Dangl.Identity Client Libraries

Changelog
Online Documentation

Dangl.Identity is an OpenID / OAuth2 capable server that offers single sign on functionalities. It's primary is available at https://identity.dangl-it.com with a fallback at https://identity.dangl-it.de.
It works with all OpenID Connect compatible clients and it's configuration is available here.
The preview is available at https://identity-dev.dangl-it.com.

The Dangl.Identity.Client libraries offer specialised classes and utilities that make integrating and connecting with Dangl.Identity easy.

Default Configuration

By default, the identity servers are expected to be reachable at https://identity.dangl-it.com and https://identity.dangl-it.de. Fallback happens automatically to the latter one if the former is unreachable.

Dangl.Identity.Client

This project includes the DanglIdentityLoginHandler that offers JWT / OAuth2 login and refresh functionalities for clients that have the ResourceOwnerPasswordGrant enabled. The DanglIdentityClientCredentialsLoginHandler can be used with clients that have the ClientCredentials grant enabled, for example in server-side applications.

Both login handlers require an instance of HttpClient to be injected at creation. It is advised that the HttpClientFactory from the Microsoft.Extensions.Http package is used to efficiently manage the lifetime of HttpClient instances.

Angular Client

Web applications that use the integrated Dangl.Identity JWT endpoints from the Dangl.Identity.Client.MVC package can use the @dangl/angular-dangl-identity-client npm package.

This package offers a generated client for the Dangl.Identity JWT endpoints and manages local storage of JWT tokens. The client assumes that the endpoint is available on the current host, otherwise it uses an injection parameter:

@Optional() @Inject(DANGL_IDENTITY_CLIENT_API_BASE_URL) baseUrl?: string

Install Dependencies

The package requires a peer dependency of @auth0/angular-jwt which must be manually installed in the consuming project.

Reference Module

Just import the DanglIdentityModule in your app.

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { DanglIdentityModule } from '@dangl/angular-dangl-identity-client';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    DanglIdentityModule
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Login / Logout

Here's an example login functionality:

import { AuthenticationService,
  AuthenticationMessenger } from '@dangl/angular-dangl-identity-client';

this.isAuthenticatedSubscription = this.authenticationMessenger
      .isAuthenticated
      .subscribe(ia => this.isAuthenticated = ia);

login() {
    this.requestEnRoute = true;

    this.authenticationService
      .loginWithToken(this.credentials.identifier, this.credentials.password)
      .subscribe(r => {
        this.requestEnRoute = false;
        if (r) {
          this.showLoginError = false;
          this.errorCount = 0;
          this.router.navigateByUrl('/');
        } else {
          this.showLoginError = true;
          this.errorCount++;
        }
      });
  }

AuthenticationMessenger

The AuthenticationMessenger class can be used to watch for changes in the authentication. It will automatically try to refresh the token if a refresh token is present and the current token is expired on load.

Assembly Strong Naming & Usage in Signed Applications

This module produces strong named assemblies when compiled. When consumers of this package require strongly named assemblies, for example when they themselves are signed, the outputs should work as-is. The key file to create the strong name is adjacent to the csproj file in the root of the source project. Please note that this does not increase security or provide tamper-proof binaries, as the key is available in the source code per Microsoft guidelines
