Blazor WebAssembly App with Individual Accounts and ASP.NET Core Hosted - Token request - "error": "unauthorized_client"

Creating a new Blazor WebAssembly App with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.9.4 with these specifications: Target Framework .NET 5.0, Authentication Type Individual Accounts and ASP.NET Core Hosted:

enter image description here

Gives a Server project with these NuGets at version 5.0.5:

Startup.cs contains this code:

services.AddIdentityServer()
    .AddApiAuthorization<ApplicationUser, ApplicationDbContext>();

services.AddAuthentication()
    .AddIdentityServerJwt();

Reading the blog post ASP.NET Core Authentication with IdentityServer4 from Microsoft I should be able to retrieve a token with a sample request that looks like this:

POST /connect/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:5000
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 958df72b-663c-5638-052a-aed41ba0dbd1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=password&username=Mike%40Contoso.com&password=MikesPassword1!&client_id=myClient&scope=myAPIs

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/asp-net-core-authentication-with-identityserver4/

Creating a request that looks like that but for the solution created:

POST /connect/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:44388
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 153

grant_type=password&username=example%40example.com&password=Password1&client_id=WebApplication4.Client&scope=WebApplication4.ServerAPI%20openid%20profile

This request returns HTTP Status 400 Bad Request with body:

{
    "error": "unauthorized_client"
}

enter image description here

I'm pretty sure the values are correct since I got client_id and scope from the request used to sign in to the web application. That flow does not use grant_type=password though. Example request from login:

https://localhost:44388/Identity/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=/connect/authorize/callback?client_id=WebApplication4.Client&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A44388%2Fauthentication%2Flogin-callback&response_type=code&scope=WebApplication4.ServerAPI%20openid%20profile&state=12345&code_challenge=12345&code_challenge_method=S256&response_mode=query

Confirmation that the user exists and works:

What am I missing?

TLDR:

Remove this from appsettings.json:

"Clients": {
  "WebApplication4.Client": {
    "Profile": "IdentityServerSPA"
  }
}

Edit Startup.cs:

services.AddIdentityServer()
    .AddApiAuthorization<ApplicationUser, ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
    {
        options.Clients.AddIdentityServerSPA("WebApplication4.Client", builder =>
        {
            builder.WithRedirectUri("/authentication/login-callback");
            builder.WithLogoutRedirectUri("/authentication/logout-callback");
        });
        //Or Duende.IdentityServer.Models.Client
        options.Clients.Add(new IdentityServer4.Models.Client
        {
            ClientId = "WebApplication4.Integration",
            AllowedGrantTypes = { GrantType.ResourceOwnerPassword },
            //Use Configuration.GetSection("MySecretValue").Value; to get a value from appsettings.json
            ClientSecrets = { new Secret("MySecretValue".Sha256()) },
            AllowedScopes = { "WebApplication4.ServerAPI", "openid", "profile" }
        });
    });

This request will work:

POST /connect/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:44388
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 168

grant_type=password&username=example%40example.com&password=Password1!&client_id=WebApplication4.Integration&scope=WebApplication4.ServerAPI&client_secret=MySecretValue

Long answer:

I started out with trying to get a better error messages with Logging.

I added the code below to public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) in Program.cs:

.ConfigureLogging(logging =>
{
    logging.ClearProviders();
    logging.AddConsole();
})

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/logging/?view=aspnetcore-5.0

When debugging I could then show output from the Server application when I made the request. It looked like this:

info: IdentityServer4.Hosting.IdentityServerMiddleware[0]
      Invoking IdentityServer endpoint: IdentityServer4.Endpoints.TokenEndpoint for /connect/token

        "TimeStamp": "2021-04-29T11:47:07Z",
        "ProcessId": 8436,
        "LocalIpAddress": "::1:44388",
        "RemoteIpAddress": "::1"
      }

        "GrantType": "password",
        "Raw": {
          "grant_type": "password",
          "username": "[email protected]",
          "password": "***REDACTED***",
          "client_id": "WebApplication4.Client",
          "scope": "WebApplication4.ServerAPI"
        }
      }
info: IdentityServer4.Events.DefaultEventService[0]
      {
        "ClientId": "WebApplication4.Client",
        "ClientName": "WebApplication4.Client",
        "Endpoint": "Token",
        "GrantType": "password",
        "Error": "unauthorized_client",
        "Category": "Token",

