingleton(new OpenAIClient(configuration["AI:OpenAI:Key"]));

              context.Services.AddChatClient(services =>
                  services.GetRequiredService<OpenAIClient>()
                          .AsChatClient(configuration["AI:OpenAI:Chat:ModelId"] ?? "gpt-4o-mini"));
          }
      }
- appsettings.json example:
{
        "AI": {
          "OpenAI": {
            "Key": "YOUR-KEY",
            "Chat": { "ModelId": "gpt-4o-mini" }
          }
        }
      }
  • Current limitations to be aware of (preview):

    • Provider coverage is driven by Microsoft.Extensions.AI integrations; features vary per provider (e.g., tool/function calling, images, embeddings). Ensure the chosen provider supports your required capabilities.
    • The AI Management module is evolving: management UI and orchestration features are being expanded; some scenarios may be incomplete in preview.
    • Expect changes while in preview; validate your configuration and keep packages in sync with the related ABP version.
  • Roadmap / planning

    • The modules are in preview; ABP aims to build on Microsoft.Extensions.AI and add management, configuration, and orchestration capabilities on top. Some features (like deeper agent/orchestration support and richer management UI) are planned and rolling out. While abstractions are intended to be stable, preview implies there may be breaking changes. Follow the docs/changelogs for updates as versions progress from preview to stable.
  • Custom chat client calling an external API (AI agents)

    • Yes, you can plug a custom chat client using ConfigureChatClient/AddChatClient. The recommended way is to implement Microsoft.Extensions.AI.IChatClient (or adapt an existing client) and register it, so the rest of ABP AI infrastructure and AI Management can use it like built-in providers.
    • Minimal example: forwarding to an arbitrary HTTP endpoint
using System.Net.Http;
    using System.Net.Http.Json;
    using System.Threading;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

    public sealed class HttpForwardingChatClient : IChatClient
    {
        private readonly HttpClient _http;
        private readonly string _endpoint; // e.g. https://customer-api.example.com/agent/chat

        public HttpForwardingChatClient(HttpClient http, string endpoint)
        {
            _http = http;
            _endpoint = endpoint;
        }

        public async Task<ChatCompletion> CompleteAsync(
            ChatMessage message,
            ChatOptions options = null,
            CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
        {
            var payload = new
            {
                input = message.Text,
                // optionally map options (system prompt, temperature, tools, etc.)
            };

            var response = await _http.PostAsJsonAsync(_endpoint, payload, cancellationToken);
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
            var result = await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<ExternalResponse>(cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

            return new ChatCompletion(new ChatMessage(Role.Assistant, result?.Output ?? string.Empty));
        }

        // Implement other IChatClient members if needed by your use-cases (e.g., streaming)
        private sealed class ExternalResponse
        {
            public string Output { get; set; }
        }
    }

Registering the custom client with ABP AI:

[DependsOn(typeof(AbpAIModule), typeof(AiManagementModule))]
      public class MyProjectWebModule : AbpModule
      {
          public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
          {
              var configuration = context.Services.GetConfiguration();
              context.Services.AddHttpClient<HttpForwardingChatClient>(client =>
              {
                  client.BaseAddress = new Uri(configuration["AI:ExternalAgent:BaseUrl"]);
              });

              context.Services.AddChatClient(sp =>
                  sp.GetRequiredService<HttpForwardingChatClient>());
          }
      }

After registration, you can inject IChatClient anywhere (app services, pages, components) and AI Management can treat it similarly to built-in providers, as the integration point is the same abstraction (IChatClient). If your scenario requires streaming, tools/functions, or multi-turn context, implement the corresponding members or map the needed options to your external API.

Answer
  1. Solution
  • Background

    • RequireFeatures on a permission definition hides that permission when the required feature is disabled for the current tenant. Host has no tenant context; if the feature you reference is not enabled for the Host side, all children (menu items bound to those permissions) disappear for Host admins.
    • StateCheckers allow custom enable/disable logic per permission (e.g., “bypass for host, check feature for tenants”), but they only affect the permission state. If your Angular menus are not also filtered by permission/feature, a menu item can still render and then fail with 403 when navigated.
    • In microservice + Angular, menu visibility depends on:
      • The permission attached to the menu item (requiredPolicy in Angular).
      • Feature checks (optional) you apply in the menu contributor.
      • The actual grant rows in PermissionGrants for the current user/role/tenant.
  • Part A: Host admin can still see “Management Service” when RequireFeatures is used

