OWIN OpenIdConnect - multiple OpenIdConnect authentication servers.

Question

User-1489021858 posted

Is it possible to configure multiple OpenIDConnect servers in OWIN?

In other words, is it possible to call this twice (with two different sets of input):

app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication( new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions( ...));

To put this in context, I have this code:

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
	app.SetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
	app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions());

	var section = (AdfsConfigSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("adfs");
	foreach (AdfsElement config in section.Organizations)
	{
		string clientId = config.AdfsClientId;
		string metadataAddress = config.AdfsDiscoveryDoc;
		string redirectUri = config.AdfsRedirectUri;
		string postLogoutRedirectUri = config.AdfsPostLogoutRedirectUri;
		string clientSecret = config.AdfsClientSecret;
		app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(
			new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
			{
				ClientId = clientId,
				MetadataAddress = metadataAddress,
				PostLogoutRedirectUri = postLogoutRedirectUri,
				RedirectUri = redirectUri,
				ClientSecret = clientSecret,
				Notifications = new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationNotifications
				{
					AuthenticationFailed = context =>
					{
						context.HandleResponse();
						context.Response.Redirect("/Error?message=" + context.Exception.Message);
						return Task.FromResult(0);
					}
				}
			});
	}
}

I have tried this and it does not give me an error, but when the user shall connect to one of these OpenId servers, I don't know how to select which one to use.

I just use this code:

HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext().Authentication.Challenge(
   new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = "/" }, OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);

Hi Vilhelm Heiberg,

Yes, you could call the code twice. When you debug  your application, you could see the middleware are added into app.

The OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults returns the default value of the openidconnect middleware.

You could refer to links below for more information:
