--adminpassword: [string value] admin password
--adminemail: [string value] admin email
--title: [string value] for title and footer of the administration in UI
--adminrole: [string value] for name of admin role, that is used to authorize the administration
--adminclientid: [string value] for client name, that is used in the IdentityServer4 configuration for admin client
--adminclientsecret: [string value] for client secret, that is used in the IdentityServer4 configuration for admin client
--dockersupport: [boolean value] include docker support

How to configure the Administration - IdentityServer4 and Asp.Net Core Identity

Follow these steps for setup project to use existing IdentityServer4 and Asp.Net Core Identity

Template uses following list of nuget packages

Available nuget packages

Running in Visual Studio

Set Startup projects:
- Skoruba.IdentityServer4.Admin
- Skoruba.IdentityServer4.Admin.Api
- Skoruba.IdentityServer4.STS.Identity

Configuration of Administration for Deployment

Administration UI preview

This administration uses bootstrap 4
Admin UI

Security token service (STS)

Forms:

Cloning

git clone https://github.com/skoruba/IdentityServer4.Admin

Running via Docker

It is possible to run Admin UI through the docker.

Docker setup

DNS

We need some resolving capabilities in order for the project to work. The domain skoruba.local is used here to represent the domain this setup is hosted on. The domain-name needs to be FQDN (fully qualified domain name).

Thus first, we need the domain skoruba.local to resolve to the docker-host machine. If you want this to work on your local machine only, use the first option.

DNS on docker-host machine only

Edit your hosts file:

On Linux: \etc\hosts
On Windows: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add the following entries:

127.0.0.1 skoruba.local sts.skoruba.local admin.skoruba.local admin-api.skoruba.local

This way your host machine resolves skoruba.local and its subdomains to itself.

Certificates

We also need certificates in order to serve on HTTPS. We'll make our own self-signed certificates with mkcert.

If the domain is publicly available through DNS, you can use Let's Encypt. Nginx-proxy has support for that, which is left out in this setup.

MkCert

Create the root certificate

Use mkcert to generate local self-signed certificates.

On windows mkcert -install must be executed under elevated Administrator privileges. Then copy over the CA Root certificate over to the project as we want to mount this in later into the containers without using an environment variable.

cd shared/nginx/certs
mkcert --install
copy $env:LOCALAPPDATA\mkcert\rootCA.pem ./cacerts.pem
copy $env:LOCALAPPDATA\mkcert\rootCA.pem ./cacerts.crt

Create the `skoruba.local` certificates

Generate a certificate for skoruba.local with wildcards for the subdomains. The name of the certificate files need to match with actual domain-names in order for the nginx-proxy to pick them up correctly. We want both the crt-key and the pfx version.

cd shared/nginx/certs
mkcert -cert-file skoruba.local.crt -key-file skoruba.local.key skoruba.local *.skoruba.local
mkcert -pkcs12 skoruba.local.pfx skoruba.local *.skoruba.local

This docker setup is come from this repository - thanks to bravecobra. 😊

Run docker-compose

Project contains the docker-compose.vs.debug.yml and docker-compose.override.yml to enable debugging with a seeded environment.
The following possibility to get a running seeded and debug-able (in VS) environment:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

It is also possible to set as startup project the project called docker-compose in Visual Studio.

Docker images

Docker images will be available also in docker hub

Publish Docker images to Docker hub

Check the script in build/publish-docker-images.ps1 - change the profile name according to your requirements.

Installation of the Client Libraries

cd src/Skoruba.IdentityServer4.Admin
npm install

cd src/Skoruba.IdentityServer4.STS.Identity
npm install

Bundling and Minification

The following Gulp commands are available:

gulp fonts - copy fonts to the dist folder
gulp styles - minify CSS, compile SASS to CSS
gulp scripts - bundle and minify JS
gulp clean - remove the dist folder
gulp build - run the styles and scripts tasks

EF Core & Data Access

The solution uses these DbContexts:
- AdminIdentityDbContext: for Asp.Net Core Identity
- AdminLogDbContext: for logging
- IdentityServerConfigurationDbContext: for IdentityServer configuration store
- IdentityServerPersistedGrantDbContext: for IdentityServer operational store
- AuditLoggingDbContext: for Audit Logging
- IdentityServerDataProtectionDbContext: for dataprotection

Run entity framework migrations:

NOTE: Initial migrations are a part of the repository.

