I am using IdentityServer4 with two external Idp's, one with WSFederation (ADFS) and one with SAML.
For the SAML implementation I use the commercial product ComponentSpace SAML 2 for ASP.Net Core. I use the middleware-based config.
Logging it with both Idp's works perfectly, but now I have the situation where, depending on the client, I need to pass extra parameters to the SAML AuthnRequest. I know how to pass this extra parameter in the request (I can use the OnAuthnRequestCreated from the middleware), but what I don't know is how to test at that point from where the request is coming, i.e. from which client.
I have control of the client so I could also pass extra acr_values (which I think can be used to pass custom data), but again I don't know how to get them in the OnAuthnRequestCreated event as shown in the code below.
Any help would be much appreciated.
services.AddSaml(Configuration.GetSection("SAML"));
services.AddAuthentication()
.AddWsFederation("adfs", options =>
{
options.SignInScheme = IdentityServerConstants.ExternalCookieAuthenticationScheme;
//...rest of config (SSO is working)
})
.AddSaml("saml", options =>
{
options.SignInScheme = IdentityServerConstants.ExternalCookieAuthenticationScheme;
//...rest of config (SSO is working)
options.OnAuthnRequestCreated = request =>
{
//Here I would need to know from which client the request is coming (either by client name or url or acr_values or whatever)
//to be able to perform conditional logic. I've checked on the request object itself but the info is not in there
return request;
};
});
Thanks ComponentSpace for the reply. I didn't get it to work directly with your solution by using app.Use((context, next)) => ... but your comment on GetRequiredService pointed me into the direction to find the solution like below. Basically I'm getting the IHttpContextAccessor which I can then use to parse the query string. I then get the ReturnUrl from this query string and use the IIdentityServerInteractionService to get the AuthorizationContext object, which contains what I need to build my custom logic.
So thanks again for pointing me into the right direction.
//build and intermediate service provider so we can get already configured services further down this method
var sp = services.BuildServiceProvider();
services.AddAuthentication()
.AddSaml("SamlIdp", options =>
{
options.SignInScheme = IdentityServerConstants.ExternalCookieAuthenticationScheme;
options.OnAuthnRequestCreated = request =>
{
var httpContextAccessor = sp.GetService<IHttpContextAccessor>();
var queryStringValues = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.QueryString.Value);
var interactionService = sp.GetService<IIdentityServerInteractionService>();
var authContext = interactionService.GetAuthorizationContextAsync(queryStringValues["ReturnUrl"]).Result;
//authContext now contains client info and other useful stuff to help build further logic to customize the request
return request;
};
});
