Installation

Install the NuGet package:

dotnet add package Authorizer.DotNet

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Authorizer.DotNet

Quick Start

1. ASP.NET Core API

Add Authorizer to your Program.cs:

using Authorizer.DotNet.Extensions;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add Authorizer services
builder.Services.AddAuthorizer(builder.Configuration, "Authorizer");

// Add authentication & authorization
builder.Services.AddAuthentication("Bearer")
    .AddJwtBearer("Bearer", options =>
    {
        options.Authority = builder.Configuration["Authorizer:AuthorizerUrl"];
        options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false; // Only for development
    });

builder.Services.AddAuthorization();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapControllers();
app.Run();

Configure in appsettings.json:

{
  "Authorizer": {
    "AuthorizerUrl": "https://your-authorizer-instance.com",
    "RedirectUrl": "https://your-app.com/auth/callback",
    "ClientId": "your-client-id",
    "HttpTimeout": "00:00:30"
  }
}

Use in your controllers:

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class AuthController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly IAuthorizerClient _authorizerClient;

    public AuthController(IAuthorizerClient authorizerClient)
    {
        _authorizerClient = authorizerClient;
    }

    [HttpPost("login")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Login([FromBody] LoginRequest request)
    {
        var response = await _authorizerClient.LoginAsync(request);
        
        if (response.IsSuccess)
        {
            return Ok(response.Data);
        }

        return BadRequest(new { errors = response.Errors });
    }
}

2. Blazor Server

Configure in Program.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;
using Authorizer.DotNet.Extensions;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddServerSideBlazor();

// Add Authorizer
builder.Services.AddAuthorizer(builder.Configuration, "Authorizer");

// Add cookie authentication
builder.Services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie(options =>
    {
        options.LoginPath = "/login";
        options.LogoutPath = "/logout";
    });

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapRazorPages();
app.MapBlazorHub();
app.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");

app.Run();

Create a login component:

@page "/login"
@inject IAuthorizerClient AuthorizerClient
@inject NavigationManager Navigation

<EditForm Model="@loginModel" OnValidSubmit="@HandleLogin">
    <div>
        <label>Email:</label>
        <InputText @bind-Value="loginModel.Email" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Password:</label>
        <InputText type="password" @bind-Value="loginModel.Password" />
    </div>
    <button type="submit">Login</button>
</EditForm>

@code {
    private LoginRequest loginModel = new();

    private async Task HandleLogin()
    {
        var response = await AuthorizerClient.LoginAsync(loginModel);
        
        if (response.IsSuccess)
        {
            // Handle successful login
            Navigation.NavigateTo("/");
        }
    }
}

3. Console Application

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Authorizer.DotNet.Extensions;
using Authorizer.DotNet.Models.Requests;

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddAuthorizer(options =>
{
    options.AuthorizerUrl = "https://your-authorizer-instance.com";
    options.RedirectUrl = "http://localhost:3000/callback";
    options.ClientId = "your-client-id";
});

var host = builder.Build();
var authorizerClient = host.Services.GetRequiredService<IAuthorizerClient>();

// Login example
var loginRequest = new LoginRequest
{
    Email = "user@example.com",
    Password = "password123"
};

var response = await authorizerClient.LoginAsync(loginRequest);

if (response.IsSuccess)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Login successful! Access token: {response.Data?.AccessToken}");
    
    // Get user profile
    var profile = await authorizerClient.GetProfileAsync(response.Data!.AccessToken!);
    if (profile.IsSuccess)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Welcome, {profile.Data?.Email}!");
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Login failed: {response.FirstErrorMessage}");
}

Configuration Options

Basic Configuration

services.AddAuthorizer(options =>
{
    options.AuthorizerUrl = "https://your-authorizer-instance.com";
    options.RedirectUrl = "https://your-app.com/auth/callback";
    options.ClientId = "your-client-id";
    options.HttpTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
    options.ApiKey = "your-api-key"; // Optional for server-to-server
});

Advanced Configuration

services.AddAuthorizer(
    options =>
    {
        options.AuthorizerUrl = "https://your-authorizer-instance.com";
        options.RedirectUrl = "https://your-app.com/auth/callback";
        options.ClientId = "your-client-id";
        options.UseSecureCookies = true;
        options.CookieDomain = ".your-domain.com";
        options.ExtraHeaders = new Dictionary<string, string>
        {
            ["X-Custom-Header"] = "custom-value"
        };
    },
    httpClient =>
    {
        // Configure HttpClient
        httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", "MyApp/1.0");
    });