    1. Ensure features are enabled for Host if you want Host to see these permissions.
      • In the Feature Management UI, switch to Host side and enable the features required by your permissions (e.g., CarbonFeatures.Categories, CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes, etc.). If you manage features programmatically, set default values for the host:
public class CarbonFeatureDefinitionProvider : FeatureDefinitionProvider
     {
         public override void Define(IFeatureDefinitionContext context)
         {
             var group = context.AddGroup("CarbonFeatures");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.Categories", defaultValue: "true"); // host-default
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.Categories.Create", defaultValue: "true");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.Categories.Edit", defaultValue: "true");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.Categories.Delete", defaultValue: "true");

             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes", defaultValue: "true");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes.Create", defaultValue: "true");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes.Edit", defaultValue: "true");
             group.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes.Delete", defaultValue: "true");
         }
     }
  1. Alternatively, keep RequireFeatures for tenants, but bypass feature checks for host via StateCheckers:
public sealed class HostBypassFeatureChecker : ISimpleStateChecker<PermissionDefinition>
     {
         public async Task<bool> IsEnabledAsync(SimpleStateCheckerContext<PermissionDefinition> context)
         {
             var currentTenant = context.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ICurrentTenant>();
             if (!currentTenant.IsAvailable) // Host
                 return true;

             var featureChecker = context.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IFeatureChecker>();
             // Map permission name to feature name as you need
             var featureName = MapPermissionToFeature(context.State.Name);
             return await featureChecker.IsEnabledAsync(featureName);
         }

         private static string MapPermissionToFeature(string permissionName)
         {
             // Example mapping: adjust to your permission constants
             if (permissionName.StartsWith(ManagementServicePermissions.Categories.Default))
                 return "CarbonFeatures.Categories";
             if (permissionName.StartsWith(ManagementServicePermissions.CategoryTypes.Default))
                 return "CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes";
             return permissionName; // fallback
         }
     }
     // Apply to your permission definitions:
     var category = myGroup.AddPermission(ManagementServicePermissions.Categories.Default, L("Permission:Categories"));
     category.StateCheckers.Add(new HostBypassFeatureChecker());
 This approach keeps the Host menu visible without requiring Host features to be explicitly enabled.
  • Part B: Prevent tenants from seeing menu pages that are not included in their package
    • Root cause in your scenario: the Angular menu item appears because the permission used by the menu item is granted (or no permission was bound to the menu item). Clicking leads to 403 because the page or API requires a different permission that is not granted.
    • Fixes:
      1. Ensure each Angular route/menu item uses a permission that exactly matches your backend permission for that page. Do not use a “broader” parent permission if you want to hide the page when a sub-feature is disabled.
        • Angular route guard:
{
           path: 'category-types',
           component: CategoryTypesComponent,
           canActivate: [PermissionGuard],
           data: { requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes' }
         }
   - Menu item:
this.context.addItem({
           id: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes',
           text: 'Category Types',
           icon: 'fa fa-list',
           order: 10,
           requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes'
         }, MANAGEMENT_MENU_NAME);
   - If you need feature-level hiding too, add a feature check in the menu contributor and skip adding the item when feature is disabled for the current tenant.
2) Do not grant the permission in the tenant’s package if the page must be hidden. If you are generating grants dynamically, verify PermissionGrant table has no rows for the excluded pages. Your observation is correct: once the grants are removed, the menu is hidden provided you use requiredPolicy on the menu item.
3) If you keep using StateCheckers (bypass for host, check feature for tenant), keep menu items bound to those exact permissions. Since ABP UI reads permission states, menu entries disappear for tenants when the feature is disabled.
4) For microservice solutions with dynamic permissions: verify the PermissionDefinition names you bind in Angular match the definitions pushed by that microservice. A mismatch leads to menu items always visible due to missing policy binding.
  • Part C: Known edge cases and recommendations

    • Use RequireFeatures on permission definitions only if you also want menus and API access to follow the same feature switches. If host must always see, either enable those features for Host or switch to StateCheckers that bypass for host.
    • In Angular, always set both:
      • canActivate PermissionGuard on routes.
      • requiredPolicy on menu items. This guarantees no “visible but 403 on click” inconsistency.
    • If you need a package concept: treat the package assignment flow as feature/permission provisioning. When a package is assigned to a tenant, grant only the permissions of included pages. When a package excludes a page, ensure those permissions are not granted. Use your provisioning service to synchronize PermissionGrant records accordingly.
  • Minimal example putting all together

