I'm trying to convert my MVC app to Giraffe, but there is one final boss: Facebook login.
I've been able to get every part working except for the challenge:
public IActionResult ExternalLogin(string returnUrl = null)
{
var properties = _signInManager.ConfigureExternalAuthenticationProperties("Facebook", $"/mycallbackurl?returnUrl={returnUrl}");
return new ChallengeResult("Facebook", properties);
}
How do I do this in Giraffe?
When I simply return challenge "Facebook"
the flow works fine, except when I come back to my callback endpoint
let! info = signInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync()
info is null.
The console even says
info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies.CookieAuthenticationHandler[10]
AuthenticationScheme: Identity.External signed in
How can I get hold of this event to sign in my user using signInManager.SignInAsync
?
Startup.cs
services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddCookie(o =>
{
o.Cookie.Expiration = TimeSpan.FromDays(16);
o.Cookie.Name = "_myt";
o.SlidingExpiration = true;
}
)
.AddFacebook(o =>
{
o.AppId = Configuration["Authentication:Facebook:AppId"];
o.AppSecret = Configuration["Authentication:Facebook:AppSecret"];
});
signInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync()
relies on the challenge being issued with the callback url included, which Giraffe's challenge doesn't do.
A solution is to roll your own challenge
:
let externalLogin : HttpHandler =
fun (next : HttpFunc) (ctx : HttpContext) ->
task {
let provider = "Facebook"
let returnUrl =
(ctx.TryGetQueryStringValue "returnUrl"
|> Option.map (sprintf "?returnurl=%s")
|> Option.defaultValue "")
let items = // This must be a mutable dictionary to work
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string>()
items.Add("LoginProvider", provider)
let props = AuthenticationProperties(items, RedirectUri = (sprintf "/myCallbackEndpointWhereILogTheUserIn%s" returnUrl))
do! ctx.ChallengeAsync(provider, props)
return! next ctx
}