Cross-Domain Authentication

For scenarios where your Authorizer instance and application are on different subdomains:

services.AddAuthorizer(options =>
{
    options.AuthorizerUrl = "https://auth.example.com";
    options.RedirectUrl = "https://app.example.com/auth/callback";
    options.ClientId = "your-client-id";
    
    // Cross-domain configuration
    options.UseCookies = true;                    // Enable cookie handling
    options.UseCredentials = true;                // Include credentials in CORS
    options.CookieDomain = ".example.com";        // Cross-domain cookie sharing
});

The simplified SDK approach provides:

1. Clear, actionable error messages for authentication issues
2. Explicit token-based session validation via ValidateSessionWithTokenAsync
3. Developer control over authentication flow
4. Transparent error handling without hidden automatic retries

Authentication Flows

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE

// 1. Start authorization
var authorizeRequest = new AuthorizeRequest
{
    ResponseType = "code",
    ClientId = "your-client-id",
    RedirectUri = "https://your-app.com/callback",
    Scope = "openid email profile",
    State = "random-state-value",
    CodeChallenge = "generated-code-challenge",
    CodeChallengeMethod = "S256"
};

var authResponse = await client.AuthorizeAsync(authorizeRequest);

// 2. User is redirected to authorization server
// 3. After user consent, exchange code for tokens
var tokenRequest = new GetTokenRequest
{
    GrantType = "authorization_code",
    Code = "received-authorization-code",
    CodeVerifier = "original-code-verifier",
    ClientId = "your-client-id",
    RedirectUri = "https://your-app.com/callback"
};

var tokenResponse = await client.GetTokenAsync(tokenRequest);

Refresh Token Flow

var refreshRequest = new GetTokenRequest
{
    GrantType = "refresh_token",
    RefreshToken = "your-refresh-token",
    ClientId = "your-client-id"
};

var newTokens = await client.GetTokenAsync(refreshRequest);

Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive error handling with structured error responses:

var response = await client.LoginAsync(request);

if (response.IsSuccess)
{
    // Handle success
    var user = response.Data?.User;
    var accessToken = response.Data?.AccessToken;
}
else
{
    // Handle errors
    foreach (var error in response.Errors ?? Array.Empty<AuthorizerError>())
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Error: {error.Message} (Code: {error.Code})");
    }
    
    // Or get the first error message
    var firstError = response.FirstErrorMessage;
}

Exception Handling

try
{
    var response = await client.LoginAsync(request);
}
catch (AuthorizerException ex)
{
    // SDK-specific errors
    Console.WriteLine($"Authorizer error: {ex.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine($"HTTP Status: {ex.StatusCode}");
    
    if (ex.Errors != null)
    {
        foreach (var error in ex.Errors)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"- {error.Message}");
        }
    }
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex)
{
    // Network errors
    Console.WriteLine($"Network error: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (TaskCanceledException ex)
{
    // Timeout errors
    Console.WriteLine($"Request timeout: {ex.Message}");
}

Advanced Usage

Custom HTTP Client Configuration

services.AddAuthorizer(
    options => { /* configure options */ },
    (serviceProvider, httpClient) =>
    {
        // Access to IServiceProvider for advanced scenarios
        var logger = serviceProvider.GetService<ILogger<Program>>();
        
        httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", "MyApp/1.0");
        httpClient.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60);
    });

Using with Polly for Resilience

services.AddAuthorizer(options => { /* configure */ })
    .AddPolicyHandler(Policy.TimeoutAsync<HttpResponseMessage>(10))
    .AddPolicyHandler(Policy
        .Handle<HttpRequestException>()
        .WaitAndRetryAsync(3, retryAttempt => 
            TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Math.Pow(2, retryAttempt))));

Validation Attributes

Request models include built-in validation:

public class LoginRequest
{
    [Required]
    [EmailAddress]
    public string Email { get; set; } = string.Empty;

    [Required]
    public string Password { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

Use with ASP.NET Core model validation:

[HttpPost("login")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login([FromBody] LoginRequest request)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return BadRequest(ModelState);
    }

    var response = await _authorizerClient.LoginAsync(request);
    // ... handle response

