Purpose: I work with a third party that has implemented an OAuth2 authorization code flow. The goal is for an authenticated user in my app to be able to access areas of a this third parties app without having to sign in to the third party. I have provided the third party with our authorization url, a clientId and a callback url (not sure how this is used).
I am trying to wire up a basic authorization code flow using OAuth2, but I am stuck on an invalid_grant error and am having trouble determining how the process is intended to work.
Here is what I have implemented thus far:
In the startup class I configure my OAuth server to include an AuthorizeEndpointPath and an AuthorizationCodeProvider:
var allowInsecureHttp = bool.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AllowInsecureHttp"]);
var oAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
{
AllowInsecureHttp = allowInsecureHttp,
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/oauth2/token"),
AuthorizeEndpointPath = new PathString("/oauth2/authorize"),
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
Provider = new CustomOAuthProvider(HlGlobals.Kernel),
AccessTokenFormat = new CustomJwtFormat(_baseUrl, HlGlobals.Kernel),
AuthorizationCodeProvider = new SimpleAuthenticationTokenProvider()
};
The CustomOAuthProider contains the following overrides:
public override Task ValidateClientRedirectUri(OAuthValidateClientRedirectUriContext context)
{
//We validated that Client Id and redirect Uri are what we expect
if (context.ClientId == "123456" && context.RedirectUri.Contains("localhost"))
{
context.Validated();
}
else
{
context.Rejected();
}
return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
}
public override Task AuthorizeEndpoint(OAuthAuthorizeEndpointContext context)
{
var ci = new ClaimsIdentity("Bearer");
context.OwinContext.Authentication.SignIn(ci);
context.RequestCompleted();
return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
}
public override Task ValidateClientAuthentication(OAuthValidateClientAuthenticationContext context)
{
string clientId;
string clientSecret;
Guid clientIdGuid;
// Validate the context
context.Validated();
return Task.FromResult<object>(0);
}
Finally, the code in the SimpleAuthenticationTokenProvider is implemented as follows:
public SimpleAuthenticationTokenProvider() : base()
{
this.OnCreate = CreateCode;
this.OnReceive = ReceiveCode;
}
private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, string> _authenticationCodes = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, string>(StringComparer.Ordinal);
public void CreateCode(AuthenticationTokenCreateContext context)
{
context.SetToken(Guid.NewGuid().ToString("n") + Guid.NewGuid().ToString("n"));
_authenticationCodes[context.Token] = context.SerializeTicket();
}
public void ReceiveCode(AuthenticationTokenReceiveContext context)
{
string value;
_authenticationCodes.TryGetValue(context.Token, out value);
context.DeserializeTicket(value);
}
I have wired up a sample request inside of Postman. When I execute the postman oauth2 Authroization Code grant type the following methods from above fire sequentially:
- ValidateClientRedirectUri
- AuthorizeEndpoint
- ValidateClientAuthentication
- ReceiveCode
I am getting back an 'invalid_grant' error from postman, and no authorization code has been returned.
Can anyone point out where I may be going wrong here?
Secondly, how is the callbackurl/redirect url supposed to be used? Is it a fallback to the login page if the user has not authenticated?
UPDATE I see that a 'code' is coming back in the querystring attached to the redirectURL on the response. Should the redirectURL be a page on the third-party site?
How is this code exchanged for a token?
UPDATE 2 Another question: At what phase do I read/parse the code? I can see the code coming in on the request querystring in my GrantClientCredentials method. Should I just parse it from the querystring and validate? At what point should ReceiveCode be called?
