Use cookie authentication without ASP.NET Core Identity

By Rick Anderson

ASP.NET Core Identity is a complete, full-featured authentication provider for creating and maintaining logins. However, a cookie-based authentication provider without ASP.NET Core Identity can be used. For more information, see Introduction to Identity on ASP.NET Core.

For demonstration purposes in the sample app, the user account for the hypothetical user, Maria Rodriguez, is hardcoded into the app. Use the Email address maria.rodriguez@contoso.com and any password to sign in the user. The user is authenticated in the AuthenticateUser method in the Pages/Account/Login.cshtml.cs file. In a real-world example, the user would be authenticated against a datastore.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie();

builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor();

var app = builder.Build();

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapRazorPages();
app.MapDefaultControllerRoute();

app.Run();

AuthenticationScheme passed to AddAuthentication sets the default authentication scheme for the app. AuthenticationScheme is useful when there are multiple instances of cookie authentication and the app needs to authorize with a specific scheme. Setting the AuthenticationScheme to CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme provides a value of "Cookies" for the scheme. Any string value can be used that distinguishes the scheme.

The app's authentication scheme is different from the app's cookie authentication scheme. When a cookie authentication scheme isn't provided to AddCookie, it uses CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme. The CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme GitHub Source shows it's set to "Cookies".

The authentication cookie's IsEssential property is set to true by default. Authentication cookies are allowed when a site visitor hasn't consented to data collection. For more information, see General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) support in ASP.NET Core.

The CookieAuthenticationOptions class is used to configure the authentication provider options.

Configure CookieAuthenticationOptions in the AddCookie method:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie(options =>
    {
        options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20);
        options.SlidingExpiration = true;
        options.AccessDeniedPath = "/Forbidden/";
    });

builder.Services.AddSingleton<IHttpContextAccessor, HttpContextAccessor>();

var app = builder.Build();

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapRazorPages();
app.MapDefaultControllerRoute();

app.Run();

The Cookie Policy Middleware (GitHub Source) UseCookiePolicy enables cookie policy capabilities. Middleware is processed in the order it's added:

app.UseCookiePolicy(cookiePolicyOptions);

Use CookiePolicyOptions provided to the Cookie Policy Middleware to control global characteristics of cookie processing and hook into cookie processing handlers when cookies are appended or deleted.

The default MinimumSameSitePolicy value is SameSiteMode.Lax to permit OAuth2 authentication. To strictly enforce a same-site policy of SameSiteMode.Strict, set the MinimumSameSitePolicy. Although this setting breaks OAuth2 and other cross-origin authentication schemes, it elevates the level of cookie security for other types of apps that don't rely on cross-origin request processing.

var cookiePolicyOptions = new CookiePolicyOptions
{
    MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.Strict,
};

The Cookie Policy Middleware setting for MinimumSameSitePolicy can affect the setting of Cookie.SameSite in CookieAuthenticationOptions settings according to the matrix below.

MinimumSameSitePolicy Cookie.SameSite Resultant Cookie.SameSite setting
SameSiteMode.None SameSiteMode.None
SameSiteMode.Lax
SameSiteMode.Strict
SameSiteMode.None

To create a cookie holding user information, construct a ClaimsPrincipal. The user information is serialized and stored in the cookie.

Create a ClaimsIdentity with any required Claims and call SignInAsync to sign in the user. Login.cshtml.cs in the sample app contains the following code:

public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync(string returnUrl = null)
{
    ReturnUrl = returnUrl;

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        // Use Input.Email and Input.Password to authenticate the user
        // with your custom authentication logic.
        //
        // For demonstration purposes, the sample validates the user
        // on the email address maria.rodriguez@contoso.com with 
        // any password that passes model validation.

        var user = await AuthenticateUser(Input.Email, Input.Password);

        if (user == null)
        {
            ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Invalid login attempt.");
            return Page();
        }

        var claims = new List<Claim>
        {
            new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Email),
            new Claim("FullName", user.FullName),
            new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, "Administrator"),
        };

        var claimsIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(
            claims, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

        var authProperties = new AuthenticationProperties
        {
            //AllowRefresh = <bool>,
            // Refreshing the authentication session should be allowed.

