I created an ASP.NET Core 5 Blazor Server App with a B2C Login. The following is the start-up code. I see a B2C login page coming up when I run the application. How can I prevent the authentication during the startup? I want the user to login by clicking the Login link only from the top menu.
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
// For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(Configuration.GetSection("AzureAdB2C"));
services.AddControllersWithViews()
.AddMicrosoftIdentityUI();
services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
// By default, all incoming requests will be authorized according to the default policy
options.FallbackPolicy = options.DefaultPolicy;
});
services.AddRazorPages();
services.AddServerSideBlazor()
.AddMicrosoftIdentityConsentHandler();
services.AddSingleton<WeatherForecastService>();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
});
}
}
I tested your code and it looks like options.FallbackPolicy = options.DefaultPolicy;
is causing the automated redirect. Comment that out and give it a try, it should work. I also created a ASP.NET Core 5 Blazor Server app and tested this piece of code. After commenting the line mentioned above, I do get the Login button available for the user to click on it.
services.AddControllersWithViews()
.AddMicrosoftIdentityUI();
services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
// By default, all incoming requests will be authorized according to the default policy
//options.FallbackPolicy = options.DefaultPolicy;
});