It is possible to use powershell script in folder build/add-migrations.ps1.
This script take two arguments:
- --migration (migration name)
- --migrationProviderName (provider type - available choices: All, SqlServer, MySql, PostgreSQL)
For example: .\add-migrations.ps1 -migration DbInit -migrationProviderName SqlServer

Available database providers:

SqlServer
MySql
PostgreSQL

It is possible to switch the database provider via appsettings.json:

"DatabaseProviderConfiguration": {
        "ProviderType": "SqlServer" 
    }

Connection strings samples for available db providers:

PostgreSQL:

Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=IdentityServer4Admin;User Id=sa;Password=#;

MySql:

server=localhost;database=IdentityServer4Admin;user=root;password=#

We suggest to use seed data:

In Program.cs -> Main, uncomment DbMigrationHelpers.EnsureSeedData(host) or use dotnet CLI dotnet run /seed or via SeedConfiguration in appsettings.json
The Clients and Resources files in identityserverdata.json (section called: IdentityServerData) - are the initial data, based on a sample from IdentityServer4
The Users file in identitydata.json (section called: IdentityData) contains the default admin username and password for the first login

Authentication and Authorization

Change the specific URLs and names for the IdentityServer and Authentication settings in appsettings.json
In the controllers is used the policy which name is stored in - AuthorizationConsts.AdministrationPolicy. In the policy - AuthorizationConsts.AdministrationPolicy is defined required role stored in - appsettings.json - AdministrationRole.
With the default configuration, it is necessary to configure and run instance of IdentityServer4. It is possible to use initial migration for creating the client as it mentioned above

Azure Key Vault

It is possible to use Azure Key Vault and configure it in the appsettings.json with following configuration:

"AzureKeyVaultConfiguration": {
    "AzureKeyVaultEndpoint": "",
    "ClientId": "",
    "ClientSecret": "",
    "UseClientCredentials": true
  }

If your application is running in Azure App Service, you can specify AzureKeyVaultEndpoint. For applications which are running outside of Azure environment it is possible to use the client credentials flow - so it is necesarry to go to Azure portal, register new application and connect this application to Azure Key Vault and setup the client secret.

It is possible to use Azure Key Vault for following parts of application:

Application Secrets and Database Connection Strings:

It is necesarry to configure the connection to Azure Key Vault and allow following settings:

"AzureKeyVaultConfiguration": {
    "ReadConfigurationFromKeyVault": true
  }

Dataprotection:

Enable Azure Key Vault for dataprotection with following configuration:

"DataProtectionConfiguration": {
    "ProtectKeysWithAzureKeyVault": false
  }

The you need specify the key identifier in configuration:

"AzureKeyVaultConfiguration": {
    "DataProtectionKeyIdentifier": ""
  }

IdentityServer certificate for signing tokens:

It is possible to go to Azure Key Vault - generate new certificate and use this certificate name below:

"AzureKeyVaultConfiguration": {
    "IdentityServerCertificateName": ""
  }

Logging

We are using Serilog with pre-definded following Sinks - white are available in serilog.json:
- Console
- File
- MSSqlServer
- Seq

{
    "Serilog": {
        "MinimumLevel": {
            "Default": "Error",
            "Override": {
                "Skoruba": "Information"
            }
        },
        "WriteTo": [
            {
                "Name": "Console"
            },
            {
                "Name": "File",
                "Args": {
                    "path": "log.txt",
                    "rollingInterval": "Day"
                }
            },
            {
                "Name": "MSSqlServer",
                "Args": {
                    "connectionString": "...",
                    "tableName": "Log",
                    "columnOptionsSection": {
                        "addStandardColumns": [ "LogEvent" ],
                        "removeStandardColumns": [ "Properties" ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

Audit Logging

This solution uses audit logging via - https://github.com/skoruba/AuditLogging (check this link for more detal about this implementation 😊)
In the Admin UI project is following setup:

services.AddAuditLogging(options => { options.Source = auditLoggingConfiguration.Source; })
                .AddDefaultHttpEventData(subjectOptions =>
                    {
                        subjectOptions.SubjectIdentifierClaim = auditLoggingConfiguration.SubjectIdentifierClaim;
                        subjectOptions.SubjectNameClaim = auditLoggingConfiguration.SubjectNameClaim;
                    },
                    actionOptions =>
                    {
                        actionOptions.IncludeFormVariables = auditLoggingConfiguration.IncludeFormVariables;
                    })
                .AddAuditSinks<DatabaseAuditEventLoggerSink<TAuditLog>>();

            // repository for library
            services.AddTransient<IAuditLoggingRepository<TAuditLog>, AuditLoggingRepository<TAuditLoggingDbContext, TAuditLog>>();

            // repository and service for admin
            services.AddTransient<IAuditLogRepository<TAuditLog>, AuditLogRepository<TAuditLoggingDbContext, TAuditLog>>();
            services.AddTransient<IAuditLogService, AuditLogService<TAuditLog>>();

Admin Configuration

Admin and STS can be customized without editing code in appsettings.json under AdminConfiguration section

Themes

Ui can be customized using themes integrated from bootswatch.

