Custom auth "The oauth state was missing or invalid"

My team and I created a custom OAuth to be used for external SSO. It works on localhost but as soon as we take it up to our staging environment we get an "The oauth state was missing or invalid." error.
We used "https://auth0.com/" for testing.
To try and troubleshoot this we overrode the following built in methods and via breakpoints can see that Query state comes back null.
protected override string BuildChallengeUrl(AuthenticationProperties properties, string redirectUri);
protected override async Task<HandleRequestResult> HandleRemoteAuthenticateAsync();
I need some help figuring out why this is a problem on staging and not on local as we are a bit stumped. A theory we have is that the decoder used inside these methods change on var properties = Options.StateDataFormat.Unprotect(state); and thus because they aren't the same they can't decode each others states. I will put our implementation below, if its required I can paste the built in methods as well but I can't fathom the problem lying with the built in functions.

foreach (var customAuthItem in customAuthList)
{
services.AddAuthentication().AddCustom(customAuthItem.CampaignId, options =>
{
options.SignInScheme = IdentityServerConstants.ExternalCookieAuthenticationScheme;

await Log.UserProfileErrorAsync(Logger, response, Context.RequestAborted);
throw new HttpRequestException("An error occurred while retrieving the user profile from Custom.");
}
var payloadString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Serilog.Log.Debug($"CustomAuthenticationHandler.CreateTicketAsync: PAYLOAD: {payloadString}");
using var payload = JsonDocument.Parse(payloadString);// Context.RequestAborted));
var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
var context = new OAuthCreatingTicketContext(principal, properties, Context, Scheme, Options, Backchannel, tokens, payload.RootElement);
context.RunClaimActions();
await Events.CreatingTicket(context);
return new AuthenticationTicket(context.Principal!, context.Properties, Scheme.Name);
}
EDIT: The error is received after successful login and after being redirected back to our site. I can see through sentry breadcrumbs that the states are correct so it seems to be a decryption issue.

It turns out the problem is because I AddAuthentication() twice, it ignores the follow-up registration of the auth methods, resulting in only one OAuth working. This is a bit of a problem because we want to support multiple SSO options for our clients, but might need to figure out a different approach. I am just glad I finally know where the problem is.

VssConnection to VSTS always prompts for credentials

I am using the Visual Studio client tools for calling the VSTS REST APIs in a command line utility. This utility can be run several times for different commands (Copy, Delete, applying policies, etc.)
I'm creating the VssConnection like such
public static VssConnection CreateConnection(Uri url, VssCredentials credentials = null)
{
credentials = credentials ?? new VssClientCredentials();
credentials.Storage = new VssClientCredentialStorage();
var connection = new VssConnection(url, credentials);
connection.ConnectAsync().SyncResult();
return connection;
}
According to the docs, this should be caching the credentials so that you won't get prompted again when running my command line tool. But I get prompted every time I run my command line utility and the VssConnection tries to connect.
Is there anyway to cache the credentials so that the user won't be prompted every time they run the command line?
Should be noted that if I don't dispose the VssConnection, it will not prompt the next time I run it.
UPDATE
To be clear, the issue isn't caching the VssClientCredentials instance once the connection is created as that object is attached to the VssConnection object. The issue is caching the user token between execution of the program, i.e. on the local machine so that the next time the utility is executed from the command line the user doesn't have to once again type in their credentials. Similar to how you don't have to always log into Visual Studio each time you fire it up.

So I found a working solution that seems to be exactly what I wanted. If there is a better solution, please feel free to post.
Solution: Since VssClientCredentials.Storage property is expecting a class that implements IVssCredentialStorage, I created a class that implements that interface by deriving from the stock VssClientCredentialStorage class.
It then overrides the methods around retrieving and removing tokens to manage them based on an expiration lease which is stored with the token in the registry.
If the token is retrieved and has an expired lease, the token is removed from the storage and null is returned and the VssConnection class display a UI forcing the user to enter their credentials. If the token isn't expired, the user is not prompted and the cached credential is used.
So now I can do the following:
Call my utility from the command line for the first time
Supply credentials to the VSTS client prompt
Run the utility again from the command line without being prompted!
Now I've built into my utility a standard lease expiration but the user can alter it with a command line option. Also the user can clear the cached credentials as well.
The key is in the RemoveToken override. The call to the base class is what removes it from the registry, so if you bypass that (in my case if the lease hasn't expired) then the registry entry will remain. This allows the VssConnection to use the cached credentials and not prompt the user each time the program is executed!
Example of the calling code:
public static VssConnection CreateConnection(Uri url, VssCredentials credentials = null, double tokenLeaseInSeconds = VssClientCredentialCachingStorage.DefaultTokenLeaseInSeconds)
{
credentials = credentials ?? new VssClientCredentials();
credentials.Storage = GetVssClientCredentialStorage(tokenLeaseInSeconds);
var connection = new VssConnection(url, credentials);
connection.ConnectAsync().SyncResult();
return connection;
}
private static VssClientCredentialCachingStorage GetVssClientCredentialStorage(double tokenLeaseInSeconds)
{
return new VssClientCredentialCachingStorage("YourApp", "YourNamespace", tokenLeaseInSeconds);
}