            //ExpiresUtc = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMinutes(10),
            // The time at which the authentication ticket expires. A 
            // value set here overrides the ExpireTimeSpan option of 
            // CookieAuthenticationOptions set with AddCookie.

            //IsPersistent = true,
            // Whether the authentication session is persisted across 
            // multiple requests. When used with cookies, controls
            // whether the cookie's lifetime is absolute (matching the
            // lifetime of the authentication ticket) or session-based.

            //IssuedUtc = <DateTimeOffset>,
            // The time at which the authentication ticket was issued.

            //RedirectUri = <string>
            // The full path or absolute URI to be used as an http 
            // redirect response value.
        };

        await HttpContext.SignInAsync(
            CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, 
            new ClaimsPrincipal(claimsIdentity), 
            authProperties);

        _logger.LogInformation("User {Email} logged in at {Time}.", 
            user.Email, DateTime.UtcNow);

        return LocalRedirect(Url.GetLocalUrl(returnUrl));
    }

    // Something failed. Redisplay the form.
    return Page();
}

If you would like to see code comments translated to languages other than English, let us know in this GitHub discussion issue.

SignInAsync creates an encrypted cookie and adds it to the current response. If AuthenticationScheme isn't specified, the default scheme is used.

RedirectUri is only used on a few specific paths by default, for example, the login path and logout paths. For more information see the CookieAuthenticationHandler source.

ASP.NET Core's Data Protection system is used for encryption. For an app hosted on multiple machines, load balancing across apps, or using a web farm, configure data protection to use the same key ring and app identifier.

Sign out

To sign out the current user and delete their cookie, call SignOutAsync:

public async Task OnGetAsync(string returnUrl = null)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ErrorMessage))
    {
        ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, ErrorMessage);
    }

    // Clear the existing external cookie
    await HttpContext.SignOutAsync(
        CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

    ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
}

If CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme or "Cookies" isn't used as the scheme, supply the scheme used when configuring the authentication provider. Otherwise, the default scheme is used. For example, if "ContosoCookie" is used as the scheme, supply the scheme used when configuring the authentication provider.

When the browser closes it automatically deletes session based cookies (non-persistent cookies), but no cookies are cleared when an individual tab is closed. The server is not notified of tab or browser close events.

React to back-end changes

Once a cookie is created, the cookie is the single source of identity. If a user account is disabled in back-end systems:

  • The app's cookie authentication system continues to process requests based on the authentication cookie.
  • The user remains signed into the app as long as the authentication cookie is valid.

The ValidatePrincipal event can be used to intercept and override validation of the cookie identity. Validating the cookie on every request mitigates the risk of revoked users accessing the app.

One approach to cookie validation is based on keeping track of when the user database changes. If the database hasn't been changed since the user's cookie was issued, there's no need to re-authenticate the user if their cookie is still valid. In the sample app, the database is implemented in IUserRepository and stores a LastChanged value. When a user is updated in the database, the LastChanged value is set to the current time.

In order to invalidate a cookie when the database changes based on the LastChanged value, create the cookie with a LastChanged claim containing the current LastChanged value from the database:

var claims = new List<Claim>
{
    new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Email),
    new Claim("LastChanged", {Database Value})
};

var claimsIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(
    claims,
    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

await HttpContext.SignInAsync(
    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, 
    new ClaimsPrincipal(claimsIdentity));

To implement an override for the ValidatePrincipal event, write a method with the following signature in a class that derives from CookieAuthenticationEvents:

ValidatePrincipal(CookieValidatePrincipalContext)

The following is an example implementation of CookieAuthenticationEvents:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;

public class CustomCookieAuthenticationEvents : CookieAuthenticationEvents
{
    private readonly IUserRepository _userRepository;

    public CustomCookieAuthenticationEvents(IUserRepository userRepository)
    {
        _userRepository = userRepository;
    }

    public override async Task ValidatePrincipal(CookieValidatePrincipalContext context)
    {
        var userPrincipal = context.Principal;