By default, configuration value is null to use default theme. if you want to use a theme, just fill the lowercase theme name as configuration value of Theme key.

You can also use your custom theme by integrating it in your project or hosting css on your place to pass the url in CustomThemeCss key. (Note that custom theme override standard theme)

Important Note: Theme can use external ressources which caused errors due to CSP. If you get errors, please make sure that you configured correctly CSP section in your appsettings.json with thrusted domains for ressources.

  "AdminConfiguration": {
    "PageTitle": "Skoruba IdentityServer4",
    "HomePageLogoUri": "~/images/skoruba-icon.png",
    "FaviconUri": "~/favicon.ico",
    "Theme": "united",
    "CustomThemeCss": null,
    ...
  },

Audit Logging Configuration

In appsettings.json is following configuration:

"AuditLoggingConfiguration": {
    "Source": "IdentityServer.Admin.Web",
    "SubjectIdentifierClaim": "sub",
    "SubjectNameClaim": "name",
    "IncludeFormVariables": false
  }

The Skoruba.IdentityServer4.Admin.BusinessLogic layer contains folder called Events for audit logging. In each method in Services is called function LogEventAsync like this:

await AuditEventLogger.LogEventAsync(new ClientDeletedEvent(client));

Final audit log is available in the table dbo.AuditLog.

Login Configuration

In Skoruba.IdentityServer4.STS.Identity - in appsettings.json is possible to specify which column will be used for login (Username or Email):

  "LoginConfiguration": {
    "ResolutionPolicy": "Username"
  }

or using Email:

  "LoginConfiguration": {
    "ResolutionPolicy": "Email"    
  }

Register Configuration

In Skoruba.IdentityServer4.STS.Identity - in appsettings.json is possible to disable user registration (default: true):

 "RegisterConfiguration": {
    "Enabled": false
  }

How to configure API & Swagger

For development is running on url - https://localhost:44302 and swagger UI is available on url - https://localhost:44302/swagger
For swagger UI is configured a client and an API in STS:

"AdminApiConfiguration": {
  "IdentityServerBaseUrl": "https://localhost:44310",
  "OidcSwaggerUIClientId": "skoruba_identity_admin_api_swaggerui",
  "OidcApiName": "skoruba_identity_admin_api"
}

Swagger UI contains following endpoints:

How to configure an external provider in STS

In Skoruba.IdentityServer4.STS.Identity/Helpers/StartupHelpers.cs - is method called AddExternalProviders which contains the example with GitHub, AzureAD configured in appsettings.json:

"ExternalProvidersConfiguration": {
        "UseGitHubProvider": false,
        "GitHubClientId": "",
        "GitHubClientSecret": "",
        "UseAzureAdProvider": false,
        "AzureAdClientId": "",
        "AzureAdTenantId": "",
        "AzureInstance": "",
        "AzureAdSecret": "",
        "AzureAdCallbackPath": "",
        "AzureDomain": "" 
}

It is possible to extend ExternalProvidersConfiguration with another configuration properties.
If you use DockerHub built image, you can use appsettings to configure these providers without changing the code
- GitHub
- AzureAD

List of external providers for ASP.NET Core:

Azure AD

Great article how to set up Azure AD:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-v2-aspnet-core-webapp

Email service

It is possible to set up emails via:

SendGrid

In STS project - in appsettings.json:

"SendgridConfiguration": {
        "ApiKey": "",
        "SourceEmail": "",
        "SourceName": ""
    }

SMTP

"SmtpConfiguration": {
        "From": "",
        "Host": "",
        "Login": "",
        "Password": ""
    }

CSP - Content Security Policy

If you want to use favicon or logo not included/hosted on the same place, you need to declare trusted domain where ressources are hosted in appsettings.json.

  "CspTrustedDomains": [
    "google.com",
    "mydomain.com"
  ],

Health checks

AdminUI, AdminUI Api and STS contain endpoint health, which check databases and IdentityServer.
