🧱 Configuration Rules

🧩 Configuration Issues

Solution Structure

---

✅ Prerequisites

• .NET 10 SDK
• Node.js 18+ and npm (required for the React client)
• SQL Server (default LocalDB) or PostgreSQL
• Open IdentityServer 7.4.7

Note: Using older .NET versions may cause 502.5 errors on IIS or application startup failures.

---

📦 Installation via dotnet new Template

🔒 Database note:
This template includes default EF migrations. Review them and back up your database before applying.

ℹ️ Migration note from IdentityServer4.Admin:
The UserSecretsId for Admin, Admin API, and STS projects remains the same as in the older Skoruba.IdentityServer4.Admin solution to ease config migration. If you still have secrets from the old project on your machine, they will be reused (e.g., ApplySeed could point at your old DB). Change or clear user secrets if you need isolation.

1. Install the template

dotnet new install Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Templates::0.1.0

2. Create a new project

dotnet new toralux.open-isadmin \
  --name MyProject \
  --title MyProject \
  --adminemail "admin@example.com" \
  --adminpassword "Passw0rd-123" \
  --adminrole MyRole \
  --adminclientid MyClientId \
  --adminclientsecret MyClientSecret \
  --dockersupport true \
  --requirepushedauthorization true

Template Options

Option	Description
--name	Project name
--title	Admin UI title and footer text
--adminemail	Initial admin email
--adminpassword	Initial admin password
--adminrole	Role name used for admin authorization
--adminclientid	Client ID for the Admin UI OIDC client
--adminclientsecret	Client secret for the Admin UI OIDC client
--dockersupport	Include Docker support (true / false)
--requirepushedauthorization	Require PAR for admin client (true / false, default false). Note: Pushed Authorization Requests require Duende IdentityServer Business Edition upstream and are not used by Open IdentityServer. More info

🚀 Quick Start – Local Development

Note: This section is for developers who want to clone and contribute to the repository. If you want to use the template, see the section above.

The solution contains three runnable services:

Service	Project	Purpose
STS	Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.STS.Identity	IdentityServer + authentication
Admin API	Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api	REST API backend
Admin UI	Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin	SPA host

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/toralux/Open.IdentityServer.Admin
cd Open.IdentityServer.Admin

2. Install React dependencies (first run only)

cd src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Client
npm install
cd ../..

3. Run the services

Open three terminals and run:

# Terminal 1: STS (IdentityServer)
cd src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.STS.Identity
dotnet run

# Terminal 2: Admin API
cd src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api
dotnet run

# Terminal 3: Admin UI Host
cd src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin
dotnet run

4. Default local URLs

Service	URL
STS	https://localhost:44310
Admin API	https://localhost:44302
Admin UI	Check console output (usually https://localhost:7127)

By default, database migrations and seed data are enabled in Admin API (ApplyDatabaseMigrations, ApplySeed).

---

🐳 Running via Docker (Optional)

Tip: For the fastest onboarding, use the dotnet run approach above. Docker requires custom domain and certificates.

DNS Configuration

Update your hosts file to resolve toralux.local:

Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Linux / macOS: /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 toralux.local sts.toralux.local admin.toralux.local admin-api.toralux.local

Certificates Setup

Use mkcert to generate self-signed local certificates.

Windows

cd shared/nginx/certs
mkcert --install
copy $env:LOCALAPPDATA\mkcert\rootCA-key.pem ./cacerts.pem
copy $env:LOCALAPPDATA\mkcert\rootCA.pem ./cacerts.crt

# Generate toralux.local certificates
mkcert -cert-file toralux.local.crt -key-file toralux.local.key toralux.local *.toralux.local
mkcert -pkcs12 toralux.local.pfx toralux.local *.toralux.local

macOS / Linux

cd shared/nginx/certs
mkcert -install

# Copy root certificates (adjust paths for your system)
# macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/mkcert/
# Linux: ~/.local/share/mkcert/
cp "$(mkcert -CAROOT)/rootCA-key.pem" ./cacerts.pem
cp "$(mkcert -CAROOT)/rootCA.pem" ./cacerts.crt

# Generate toralux.local certificates
mkcert -cert-file toralux.local.crt -key-file toralux.local.key toralux.local *.toralux.local
mkcert -pkcs12 toralux.local.pfx toralux.local *.toralux.local

Run Docker Compose

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

Docker setup is based on bravecobra's repository – thanks! 😊

🧩 Identity Mapping Customization

Identity DTO/entity mapping in Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.BusinessLogic.Identity is handled by IdentityDataMapper.

By default:

• Standard ASP.NET Core Identity fields are mapped explicitly.
• Additional custom fields are mapped automatically when DTO and entity use the same property name and compatible type.
• Internal Identity fields (PasswordHash, SecurityStamp, ConcurrencyStamp, NormalizedUserName, NormalizedEmail) are protected during DTO → entity updates.