        // Look for the LastChanged claim.
        var lastChanged = (from c in userPrincipal.Claims
                           where c.Type == "LastChanged"
                           select c.Value).FirstOrDefault();

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(lastChanged) ||
            !_userRepository.ValidateLastChanged(lastChanged))
        {
            context.RejectPrincipal();

            await context.HttpContext.SignOutAsync(
                CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
        }
    }
}

Register the events instance during cookie service registration. Provide a scoped service registration for your CustomCookieAuthenticationEvents class:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie(options =>
    {
        options.EventsType = typeof(CustomCookieAuthenticationEvents);
    });

builder.Services.AddScoped<CustomCookieAuthenticationEvents>();

var app = builder.Build();

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapRazorPages();
app.MapDefaultControllerRoute();

app.Run();

Consider a situation in which the user's name is updated—a decision that doesn't affect security in any way. If you want to non-destructively update the user principal, call context.ReplacePrincipal and set the context.ShouldRenew property to true.

Warning

The approach described here is triggered on every request. Validating authentication cookies for all users on every request can result in a large performance penalty for the app.

Persistent cookies

You may want the cookie to persist across browser sessions. This persistence should only be enabled with explicit user consent with a "Remember Me" checkbox on sign in or a similar mechanism.

The following code snippet creates an identity and corresponding cookie that survives through browser closures. Any sliding expiration settings previously configured are honored. If the cookie expires while the browser is closed, the browser clears the cookie once it's restarted.

Set IsPersistent to true in AuthenticationProperties:

// using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;

await HttpContext.SignInAsync(
    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
    new ClaimsPrincipal(claimsIdentity),
    new AuthenticationProperties
    {
        IsPersistent = true
    });

An absolute expiration time can be set with ExpiresUtc. To create a persistent cookie, IsPersistent must also be set. Otherwise, the cookie is created with a session-based lifetime and could expire either before or after the authentication ticket that it holds. When ExpiresUtc is set, it overrides the value of the ExpireTimeSpan option of CookieAuthenticationOptions, if set.

The following code snippet creates an identity and corresponding cookie that lasts for 20 minutes. This ignores any sliding expiration settings previously configured.

// using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;

await HttpContext.SignInAsync(
    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
    new ClaimsPrincipal(claimsIdentity),
    new AuthenticationProperties
    {
        IsPersistent = true,
        ExpiresUtc = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(20)
    });

Configuration

In the Startup.ConfigureServices method, create the Authentication Middleware services with the AddAuthentication and AddCookie methods:

services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie();

AuthenticationScheme passed to AddAuthentication sets the default authentication scheme for the app. AuthenticationScheme is useful when there are multiple instances of cookie authentication and you want to authorize with a specific scheme.

The authentication cookie's IsEssential property is set to true by default. Authentication cookies are allowed when a site visitor hasn't consented to data collection. For more information, see General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) support in ASP.NET Core.

In Startup.Configure, call UseAuthentication and UseAuthorization to set the HttpContext.User property and run Authorization Middleware for requests. Call the UseAuthentication and UseAuthorization methods before calling UseEndpoints:

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
    endpoints.MapControllers();
    endpoints.MapRazorPages();
});

The CookieAuthenticationOptions class is used to configure the authentication provider options.

Set CookieAuthenticationOptions in the service configuration for authentication in the Startup.ConfigureServices method:

services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie(options =>
    {
        ...
    });

Cookie Policy Middleware enables cookie policy capabilities. Adding the middleware to the app processing pipeline is order sensitive—it only affects downstream components registered in the pipeline.

app.UseCookiePolicy(cookiePolicyOptions);

Use CookiePolicyOptions provided to the Cookie Policy Middleware to control global characteristics of cookie processing and hook into cookie processing handlers when cookies are appended or deleted.

The default MinimumSameSitePolicy value is SameSiteMode.Lax to permit OAuth2 authentication. To strictly enforce a same-site policy of SameSiteMode.Strict, set the MinimumSameSitePolicy.

var cookiePolicyOptions = new CookiePolicyOptions
{
    MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.Strict,
};
