• To seed admin data (such as the default admin user) in a new ABP microservice solution, you should use the DbMigrator project provided in the solution. The DbMigrator is responsible for applying database migrations and seeding initial data, including admin user and roles.

• Running the update-database command in the Package Manager Console only applies migrations and does not seed data. You must run the DbMigrator project to perform both migration and data seeding.

• If you want to customize the seeded admin user (email, password, etc.), you can modify the SeedDataAsync method in your DbMigrator project. Pass custom properties (like "AdminEmail" and "AdminPassword") to the DataSeedContext:

await _dataSeeder.SeedAsync(
      new DataSeedContext(tenant?.Id)
          .WithProperty("AdminEmail", "youradmin@yourdomain.com")
          .WithProperty("AdminPassword", "YourSecurePassword123!")
  );

• This ensures that the admin user is created with your specified credentials during the seeding process.

• For microservice solutions, make sure each service that requires initial data has its own data seed contributor, and always run the DbMigrator after adding a new microservice to ensure all necessary data is seeded.

• Do not override or duplicate the default data seed contributors unless you need to change the default behavior. If you do, ensure you replace the original service as documented in ABP's dependency injection guide.

To address the inconsistency in handling external Logo URLs in LeptonX MVC layouts:

• The Empty layout in LeptonX allows external URLs for the logo by directly using the value from BrandingProvider.LogoUrl.
• Other layouts (SideMenuLayout, TopMenuLayout) force the logo URL to be a local path by applying EnsureStartsWith('/') and EnsureStartsWith('~'), and then passing it to Url.Content. This prevents the use of externally hosted images.

This is a known inconsistency. The recommended way to customize or fix this in your project is to override the relevant layout files, as you mentioned. However, for a consistent and maintainable solution that survives ABP package updates, it is best to request this as a feature or bug fix from the ABP team, so that all layouts handle external URLs in a unified way.

You can open an issue or feature request on the official ABP GitHub repository or contact support to suggest that all LeptonX layouts should consistently support external logo URLs via BrandingProvider.

To properly customize the user menu in ABP Angular and avoid issues like "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toggle')" after login, you should ensure that your user menu modifications are performed after the menu is fully initialized and the user is authenticated. The error typically occurs if the menu or its dependencies are not ready when you attempt to patch or remove items, especially right after login when the application state is still being established.

Here is the recommended approach:

1. Use Angular Lifecycle and Observables
   Instead of running your customization in an app initializer or constructor, subscribe to the authentication/user state and perform menu modifications only when the user is authenticated and the menu is available.

2. Example Implementation
   Place this logic in your main component (e.g., app.component.ts) inside ngOnInit:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
   import { UserMenuService, eUserMenuItems } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
   import { RoutesService } from '@abp/ng.core';
   import { Router } from '@angular/router';
   import { ConfigStateService } from '@abp/ng.core';

   @Component({
     selector: 'app-root',
     templateUrl: './app.component.html',
   })
   export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
     constructor(
       private userMenu: UserMenuService,
       private routes: RoutesService,
       private router: Router,
       private configState: ConfigStateService
     ) {}

     ngOnInit(): void {
       this.configState.getOne$('currentUser').subscribe(currentUser => {
         if (currentUser?.isAuthenticated) {
           // Patch MyAccount action
           this.userMenu.patchItem(eUserMenuItems.MyAccount, {
             action: () => {
               const { path } = this.routes.find(item => item.name === 'AbpAccount::ManageProfile');
               this.router.navigateByUrl(path);
             },
           });

           // Remove unwanted items
           [
             eUserMenuItems.LinkedAccounts,
             eUserMenuItems.AuthorityDelegation,
             eUserMenuItems.ExternalLogins,
             eUserMenuItems.SecurityLogs,
             eUserMenuItems.Sessions
           ].forEach(item => this.userMenu.removeItem(item));
         }
       });
     }
   }

3. Why This Works

   • The code waits for the user to be authenticated and the menu to be initialized before making changes.
   • This prevents errors related to undefined menu items or missing DOM elements.
   • It also ensures the menu is always in sync with the current user state, even after login without a page refresh.

4. Do Not Use App Initializer for Menu Customization
   App initializers run before the application is fully bootstrapped and before user/menu state is available, which can cause the issues you observed.

5. Reference
   Official ABP documentation recommends using the UserMenuService in a component after authentication for menu customization.

• Deadlocks during ABP application startup, especially in large Blazor Server apps, can be caused by blocking calls, improper async/await usage, or circular dependencies in module initialization. The "Loaded ABP modules" message indicates the deadlock occurs during or after module initialization.

• Next steps for troubleshooting:

  1. Review all module initialization code for any synchronous blocking calls on async methods (e.g., .Result, .Wait()). These can easily cause deadlocks in ASP.NET Core and ABP's modular startup.
  2. Ensure all async methods are awaited properly and avoid mixing synchronous and asynchronous code in module configuration and initialization.
  3. Check for circular dependencies between modules or services, especially if using Autofac or custom dependency injection logic.
  4. Temporarily disable or comment out custom modules or third-party integrations to isolate the problematic module.
  5. Use Visual Studio's "Tasks" window (as shown in your screenshot) to identify which tasks are blocked and trace their call stacks for clues.
  6. If using background workers or hosted services, ensure they do not block the main thread during startup.

• If the issue is intermittent, it may be related to race conditions or timing issues in module/service initialization.

• In ABP Framework, especially in multi-tenant subdomain scenarios, logout issues can occur if the session or authentication cookies are not properly invalidated across subdomains. This can result in users remaining logged in even after attempting to log out.

