RCommon.Web 2.4.1

RCommon.Web

ASP.NET Core integration for the RCommon security abstractions. Provides HttpContextCurrentPrincipalAccessor which resolves the current ClaimsPrincipal from HttpContext.User instead of Thread.CurrentPrincipal, making ICurrentUser, ICurrentClient, ITenantIdAccessor, and all claims-based security abstractions work correctly in web applications.

Features

• HTTP context principal accessor -- HttpContextCurrentPrincipalAccessor reads the authenticated user from IHttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User
• One-line DI registration -- WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessorForWeb() registers all security services wired to the HTTP context
• Drop-in replacement -- use instead of WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessor() in ASP.NET Core applications
• Targets .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10

Installation

dotnet add package RCommon.Web

Usage

Why This Package?

The default ThreadCurrentPrincipalAccessor (from RCommon.Security) reads from Thread.CurrentPrincipal, which is null in ASP.NET Core. This means ICurrentUser, ClaimsTenantIdAccessor, and all claims-based services silently return null in web apps.

HttpContextCurrentPrincipalAccessor bridges this gap by reading from HttpContext.User.

Registration

Replace WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessor() with WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessorForWeb() in your ASP.NET Core application:

using RCommon;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddRCommon(config =>
{
 // Use this instead of config.WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessor()
 config.WithClaimsAndPrincipalAccessorForWeb();
});

This registers:

• HttpContextCurrentPrincipalAccessor as ICurrentPrincipalAccessor
• IHttpContextAccessor (via AddHttpContextAccessor())
• ICurrentUser, ICurrentClient, ITenantIdAccessor (same as the non-web variant)

Using Security Services

Once registered, inject ICurrentUser, ICurrentClient, or ITenantIdAccessor in your controllers or services:

using RCommon.Security.Users;
using RCommon.Security.Claims;

public class OrderController : ControllerBase
{
 private readonly ICurrentUser _currentUser;
 private readonly ITenantIdAccessor _tenantIdAccessor;

 public OrderController(ICurrentUser currentUser, ITenantIdAccessor tenantIdAccessor)
 {
 _currentUser = currentUser;
 _tenantIdAccessor = tenantIdAccessor;
 }

 [HttpGet]
 public IActionResult GetUserInfo()
 {
 return Ok(new
 {
 UserId = _currentUser.UserId,
 TenantId = _tenantIdAccessor.GetTenantId(),
 Roles = _currentUser.Roles,
 IsAuthenticated = _currentUser.IsAuthenticated
 });
 }
}