1. Same-name custom properties

If your custom UserDto / RoleDto and IdentityUser / IdentityRole share the same custom property name, no extra configuration is needed.

2. Different property names (customizers)

When names differ, implement customizers and register them in DI:

services
    .AddAdminAspNetIdentityServices<...>()
    .AddIdentityUserMappingCustomizer<ApplicationUserDto, ApplicationUser, ApplicationUserMappingCustomizer>()
    .AddIdentityRoleMappingCustomizer<ApplicationRoleDto, ApplicationRole, ApplicationRoleMappingCustomizer>();

Customizers implement:

• IIdentityUserMappingCustomizer<TUserDto, TUser>
• IIdentityRoleMappingCustomizer<TRoleDto, TRole>

If your custom user DTO exposes additional audit-sensitive fields, also implement IIdentityUserAuditSanitizer<TUserDto> on the user mapping customizer. The built-in audit sanitizer always redacts PasswordHash, SecurityStamp, and ConcurrencyStamp by property name.

3. Full mapper override

If you need full control, replace the default IIdentityDataMapper<...> registration in DI with your own implementation after calling AddAdminAspNetIdentityServices. Custom mapper implementations do not need to implement audit sanitization for backward compatibility, but they can implement IIdentityAuditDataMapper<TUserDto, TUsersDto> when they need custom audit redaction. Without it, audit logging falls back to the built-in redaction for PasswordHash, SecurityStamp, and ConcurrencyStamp.

📚 Solution Overview

The solution contains unit and integration tests for all major components.

STS

Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.STS.Identity – IdentityServer with ASP.NET Core Identity

Admin API

Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api – REST API with Swagger

Admin UI

• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin – .NET host
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI – UI services
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Spa – Precompiled React assets
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Client – React source code

Business Logic

• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.BusinessLogic – IdentityServer DTOs, services, repositories
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.BusinessLogic.Identity – Identity DTOs, services, repositories
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.BusinessLogic.Shared – Shared logic

Entity Framework

• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework – Core EF entities
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.Configuration – Entity configurations
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.Extensions – EF extensions
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.Identity – Identity repositories
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.Shared – DbContexts
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.SqlServer – SQL Server migrations
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.EntityFramework.PostgreSQL – PostgreSQL migrations

Shared

• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Shared – Shared DTOs
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Shared.Configuration – Shared configuration

Tests

• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UnitTests – Unit tests
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api.IntegrationTests – API integration tests
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.STS.IntegrationTests – STS integration tests
• Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Client.IntegrationTests – Playwright UI integration tests (OIDC login flow + Admin UI assertions)

UI Integration Tests (Playwright)

The UI E2E test project is located in:

• tests/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Client.IntegrationTests

To run it:

cd tests/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.UI.Client.IntegrationTests
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
npm test

Default expected runtime services:

• STS: https://localhost:44310
• Admin API: https://localhost:44302
• Admin UI host:
  • Kestrel-hosted app: https://localhost:7127
  • Vite dev server / default E2E_ADMIN_URL for Playwright: https://localhost:50445

Important: The seeded OIDC client redirect URIs and CORS origins in src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api/identityserverdata.json use https://localhost:50445 by default. If you run the Admin UI on https://localhost:7127 instead, update the client configuration (or the Playwright E2E_ADMIN_URL) so redirects and CORS validation continue to work.

The tests load credentials and expected client data from seed files:

• src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api/identitydata.json
• src/Toralux.Open.IdentityServer.Admin.Api/identityserverdata.json

---

🚦 Roadmap & Changelog

For detailed release history and upcoming features, see CHANGELOG.md.

Fork roadmap:

• Playwright E2E spec-sync (specs drifted from the SPA during the retarget)
• Single-glyph package icon variant for better 32px legibility
• Track upstream skoruba releases — absorbed via the documented replay workflow in CONTRIBUTING.md
• Track Open.IdentityServer releases (server-side sessions and PAR are on their roadmap)

For the upstream project's own roadmap (3.x–6.x plans: DTO refactoring, claims management UI, Minimal API rewrite), see their README.

---

Releasing

Publishing is fully tag-driven via the publish workflow:

• Prerelease (beta): push a tag like v0.2.0-beta.1 — packages publish as prerelease versions (0.2.0-beta.1), visible on NuGet only with --prerelease.
• Stable: push v0.2.0 — same pipeline, standard visibility.
• The tag is the single source of truth for the version — no manual version bumps.
• Convention: beta tags for upstream-sync releases and anything not yet proven in the wild; stable tags after a beta has cooked (or for trivially safe fixes).

Auth is keyless via nuget.org trusted publishing: the workflow exchanges a GitHub OIDC token for a 1-hour API key — no NUGET_API_KEY secret to store or rotate. Requires a one-time policy on nuget.org (username → Trusted Publishing → this repo + publish.yml).