Test Best Practices Implemented

1. AAA Pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert structure
2. Descriptive Names: Clear test method names describing scenarios
3. Theory Tests: Data-driven tests with [Theory] and [InlineData]
4. Proper Mocking: Isolated units with controlled dependencies
5. Edge Case Testing: Null inputs, invalid data, boundary conditions
6. Async Testing: Proper async/await patterns with CancellationToken
7. Exception Testing: Verifying proper exception handling
8. Validation Testing: Model validation and data annotation testing
9. XML Documentation: Complete documentation for all test methods and classes

Contributing Tests

When contributing to the project:

1. Write tests first (TDD approach recommended)
2. Maintain high coverage for new features
3. Test both success and failure scenarios
4. Include validation tests for request models
5. Mock external dependencies appropriately
6. Use meaningful test data that reflects real-world usage
7. Add XML documentation to all new test methods and classes

Integration Tests

The SDK includes comprehensive integration tests that verify functionality against real Authorizer instances:

# Run integration tests (uses demo instance by default)
cd tests/Authorizer.DotNet.IntegrationTests/
dotnet test

Configure your instance credentials:

{
  "Authorizer": {
    "AuthorizerUrl": "https://your-authorizer-instance.com",
    "ClientId": "your-client-id",
    "RedirectUrl": "https://your-app.com/auth/callback"
  }
}

Integration test coverage includes:

• ✅ Meta information retrieval
• ✅ User signup and login flows
• ✅ Session management and JWT validation
• ✅ Profile retrieval and user management
• ✅ Password reset workflows
• ✅ OAuth authorization flows
• ✅ Error handling and edge cases
• ✅ Rate limiting and network resilience

The integration tests provide a comprehensive validation that the SDK works correctly with real Authorizer instances, ensuring production readiness.

The test suite ensures reliability and prevents regressions as the SDK evolves.

Performance Considerations

• Connection Pooling: Uses HttpClientFactory for optimal connection reuse
• JSON Serialization: Optimized with System.Text.Json and UTF-8 byte arrays
• Memory Allocation: Minimal allocations with object pooling where appropriate
• Async/Await: Fully asynchronous API with proper ConfigureAwait(false) usage
• Cancellation Support: All methods support CancellationToken for graceful cancellation

Security Best Practices

1. Always use HTTPS in production environments
2. Validate SSL certificates - don't disable certificate validation
3. Store secrets securely - use Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.
4. Implement proper token storage - use secure HTTP-only cookies or encrypted storage
5. Handle token refresh - implement automatic token refresh logic
6. Validate user permissions - always check user roles and permissions
7. Use PKCE - implement PKCE for OAuth flows in public clients

Migration Guide

From JavaScript SDK

The .NET SDK closely mirrors the JavaScript SDK API:

JavaScript:

const response = await authorizerRef.login({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'password123'
});

.NET:

var response = await authorizerClient.LoginAsync(new LoginRequest
{
    Email = "user@example.com",
    Password = "password123"
});

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "AuthorizerOptions.AuthorizerUrl must be configured"

   • Ensure you've configured the AuthorizerUrl in your settings

2. "HTTP 401 Unauthorized"

   • Check your API key or client credentials
   • Verify the access token is included in requests

3. "HTTP 404 Not Found"

   • Verify the AuthorizerUrl is correct
   • Check that your Authorizer instance is running

4. "HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity" (Cross-Domain Issues)

   • Common in scenarios where auth server and app are on different subdomains
   • Use explicit token validation: await client.ValidateSessionWithTokenAsync(token)
   • Configure cross-domain cookies: options.CookieDomain = ".yourdomain.com"
   • Enable CORS credentials: options.UseCredentials = true
   • Check browser console for CORS errors

5. SSL/TLS Errors

   • For development, you may need to disable SSL validation
   • In production, ensure valid SSL certificates

6. Timeout Errors

   • Increase HttpTimeout in configuration
   • Check network connectivity

7. Cross-Domain Authentication Not Working

   • Ensure CookieDomain starts with a dot (e.g., .example.com)
   • Verify CORS is configured on your Authorizer instance
   • Use explicit token validation: ValidateSessionWithTokenAsync(accessToken)
   • Check error messages for actionable troubleshooting guidance

Enable Debug Logging

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Authorizer.DotNet": "Debug"
    }
  }
}

This will log all HTTP requests/responses for debugging.