        "TimeStamp": "2021-04-29T11:47:07Z",
        "ProcessId": 8436,
        "LocalIpAddress": "::1:44388",
        "RemoteIpAddress": "::1"
      }

The error message to look at is Client not authorized for resource owner flow, check the AllowedGrantTypes setting{ client_id = WebApplication4.Client }.

enter image description here

With this error message I found this Question:

Question about ASP.NET Core 3 Identity / Identity Server / SPA support for Resource Owner Password Grant Type

There I could read

found that the allowed grant type of password was not being added when the profile is set to IdentityServerSPA.

Looking at appsettings.json the application uses that profile:

"IdentityServer": {
  "Clients": {
    "WebApplication4.Client": {
      "Profile": "IdentityServerSPA"
    }
  }
},

Looking at Microsoft Application profiles what it actually does is this:

  • The redirect_uri defaults to /authentication/login-callback.
  • The post_logout_redirect_uri defaults to /authentication/logout-callback.
  • The set of scopes includes the openid, profile, and every scope defined for the APIs in the app.
  • The set of allowed OIDC response types is id_token token or each of them individually (id_token, token).
  • The allowed response mode is fragment.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/identity-api-authorization?view=aspnetcore-5.0#application-profiles

Before starting to modify this I visited the URL https://localhost:44388/.well-known/openid-configuration to get the current configuration. It looked like this and specifically says grant_types_supported: ...password:

    "code_challenge_methods_supported": [
        "plain",
        "S256"
    ],
    "request_parameter_supported": true
}

For some reason IdentityServer Clients can not be configured in code and in appsettings.json. I therefore removed Clients from appsettings.json and added this to Startup.cs:

services.AddIdentityServer()
    .AddApiAuthorization<ApplicationUser, ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
    {
        options.Clients.AddIdentityServerSPA("WebApplication4.Client", builder =>
        {
            builder.WithRedirectUri("/authentication/login-callback");
            builder.WithLogoutRedirectUri("/authentication/logout-callback");
        });
        options.Clients.Add(new IdentityServer4.Models.Client
        {
            ClientId = "WebApplication4.Integration",
            AllowedGrantTypes = { GrantType.ResourceOwnerPassword },
            AllowedScopes = { "WebApplication4.ServerAPI", "openid", "profile" }
        });
    });

Without WithRedirectUri and WithLogoutRedirectUri it did not work, OidcConfigurationController got an exception for ClientRequestParametersProvider.GetClientParameters(HttpContext, clientId); with System.InvalidOperationException: 'Sequence contains no elements'. For some reason this is fixed automatically when using appsettings.json.

I now got the error message when posting to /connect/token:

{
    "error": "invalid_client"
}

But I got a much better error in the log:

Invalid client configuration for client WebApplication4.Integration: Client secret is required for password, but no client secret is configured.

Added a secret to Startup.cs:

services.AddIdentityServer()
    .AddApiAuthorization<ApplicationUser, ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
    {
        options.Clients.AddIdentityServerSPA("WebApplication4.Client", builder =>
        {
            builder.WithRedirectUri("/authentication/login-callback");
            builder.WithLogoutRedirectUri("/authentication/logout-callback");
        });
        options.Clients.Add(new IdentityServer4.Models.Client
        {
            ClientId = "WebApplication4.Integration",
            AllowedGrantTypes = { GrantType.ResourceOwnerPassword },
            //Use Configuration.GetSection("MySecretValue").Value; to get a value from appsettings.json
            ClientSecrets = { new Secret("MySecretValue".Sha256()) },
            AllowedScopes = { "WebApplication4.ServerAPI", "openid", "profile" }
        });
    });

And the request:

POST /connect/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:44388
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 168

grant_type=password&username=example%40example.com&password=Password1!&client_id=WebApplication4.Integration&scope=WebApplication4.ServerAPI&client_secret=MySecretValue

It finally worked and the normal login flow worked as well!
