I am trying to set up a multi-tenant OpenId authentication with AzureAD on a web page built on the basic .NET Core 2.2 + React-project template from Visual Studio 2019. Core 2.2 because the authentication middleware on 3.0 did not fire at all with any configuration, this seems to be a common problem and the documentation on Core 3.x authentication is scarce and sometimes even contradictory. I think I have tried everything and I am at loss now.
Here the authentication middleware seems to kick in correctly according to the server output when the API is called:
From javascript:
// Tried also without custom headers and trying to make the middleware handle the thing by itself
fetch('api/SampleData/WeatherForecasts', {
method: "get",
headers: new Headers({
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "true"
})
})
Server output:

But i get always the cors error in the browser when returning a HTTP 200 response:
Access to fetch at 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?client_id=**********************&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A44363%2Fsignin-oidc&response_type=id_token&scope=openid%20profile&response_mode=form_post&nonce=**************************************************&x-client-SKU=ID_NETSTANDARD2_0&x-client-ver=5.3.0.0' (redirected from 'https://localhost:44363/api/SampleData/WeatherForecasts') from origin 'https://localhost:44363' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
I can open the login page manually but the browser fails in redirection because of this. I even published the application as Azure Web App and still get the same CORS error. I think I've set up everything correctly in Startup.cs but nothing seems to work. Then I even set up the cors-policy from Azure Web App to allow * origins and then allow the relevant origins but the problem persists.
Startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);
services.AddSpaStaticFiles(configuration => {
configuration.RootPath = "ClientApp/build";
});
services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options => {
options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
});
services.AddAuthentication(AzureADDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddAzureAD(options => Configuration.Bind("AzureAd", options)).AddCookie();
services.Configure<OpenIdConnectOptions>(AzureADDefaults.OpenIdScheme, options => {
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters {
ValidateIssuer = false,
};
options.Events = new OpenIdConnectEvents {
OnTicketReceived = context => {
return Task.CompletedTask;
},
OnAuthenticationFailed = context => {
context.Response.Redirect("/Error");
context.HandleResponse(); // Suppress the exception
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
};
});
/*
Tried also with this
services.AddCors(setup => {
setup.AddPolicy("corspolicy", policy => {
policy
.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod();
});
});
*/
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment()) {
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
} else {
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseAuthentication(); // Tried putting this and .UseCors to different places
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseSpaStaticFiles();
//app.UseCors("corspolicy");
app.UseCors(policy => {
policy
.AllowAnyOrigin() // Tried with hardcoded origins
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowCredentials() // Tried without this also
.AllowAnyHeader();
});
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseMvc(routes => {
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
app.UseSpa(spa => {
spa.Options.SourcePath = "ClientApp";
if (env.IsDevelopment()) {
spa.UseReactDevelopmentServer(npmScript: "start");
}
});
}
The controller:
[Authorize]
[EnableCors] // Tried with named policy and without EnableCors
[ApiController] // Tried without this
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class SampleDataController : Controller
{
private static string[] Summaries = new[]
{
"Freezing", "Bracing", "Chilly", "Cool", "Mild", "Warm", "Balmy", "Hot", "Sweltering", "Scorching"
};
[HttpGet("[action]")]
public IEnumerable<WeatherForecast> WeatherForecasts()
{
var rng = new Random();
return Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(index => new WeatherForecast {
DateFormatted = DateTime.Now.AddDays(index).ToString("d"),
TemperatureC = rng.Next(-20, 55),
Summary = Summaries[rng.Next(Summaries.Length)]
});
}
// Nonrelevant things omitted
}
