Hi Team,

There is direct URL access issue in asp.net zero project, where user can access static files without authentication.

For example any one can access this URL: d6be4d82.demo.aspnetzero.com/assets/sampleFiles/ImportUsersSampleFile.xlsx

We want to authentication checks for this URL, guide us how we can achieve this.

Thanks,

Kind Regards, Kumar Prashant

    Hi,

    You can modify the StaticFile middleware as shown below;

    app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
            {
                OnPrepareResponse = (context) =>
                {
                    if (!context.Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && context.Context.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/assets"))
                    {
                        throw new Exception("Not authenticated");
                    }
                }
            });
    

    Or you can even write a custom middle ware which must be placed before staticFiles middleware;

    app.Use(async (context, next) =>
                   {
                       if (!context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
                           && context.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/assets"))
                       {
                           throw new Exception("Not authenticated");
                       }
                       await next.Invoke();
                   });
