Scenario is Angularjs 1.6.5 app with a c# WebApi. Authentication is done against AAD
with the use of angular-adal.js
. Up to now, everything Works perfectly, as users are able to login through AAD and WebApi accepts the token.
For this specific app, the roles are in an External application, to which the WebApi has Access. I have been able to add the role claims (after fetching them from the External app) with the use of WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
with the following code inside the ConfigureOAuth(IAppBuilder app)
:
app.UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication(
new WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
{
TokenValidationParameters = new System.IdentityModel.Tokens.TokenValidationParameters
{
ValidAudience = clientId
},
//Audience = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ida:ClientID"],
Tenant = tenant,
Provider = new OAuthBearerAuthenticationProvider
{
OnValidateIdentity = async context =>
{
// Retrieve user JWT token from request.
var authorizationHeader = context.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
var userJwtToken = authorizationHeader.Substring("Bearer ".Length).Trim();
// Get current user identity from authentication ticket.
var authenticationTicket = context.Ticket;
var identity = authenticationTicket.Identity;
if (identity.FindFirst(System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.Role) == null)
{
var user = identity.FindFirst("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/upn").Value;
Cis.bll.Xrm.bllSystemUserRoles bllSystemUserRoles = new Cis.bll.Xrm.bllSystemUserRoles();
var su = bllSystemUserRoles.getByEmail(user);
//var roleClaim = new System.Security.Claims.Claim(System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.Role, su.stringRoles);
foreach (var item in su.Roles)
{
identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim(System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.Role, item.xrmName));
}
}
}
}
});
So for each httpRequest that Angularjs does to the API, the previous function looks up the roles for the user and adds the role claims. With this implementation, I am able to use an AuthorizeAttribute in the Controller methods, restricting Access to only certain roles like so:
[CustomAuthorize(Constants.Roles.resourcesAdministrator)]
I find this way highly inneficient, because with each httpRequest, the API has to fetch the roles of the user from the database (or whatever persistance way is implemented).
What I want to do is to read the user roles just once, and then be able to use them in the API with every subsequent request. Is there a way to add the claims to the token AFTER we recieve the token for AAD?
BTW, I could just add a Roles property to each model, or something like that, but it is not what I'm looking for.
If you have any other ideas or suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.
