I have a .Net Core 2.0 application that uses JWT tokens to authorize the user. This all works fine but I want to have some sort of API Key mechanism to allow other applications to integrate but I cannot seem to get this to work with the current authentication.
Code:
Startup.cs
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory,
IMemoryCache cache, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
app.UseAuthentication();
ApiKeyMiddlewear(app, serviceProvider);
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
routes.MapSpaFallbackRoute(
name: "spa-fallback",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
});
}
}
private static void ApiKeyMiddlewear(IApplicationBuilder app, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
if (context.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments(new PathString("/api")))
{
// Let's check if this is an API Call
if (context.Request.Headers["ApiKey"].Any())
{
// validate the supplied API key
// Validate it
var headerKey = context.Request.Headers["ApiKey"].FirstOrDefault();
var settingsProvider = serviceProvider.GetService<ISettingsService<OmbiSettings>>();
var ombiSettings = settingsProvider.GetSettings();
var valid = ombiSettings.ApiKey.Equals(headerKey, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);
if (!valid)
{
context.Response.StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized;
await context.Response.WriteAsync("Invalid API Key");
}
else
{
var identity = new GenericIdentity("API");
identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("Origin", "Api"));
identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("role", "Admin"));
var principal = new GenericPrincipal(identity, new[] {"ApiUser"});
context.User = principal;
await next();
}
}
else
{
await next();
}
}
else
{
await next();
}
});
}
}
So in the code above you can see that I am intercepting the HTTP requests that provide a header called ApiKey and then validate it to what I have stored. This part all works but when calling an API Method with the Authorize
attribute this does not work and I get the following error logs:
2017-09-19 08:15:17.280 +01:00 [Information] Request starting HTTP/1.1 POST http://localhost:52038/api/v1/Identity/ application/json 372
2017-09-19 08:15:21.967 +01:00 [Information] Authorization failed for user: "API".

2017-09-19 08:15:21.981 +01:00 [Information] Executing ForbidResult with authentication schemes ([]).
2017-09-19 08:15:21.991 +01:00 [Information] AuthenticationScheme: "Bearer" was forbidden.

2017-09-19 08:15:22.004 +01:00 [Information] Request finished in 4723.032ms 403
Now I'm guessing this is to do with the request only supplying a ApiKey
header and not a Authorization
header with a correct JWT token.
How am I able to only supply a ApiKey header and when there is no ApiKey header then fallback to requiring a JWT token?