Unauthorized GET request for .NET Core RESTful web API

Yesterday I coded myself a simple RESTful web API in .NET Core (solution named Vault) with a single method that gets the profile of the user depending only on the Windows user name. I now have a second solution that will call some requests to my self-hosting service previously mentioned. When I use Postman, I can retrieve the data with ease when I call a GET on my only method in Vault, but when I build the URI in Mainframe and execute, I get an Unauthorized error and it confuses me as Vault does not require specific login like username and password. I also put a breakpoint in Vault and unlike when I'm using Postman, it does not reach my code when calling via the Mainframe solution.
Here where is build my REST request and call the service (GetProfile())
public VaultApiClient(ConfigurationManagerWrap configuration)
{
this.configuration = configuration;
this.client = new RestClient(new Uri(this.configuration.GetAppSetting<string>(ConfigurationKeys.VaultApiURL)));
}
/// <summary>
/// The get profile.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>
/// The <see cref="UserProfile"/>.
/// </returns>
public UserProfile GetProfile()
{
var request = new RestRequest("profile") { Method = Method.GET};
//request.AddParameter("profile", ParameterType.UrlSegment);
var response = this.client.Execute(request);
if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
throw new Exception(
$"Could not get the user profile ({response.StatusCode} {response.StatusDescription})");
}
return RestJsonSerializer.Default.Deserialize<UserProfile>(response);
}
Im hosting local so the base URI, aka ConfigurationKeys.VaultApiURL, is localhost5000/api/
My Mainframe controller :
public HomeController()
: this(new VaultApiClient(new ConfigurationManagerWrap()))
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="HomeController"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="vaultApiClient">
/// The vault api client.
/// </param>
public HomeController(IVaultApiClient vaultApiClient)
{
this.vaultApiClient = vaultApiClient;
}
/// <summary>
/// The index.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>
/// The <see cref="ActionResult"/>.
/// </returns>
public ActionResult Index()
{
var profile = this.GetProfile();
this.ViewBag.IsEdit = false;
this.ViewBag.IsError = false;
this.ViewBag.ErrorMessage = "";
if (this.TempData.ContainsKey("IsEdit"))
{
this.ViewBag.IsEdit = true;
this.TempData.Remove("IsEdit");
if (this.TempData.ContainsKey("ErrorMessage"))
{
this.ViewBag.IsError = true;
this.ViewBag.ErrorMessage = this.TempData["ErrorMessage"];
this.TempData.Remove("ErrorMessage");
}
}
return this.View("Index", profile);
}
private UserProfile GetProfile()
{
return this.vaultApiClient.GetProfile();
}
And here is the vault controller method that handles the GET request in question:
[HttpGet]
[Route("/api/Profile")]
[Produces(typeof(UserProfile))]
public IActionResult SearchProfile()
{
try
{
if (!this.currentuser.IsAuthenticated)
{
throw new Exception("This service does not support anonymous calls.");
}
var profile = Task.Run(() => this.personalizationService.GetUserProfileAsync(this.currentuser.GetCurrentWindowsIdentityName)).Result;
var userProfile = this.persistenceToDataModelConverter.Convert(profile);
userProfile.UserAdLogin = this.currentuser.GetCurrentWindowsIdentityName;
return this.Ok(userProfile);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return this.NotFound(ex);
}
}
Lastly, here are a few pics of before and when the error is thrown.

Credential information must be provided with client request in order to authenticate with the server.

Web API custom authentication filter

I am trying to make a custom filter for my web api controllers part of a ASP.NET MVC 5 website/application to check the requests headers for a specific token which i have stored in the database. Most examples I found were containing user credentials and then the user was authenticated using identity. Not exactly what I am looking for.
This is the tutorial I found and am currently following.
The web API should only handle "external" HTTP calls, the website side will have its own controllers presently (but may be subject to change).
This filter should interface with identity 2 system already present if possible.
What I do is that I send user credentials then, assign a token to the user and then I want to use that token to authenticate the request. Is there a way I can just filter the request based on the token or do I need to use Owin identity and their token management. I am using a mobile client (currently iOS, will include android too) to make the calls. Any example or tutorial I could refer to ?
The token is currently a random combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols.
Thank you.
P.S. I can post code snippets and stuff where needed.
Edit: The HTTPRequests will be filtered based on whether they contain a token present within our database/system. Requests that do contain a token or are not present within our system will receive unauthorised error (401?)

