Set LogonParametersType in MiddleTier Security WinForms

created 15 days ago

I am trying to add a Custom Logon Parameter to an XAF .NET 9.0 WinForms Application using Middle Tier Security.
The following code in Startup.cs (builder.Security) does not compile

Code
.AddPasswordAuthentication(options =>
{
    options.IsSupportChangePassword = true;
    options.**LogonParametersType** = typeof(CustomLogonParameters);
    options.**Events**.OnAuthenticate = context =>
    {
        CustomLogonParameters logonParameters = (CustomLogonParameters)context.LogonParameters;
        ...
    };
});

Error : MiddleTierPasswordAuthenticationOptions does not contain a definition for LogonParametersType
MiddleTierPasswordAuthenticationOptions does not contain a definition for Events

Neither does this

Code
.**AddAuthenticationProvider**<AuthenticationStandardProviderOptions, ApplicationAuthenticationStandardProvider>(options =>
{
    options.IsSupportChangePassword = true;
    options.LogonParametersType = typeof(CustomLogonParameters);
});

Error : MiddleTierPasswordAuthenticationOptions does not contain a definition for AddAuthenticationProvider

How do I fix this, What am I likely doing wrong?

Hello,

To complete this task, create a custom authentication class as demonstrated here: Customize Standard Authentication Behavior and Supply Additional Logon Parameters (.NET Applications) | XAF: Cross-Platform .NET App UI & Web API | DevExpress Documentation. I created a simple example for you to illustrate how to achieve this with a middle-tier app of v24.2.6.

The result:

Please try this solution and let me know if it helps.

      In your documentation from the link you provided it says

      Pass Custom Classes to the Security System

      If You Used the OnAuthenticate Event

      In the application’s Startup.cs files, set the provider’s LogonParametersType option to CustomLogonParameters within the AddPasswordAuthentication method call.
      File: MySolution.Blazor.Server\Startup.cs, MySolution.Win\Startup.cs, (MySolution.MiddleTier\Startup.cs), MySolution.WebApi\Startup.cs

      Based on your example it seams I should ignore this instruction as your example does not do this.

          Hello,

          Thank you for your patience.

          It should also be possible to use this option. I modified my example so it doesn't use CustomAuthentication and set the logon parameters via the AuthenticationStandardProviderOptions.LogonParametersType property. Please pay attention to the change made in the setLog\setLog.MiddleTier\JWT\WebApiAuthenticationController.cs file.

          Let me know if this helps.

          Regards,
          Andrey
