Customize the behavior of AuthorizationMiddleware
Apps can register an IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler to customize how AuthorizationMiddleware handles authorization results. Apps can use IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler
to:
- Return customized responses.
- Enhance the default challenge or forbid responses.
The following code shows an example implementation of IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler
that returns a custom response for specific authorization failures:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization.Policy;
public class SampleAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler : IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler
{
private readonly AuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler defaultHandler = new();
public async Task HandleAsync(
RequestDelegate next,
HttpContext context,
AuthorizationPolicy policy,
PolicyAuthorizationResult authorizeResult)
{
// If the authorization was forbidden and the resource had a specific requirement,
// provide a custom 404 response.
if (authorizeResult.Forbidden
&& authorizeResult.AuthorizationFailure!.FailedRequirements
.OfType<Show404Requirement>().Any())
{
// Return a 404 to make it appear as if the resource doesn't exist.
context.Response.StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status404NotFound;
return;
}
// Fall back to the default implementation.
await defaultHandler.HandleAsync(next, context, policy, authorizeResult);
}
}
public class Show404Requirement : IAuthorizationRequirement { }
Register this implementation of IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler
in Program.cs
:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddSingleton<
IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler, SampleAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler>();
var app = builder.Build();

Register MyAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler
in Startup.ConfigureServices
:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddRazorPages();
services.AddSingleton<IAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler,
MyAuthorizationMiddlewareResultHandler>();
