Bitwarden.Server.Sdk.Authentication

About

This package enables the ability to have Bitwarden flavored authentication.

How to use

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddBitwardenAuthentication();
builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    options.AddPolicy("MyPolicy",
        policy => policy
            .RequireAuthenticatedUser()
            .RequireClaim("my_claim", "my_value")
    );
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseRouting();

app.UseBitwardenAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapGet("/", () =>
{
    return Results.Ok("Hello!");
})
    .RequireAuthorization("MyPolicy");

app.Run();

The UseBitwardenAuthentication() replaces the need for UseAuthentication but it does NOT replace the need for UseAuthorization().

Customization

Authentication can be configured via any property in the JwtBearerOptions class through the Authentication:Schemes:Bearer configuration section. The only required setting is Authentication:Schemes:Bearer:Authority which should be a URL of the Bitwarden Identity service you trust. If you need to change the MapInboundClaims, TokenValidationParameters.ValidateAudience, TokenValidationParameters.ValidTypes, or TokenValidationParameters.NameClaimType options you can not do so through the previous mentioned configuration section and must instead do something like:

services.AddOptions<JwtBearerOptions>(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .PostConfigure(options =>
    {
        options.MapInboundClaims = true;
    });

Below is an example of configuring the authority through JSON configuration.

{
  "Authentication": {
    "Schemes": {
      "Bearer": {
        "Authority": "https://identity.bitwarden.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
