  • What is your product version? v11.3.0
  • What is your product type (Angular or MVC)? Angular
  • What is product framework type (.net framework or .net core)? .net core

Repro steps:

  1. Login on host tenant as admin
  2. Provide "Tenants"."Login for tenants" permission but remove "Users"."Login for users" permission to a user (see screenshot)
  3. Login as this user
  4. Go to tenants overview, click on any tenant's "Actions" button, click on "Login as this tenant"
  5. Chose any user of this tenant and login

Expected behaviour: User is logged in as impersonated user in selected tenant

Actual behaviour: User is completely logged out and login screen is displayed

Observation: If the user is also granted "User"."Login for users" permission, login for tenant is working correctly. However, with this permission the user is also granted to impersonate other users on host including admin, which is not a valid work around for us.

Can you please verify whether this still a bug in newest version or if I should create an issue on GitHub?

We are using login with OIDC with both id_token (implicit flow) and are planning to use token (auth code flow). For auth code flow, the idea is to get a token from the authorization server on front-end side and exchange an access token on a secured back-end channel. However, ZERO implementation handles all of this in front-end.

  1. ZERO application (front-end) redirects user to auth server
  2. After authentication, user is returned to ZERO application (front-end) along with an authorization token
  3. ZERO application (front-end) loads .well-known/openid-configuration and jwks.json from auth server in order to validate issuer
  4. ZERO application (front-end) calls token endpoint of auth server in order to retrieve access token

Instead of (3) and (4) performing in front-end, authorization token from (2) should be passed to back-end, and (3) and (4) should be executed in back-end accordingly.

Anyways, it is not clear to me how ZERO application currently is calling token endpoint from front-end side either by exposing client secret to the front-end - which would be bad -, or without providing client secret - which is supposed not to work? In a short test, I see that client secret is not provided when calling token endpoint, which then fails.

Comments:

  • I suggest to request well-known (e.g. for retrieving endpoints) already in back-end and pass this information to the frontend (instead of directly accessing well-known from front-end side)
  • I suggest to request well-known and jwks.json for issuer and token validation from back-end side and also perform validation there
  • Correct handling in back-end instead of handling in front-end would fix CORS issues like https://support.aspnetzero.com/QA/Questions/10156/PingIdentity-open-id-connect-CORS-error (some of our clients have CORS disabled for security reasons, e.g. if they are only supporting auth code flow; as such, calling token endpoint (and well-known) from front-end side is not allowed)
  • Our clients trust in a secure software platform. I think most of ZERO customers that use auth code flow are not aware of this vulnerability. Please handle this request with very high prio as I think it is a significant security issue to expose access tokens to the front-end
  • product version 10.3
  • product type => Angular
  • product framework type => .net core

Hello, we are using multiple db contexts inside our application in order to separate different software functionalities (different modules). The original db context delivered by the template is still used for all original and predefined ZERO-template entities.

We now tried to switch on entity history which is working fine for the original db context and entities managed by it ("User", "OrganizationUnit" etc.). However, changes to entities handled by one of our additional db contexts are not tracket et all, although we have added them to the list of tracked items in EntityHistoryHelper. Is there any documentation or tutorial on how to use entity history with multiple db contexts?

Our wish is to have all tracked data inside the original db context (tables dbo.AbpEntityChanges, dbo.AbpEntityChangeSets, dbo.AbpEntityPropertyChanges) whilst the persistence of entities itself is handled in our module-specific db contexts. But we are happy about every suggestion leading to a working approach!

Many thanks!