    • Permission definitions:
public class ManagementServicePermissionDefinitionProvider : PermissionDefinitionProvider
  {
      public override void Define(IPermissionDefinitionContext context)
      {
          var group = context.AddGroup("ManagementService");

          var categories = group.AddPermission("ManagementService.Categories", L("Permission:Categories"));
          categories.StateCheckers.Add(new HostBypassFeatureChecker()); // host bypass
          categories.RequireFeatures("CarbonFeatures.Categories");      // tenant feature

          var categoryTypes = group.AddPermission("ManagementService.CategoryTypes", L("Permission:CategoryTypes"));
          categoryTypes.StateCheckers.Add(new HostBypassFeatureChecker());
          categoryTypes.RequireFeatures("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes");
      }
  }
  • Angular route and menu:
// route
  { path: 'categories', component: CategoriesComponent, canActivate: [PermissionGuard], data: { requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.Categories' } }
  { path: 'category-types', component: CategoryTypesComponent, canActivate: [PermissionGuard], data: { requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes' } }

  // menu
  this.context.addItem({
    id: 'ManagementService',
    text: 'ManagementService',
    icon: 'fa fa-book',
    order: 30
  });

  this.context.addItem({
    id: 'ManagementService.Categories',
    text: 'Categories',
    parentId: 'ManagementService',
    requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.Categories'
  });

  this.context.addItem({
    id: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes',
    text: 'Category Types',
    parentId: 'ManagementService',
    requiredPolicy: 'ManagementService.CategoryTypes'
  });
  • Feature defaults for host (optional) if you prefer RequireFeatures without StateChecker bypass:
public class CarbonFeatureDefinitionProvider : FeatureDefinitionProvider
  {
      public override void Define(IFeatureDefinitionContext context)
      {
          var g = context.AddGroup("CarbonFeatures");
          g.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.Categories", defaultValue: "true");
          g.AddFeature("CarbonFeatures.CategoryTypes", defaultValue: "true");
      }
  }

This approach will:

  • Make Host admin always see and access Management Service (via host-bypass or enabling host features).
  • Make tenants see only the pages included in the package because only those permissions will be granted and the menu items require those permissions; excluded pages won’t appear at all, avoiding the 403-on-click experience.

  1. Solution
  • Cause: CMS Kit Blog pages ship their own Bootstrap container/row markup and some generic CSS. In LeptonX for Blazor, the application body already uses a flex/grid layout and spacing utilities. When the blog list and post components render inside the layout, duplicated container/row wrappers and a few global CSS classes from the Blog module can break the page width and push the sidebar/header out of alignment.

  • Fix 1 — Update LeptonX and CMS Kit to the latest compatible versions for ABP 9.3.x:

    • Ensure all UI packages are aligned to your ABP version (9.3.6). Mismatched minor versions easily cause layout glitches.
    • In all Blazor UI projects, align these packages:
      • Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.Web.LeptonXTheme
      • Volo.CmsKit.Pro.Public.Web and Volo.CmsKit.Pro.Admin.Web (or the non-Pro equivalents if you use the open-source CMS Kit)
    • After updating, clean and rebuild.
  • Fix 2 — Remove conflicting container wrappers in your CMS Kit page overrides:

    • If you customized/overrode any Blog razor components (List or Detail) under your project (e.g., Pages/CmsKit/Blogs/* or Components/Blogs/*), remove extra Bootstrap container/row/col wrappers. LeptonX already handles the main container. Keep only the content block.
    • Example (pseudo-diff):
<!-- Before -->
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-12">
          @* Blog content *@
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

    <!-- After -->
    @* Use LeptonX content area; no extra container *@
    @* Blog content *@
  • Fix 3 — Ensure you’re not importing Blog CSS globally:

    • If you added custom blog CSS to wwwroot/styles.css or imported a third-party blog stylesheet globally, scope it to the blog components only, or remove global selectors that target html/body/.container/.row. Use a wrapper class (e.g., .blog-page) in the blog components and prefix selectors accordingly.
  • Fix 4 — Verify LeptonX app layout and content container:

    • Make sure your MainLayout is using the default LeptonX layout and that your content is placed inside the provided content area. Avoid adding additional wrappers with fixed widths.
    • If you replaced any LeptonX layout component (Header, Footer, ContentContainer), revert to the default or re-implement with the same structure to preserve the layout.
  • Fix 5 — Clear cached assets:

    • Delete bin/obj, purge wwwroot (generated bundles), and restart the app. If you use static versioning, increment the bundle version so browsers fetch the new CSS.