Suppose you thought that sending user name and password to every request is not good.Refer my below implementation with out user name and password, since we are don't send user name and password with every request.
public class AuthenticationFilter : AuthorizationFilterAttribute
{
/// <summary>
/// read requested header and validated
/// </summary>
/// <param name="actionContext"></param>
public override void OnAuthorization(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
var identity = FetchFromHeader(actionContext);
if(identity != null)
{
var securityService = actionContext.ControllerContext.Configuration.DependencyResolver.GetService(typeof(ILoginService)) as ILoginService;
if (securityService.TokenAuthentication(identity))
{
CurrentThread.SetPrincipal(new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(identity), null), null, null);
}
else
{
actionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized);
return;
}
}
else
{
actionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
return;
}
base.OnAuthorization(actionContext);
}
/// <summary>
/// retrive header detail from the request
/// </summary>
/// <param name="actionContext"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private string FetchFromHeader(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
string requestToken = null;
var authRequest = actionContext.Request.Headers.Authorization;
if (authRequest != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(authRequest.Scheme) && authRequest.Scheme == "Basic")
requestToken = authRequest.Parameter;
return requestToken;
}
}

You can make this filter unit testable by injecting the service dependencies via property(property injection). For custom attributes, we don't want to pass the dependencies via constructor. We want the attribute easy to
use. To rewrite what #Raj already started, it can look like this:
public class AuthenticationFilter : AuthorizationFilterAttribute
{
[Dependency]
public ILoginService LoginService { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// read requested header and validated
/// </summary>
/// <param name="actionContext"></param>
public override void OnAuthorization(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
var identity = FetchFromHeader(actionContext);
if (identity != null)
{
if (LoginService.TokenAuthentication(identity))
{
CurrentThread.SetPrincipal(new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(identity), null), null, null);
//IPrincipal principal = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(identity), new string[] { "myRole" });
//Thread.CurrentPrincipal = principal;
//HttpContext.Current.User = principal;
}
else
{
actionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized);
return;
}
}
else
{
actionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
return;
}
base.OnAuthorization(actionContext);
}
/// <summary>
/// retrive header detail from the request
/// </summary>
/// <param name="actionContext"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private string FetchFromHeader(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
string requestToken = null;
var authRequest = actionContext.Request.Headers.Authorization;
if (authRequest != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(authRequest.Scheme) && authRequest.Scheme == "Basic")
requestToken = authRequest.Parameter;
return requestToken;
}
}

2-legged OAuth with DotNetOpenAuth and Twitter. Getting a 401 error

I'm trying to get 2-legged oauth with twitter working to be able to retrieve tweets to display on websites. For this i want to use DotNetOpenAuth. To get me started i used the OAuthConsumer example that comes with DotNetOpenAuth.
Below is the codebehind code i have now. Here i use either the 3-legged part or the 2-legged part. The 3-legged part works fine (this is based on Twitter.aspx from the sample). The 2-legged part (based on GoogleApps2Legged.aspx) however gives a 401 error on twitter.RequestNewClientAccount();
private string AccessToken
{
get { return (string)Session["TwitterAccessToken"]; }
set { Session["TwitterAccessToken"] = value; }
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
// 3 legged
var twitter = new WebConsumer(TwitterConsumer.ServiceDescription, TwitterConsumer.ShortTermUserSessionTokenManager);
//// Is Twitter calling back with authorization?
var accessTokenResponse = twitter.ProcessUserAuthorization();
if (accessTokenResponse != null)
{
this.AccessToken = accessTokenResponse.AccessToken;
}
else if (this.AccessToken == null)
{
// If we don't yet have access, immediately request it.
twitter.Channel.Send(twitter.PrepareRequestUserAuthorization());
}
var response = TwitterConsumer.GetUserTimeLine(twitter, this.AccessToken);
// 2 legged
var twitter = new WebConsumer(TwitterConsumer.ServiceDescription, TwitterConsumer.ShortTermUserSessionTokenManager);
this.AccessToken = twitter.RequestNewClientAccount();
var response = twitter.PrepareAuthorizedRequestAndSend(TwitterConsumer.GetUserTimelineStatusEndpoint, this.AccessToken);
}
}

Twitter doesn't really support what I call 2-legged OAuth. It only does "0-legged OAuth". Since the ConsumerBase.RequestNewClientAccount method that you're calling is for 2-legged OAuth, it's failing.
For 0-legged OAuth, you need to create an InMemoryTokenManager that is prefilled with your consumer key, secret and access token and secret. Then pass that token manager into your ConsumerBase-derived type (WebConsumer or DesktopConsumer) and begin making authorized calls.
Or much more simply, you can download the DotNetOpenAuth v4.3 preview that includes an DelegatingHandler where you can completely skip the above steps and just inject your key, token and secrets into one simple method and start making calls with HttpClient that are automatically OAuth 1 signed.
