IUserService<TId,TEntityId,TUser>

Members

Namespace: ASPSecurityKit
Assembly: ASPSecurityKit.dll

Summary

Extends IUserService and provides a generic interface for authenticating, authorizing and managing user identities.

Generic Types
Name Description
TId The type of key property for IUser<TId>.
TEntityId The type of entityId property for IPermit<TId>.
TUser The concrete type that implements IUser<TId> model.
Remarks

The TId is provided so that you can continue to use the same type of keys for all the models of your system. Some people prefer Guid over Int32 type for their models keys. The TEntityId is provided so that you can use a separate type (usually an entity urn) to represent entity instance identifier on which a permit is granted.

Use this method in conjunction with NewUser during sign up/add new user process. First call NewUser method and set any property you want on the returned TUser model. After that, call the CreateAccount method passing the model.

Load(userId)

Summary

Loads the user data into memory – IUser<TId> model and permissions for the specified userId.

Parameters
Name Type Description
userId TId The logged in userId.
Exceptions
Type Description
System.ArgumentNullException When userId is null or default.
System.InvalidOperationException When user couldn’t be loaded – likely because userId doesn’t exist or is marked suspended.
Remarks

Call this method on session_start if the user is already authenticated.

Load(auth,letSuspended)

Summary

Loads the user data into memory – IUser<TId> model and permissions for the specified identity token.

Returns

DoNotExist if user not found. Suspended if user is suspended and letSuspended is false; otherwise, Success.

Parameters
Name Type Description
auth ASPSecurityKit.IAuthDetails<TId> An identity token details object.
letSuspended System.Boolean If set to false and the specified user is found suspended, forbids loading and returns Suspended; otherwise, loads the user.
Exceptions
Type Description
System.ArgumentNullException When auth is null.
System.InvalidOperationException When auth returns both userId and permitGroupId as null. Or when specified userId doesn’t exist or is marked suspended.
Remarks

Call this method when you’ve already established the authentication (via some identity token protocol, for example). It reads authUrn, userId, permitGroupId and impersonatedUserId from auth details and load data accordingly. For instance, if permitGroupId is present, ensures that permissions are only loaded for that group and not whole of userId’s permits. In case of null userId, it considers that the identity token being loaded has no associated user so just need to load permissions for the specified permitGroupId along with a fake user. If impersonatedUserId is present, it considers that the identity token being loaded is a bound impersonated session (which exists only for impersonation; doesn’t allow stop/changing impersonation); therefore, it starts impersonation by calling Impersonate immediately after loading the user.

Load(userId,letSuspended)

Summary

Loads the user data into memory – IUser<TId> model and permissions for the specified userId.

Returns

DoNotExist if user not found. Suspended if user is suspended and letSuspended is false; otherwise, Success.

Parameters
Name Type Description
userId TId A valid user identifier.
letSuspended System.Boolean If set to false and the specified user is found suspended, forbids loading and returns Suspended; otherwise, loads the user.
Exceptions
Type Description
System.ArgumentNullException When userId is null or default.
Remarks

Call this method on session_start if the user is already authenticated.

SetAuthDetails(auth)

Summary

Initializes values for the current identity.

Parameters
Name Type Description
auth ASPSecurityKit.IAuthDetails<TId> Details related to the current identity.
Exceptions
Type Description
System.ArgumentNullException When auth is null.
System.InvalidOperationException When the supplied authUrn is different from the already known authUrn (not when the current authUrn is not set).
Remarks

Current implementation only captures AuthUrn and PermitGroupId. If PermitGroupId is different from the internal one, RefreshPermissions will be called. A use case of this method is post login to initialize authUrn related to the newly initialized session. Login calls this for the same purpose. If you want to initialize completely new identity, you should use Load instead. You can also use this method to change permit context post login if you give such an option to the user.

Impersonate(userId)

Summary

Impersonates a user that has the specified userId. As such, the current user transforms into this new user; actions are verified against this new user’s permissions.

Exceptions
Type Description
System.ArgumentNullException When userId is null or default.
System.InvalidOperationException When UserId doesn’t exist or the current session is a bound impersonated session (initialized with ImpersonatedUserId). |
Remarks

If impersonation is already active, the identity of the ImpersonatingUser is still maintained and impersonation only switches to next user to be impersonated. Suspension check is skipped for the user being impersonated. Note: this should be an admin-level privilege and should be protected from being miss use.

Remarks

If impersonation is already active, the identity of the ImpersonatingUser is still maintained and impersonation only switches to next user to be impersonated. Suspension check is skipped for the user being impersonated. Note: this should be an admin-level privilege and should be protected from being miss use.
