I have a web api / mvc hybrid app and I have configured it to use cookie authentication. This works fine for the mvc portion of the application. The web api does enforce the authorization, but instead of returning a 401 - Unauthorised
it returns a 302 - Found
and redirects to the login page. I would rather it returns a 401
. I have attempted to hook into the CookieAuthenticationProvider.OnApplyRedirect
delegate, but this doesn't seem to be called. What have I missed? My current setup is below:
AntiForgeryConfig.UniqueClaimTypeIdentifier = Constants.ClaimTypes.Subject;
JwtSecurityTokenHandler.InboundClaimTypeMap = new Dictionary<string, string>();
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationType = "Cookies",
ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20),
SlidingExpiration = true,
CookieHttpOnly = true,
CookieSecure = CookieSecureOption.Never, //local non ssl-dev only
Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
{
OnApplyRedirect = ctx =>
{
if (!IsAjaxRequest(ctx.Request))
{
ctx.Response.Redirect(ctx.RedirectUri);
}
}
}
});
app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
{
Authority = IdentityConfig.Authority,
ClientId = IdentityConfig.SoftwareClientId,
Scope = "openid profile roles",
RedirectUri = IdentityConfig.RedirectUri,
ResponseType = "id_token",
SignInAsAuthenticationType = "Cookies"
});