To address this, ensure the following in your solution:

1. Cookie Domain Configuration
   Set the authentication cookie domain to a common parent domain (e.g., .yourdomain.com) so that cookies are shared and invalidated across all subdomains (including tenant subdomains).
   In your AuthServer and MVC projects, configure the cookie options:

services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
   {
       options.Cookie.Domain = ".yourdomain.com"; // Use your actual domain
   });

2. Logout Endpoint and Session Termination
   Ensure that the logout endpoint invalidates the authentication session and removes cookies both on the server and client side.
   ABP's default logout may not always clear cookies for all subdomains. You may need to explicitly clear cookies with the correct domain and path.

3. Cross-Subdomain Logout
   If you are using OpenIddict or IdentityServer, ensure the post_logout_redirect_uri and allowed logout URLs are correctly set for all subdomains in your client configuration.

4. Known Issue
   There is a known issue in ABP regarding insufficient session termination on logout, which can cause the session to persist:

   • See: ABP Penetration Test Report: Insufficient Session Termination
   • Track status: [GitHub Issue #19576](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/19576)

5. Browser Cache and Cookie Path
   Make sure the browser is not caching authentication state and that the cookie path is set to / to cover all routes.

6. Testing
   After making these changes, clear your browser cookies and test logout from different subdomains to ensure the session is properly terminated.

To provide a more integrated solution for accessing user claims in the Blazor UI with ABP Framework, consider the following:

1. Claims Propagation in Blazor UI:

   • In ABP, claims are typically loaded into the authentication token (JWT or cookie) at login. The Blazor UI (especially in microservice or separated architectures) does not directly access the Identity database; it relies on the claims present in the authentication context.
   • If you add or modify claims in the database after the user has logged in, these changes will not be reflected in the Blazor UI until the user re-authenticates, unless you use the Dynamic Claims feature.

2. Dynamic Claims Feature:

   • The Dynamic Claims feature in ABP allows claims to be dynamically refreshed on each request, ensuring the latest values are available without requiring re-login.
   • If you have disabled Dynamic Claims, the Blazor UI will only see the claims present at the time of authentication.

3. Recommended Approach:

   • The most "natural" and integrated way in ABP is to use the Dynamic Claims feature. This ensures that claims stored in the database are always up-to-date in the user's principal, both in API and UI projects.
   • If you do not want to use Dynamic Claims, your current workaround (exposing claims via an API endpoint) is the standard approach, as the UI cannot directly access the Identity database.

4. Updating Claims in Tokens:

   • If you are using OpenIddict, you can customize which claims are included in the access_token and id_token by overriding the claims principal factory or using the relevant OpenIddict events.
   • See the official documentation for updating claims in tokens:
     • Updating claims in access_token and id_token (OpenIddict)
     • Claims Principal Factory

Summary:

• For seamless, up-to-date claim access in Blazor UI, enable and configure the Dynamic Claims feature.
• If you keep Dynamic Claims disabled, continue using your API-based approach, as this is the standard pattern in distributed/microservice ABP solutions.

• After upgrading from ABP 9.0.4 to 9.2.3, if the Users page is not showing up in the UI but the backend API returns a successful response (HTTP 200 with a valid PagedResultDto), the issue is likely related to a breaking change or a required migration step in the ABP 9.2 upgrade.

• Please ensure you have followed all steps in the official ABP 9.2 migration guide, especially for the Identity module and UI changes. Some breaking changes in ABP 9.2 may require you to update your front-end code, permissions, or menu configuration.

• Key steps to check:

  1. Clear browser cache and restart your application after the upgrade.
  2. Check permissions: Ensure your user/role has the correct permissions to view the Users page.
  3. Menu configuration: If you have custom menu or navigation code, verify it is compatible with ABP 9.2.
  4. UI dependencies: If you have customizations or use a commercial theme, update all related NPM/NuGet packages to 9.2.x.
  5. Database migrations: Ensure all database migrations have been applied successfully.
  6. Review the migration guide for any additional steps or breaking changes that may affect the Identity module or UI.

• If the API returns data but the UI does not display it, the problem is almost always in the front-end (JavaScript/TypeScript, Razor, or menu/permission configuration).

• The error No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (localhost:44371) indicates that your application is trying to connect to an OpenID Connect authority at https://localhost:44371/.well-known/openid-configuration, but nothing is running on that address/port.

• In a tiered ABP solution, the .Web and .HttpApi.Host projects typically use the .AuthServer project as the OpenID Connect authority. If the .AuthServer is not running, or if the Authority URL in your configuration points to the wrong address, you will get this error.

How to fix:

1. Start the AuthServer

   • Ensure the .AuthServer project is running and accessible at the URL specified in your configuration (e.g., https://localhost:44371).

2. Check Configuration

   • In your .Web and .HttpApi.Host projects, verify the AuthServer:Authority setting in appsettings.json or appsettings.Development.json:

"AuthServer": {
       "Authority": "https://localhost:44371",
       "RequireHttpsMetadata": "false"
     }

• Make sure this matches the actual running URL of your .AuthServer project.

3. Check Launch Settings

   • In Properties/launchSettings.json of the .AuthServer project, confirm the application is set to launch on the correct port (44371).

4. Run All Projects

   • When developing locally, you must run the .AuthServer, .HttpApi.Host, and .Web projects simultaneously. If using Visual Studio, set them all as startup projects.

5. Firewall/Port Conflicts

   • Ensure no firewall or other application is blocking port 44371.

6. Production/Containerized Environments

   • If deploying, ensure the Authority URL is set to the deployed AuthServer's public address, not localhost.

Summary:
This error is caused by the .Web or .HttpApi.Host project being unable to reach the .AuthServer at the configured URL. Make sure the AuthServer is running and the configuration matches its actual address.
