Creating a complete ASP.NET Core MVC application that demonstrates OAuth with Google involves several steps. Below, I will provide a simplified version of such an application, including the necessary code for the project.
You can create a new ASP.NET Core MVC project using the command line:
dotnet new mvc -n GoogleOAuthDemo
cd GoogleOAuthDemo
You need to install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google package. You can do this via the command line:
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google
https://localhost:5001/signin-google (or your local URL).appsettings.jsonAdd your Google credentials to the appsettings.json file:
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft": "Warning",
"Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"Authentication": {
"Google": {
"ClientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
"ClientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
}
}
}
Startup.csUpdate the Startup.cs file to configure authentication:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllersWithViews();
services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
options.DefaultScheme = "Cookies";
options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "Google";
})
.AddCookie("Cookies")
.AddGoogle("Google", options =>
{
options.ClientId = Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientId"];
options.ClientSecret = Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientSecret"];
options.Scope.Add("email");
options.Scope.Add("profile");
options.SaveTokens = true;
});
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
Create a new controller named HomeController.cs in the Controllers folder:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.Security.Claims;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize]
public IActionResult Profile()
{
var claimsIdentity = User.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
var email = claimsIdentity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Email)?.Value;
var name = claimsIdentity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Name)?.Value;
ViewBag.Email = email;
ViewBag.Name = name;
return View();
}
public IActionResult Login()
{
var redirectUrl = Url.Action("Index", "Home");
var properties = new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = redirectUrl };
return Challenge(properties, GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
}
[Authorize]
public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
{
await HttpContext.SignOutAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
Create the following views in the Views/Home folder:
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<h1>Welcome to Google OAuth Demo</h1>
<p>
@if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Profile">Profile</a>
<form asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Logout" method="post">
<button type="submit">Logout</button>
</form>
}
else
{
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Login">Login with Google</a>
}
</p>
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Profile";
}
<h1>User Profile</h1>
<p>Name: @ViewBag.Name</p>
<p>Email: @ViewBag.Email</p>
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">Back to Home</a>
Now you can run your application:
dotnet run
Navigate to https://localhost:5001 in your browser. You should see the home page with a link to log in with Google. After logging in, you will be redirected to the profile page displaying your name and email.
This is a basic example of how to implement Google OAuth in an ASP.NET Core MVC application. You can expand upon this by adding more features, error handling, and styling as needed.
Creating a complete ASP.NET Core MVC application that demonstrates OAuth with Google involves several steps. Below, I'll provide a step-by-step guide along with the necessary code snippets to create a simple application.
Open your terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command to create a new MVC project:
dotnet new mvc -n GoogleOAuthDemo
Navigate to the project directory:
cd GoogleOAuthDemo
You need to add the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google package to your project. Run the following command:
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google
Go to the Google Developer Console.
Create a new project.
Navigate to "Credentials" and click on "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID".
Configure the consent screen and set the application type to "Web application".
Add the following redirect URI (replace localhost:5000 with your actual domain if needed):
http://localhost:5000/signin-google
After creating the credentials, note down the Client ID and Client Secret.
appsettings.jsonAdd your Google credentials to the appsettings.json file:
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft": "Warning",
"Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"Authentication": {
"Google": {
"ClientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
"ClientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
}
}
}
Startup.csOpen Startup.cs and modify the ConfigureServices and Configure methods:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllersWithViews();
// Configure Google Authentication
services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = "Cookies";
options.DefaultSignInScheme = "Cookies";
options.DefaultChallengeScheme = GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
})
.AddCookie("Cookies")
.AddGoogle(GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, options =>
{
options.ClientId = Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientId"];
options.ClientSecret = Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientSecret"];
});
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication(); // Enable authentication
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
Create a new controller named HomeController.cs in the Controllers folder:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.Security.Claims;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize]
public IActionResult Secret()
{
return View();
}
public IActionResult Login()
{
var redirectUrl = Url.Action("LoginCallback", "Home");
var properties = new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = redirectUrl };
return Challenge(properties, GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
}
public async Task<IActionResult> LoginCallback()
{
var result = await HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync("Cookies");
var claims = new List<Claim>
{
new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, result.Principal.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)),
new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, result.Principal.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.Name))
};
var claimsIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, "Cookies");
var claimsPrincipal = new ClaimsPrincipal(claimsIdentity);
await HttpContext.SignInAsync("Cookies", claimsPrincipal);
return RedirectToAction("Secret");
}
public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
{
await HttpContext.SignOutAsync("Cookies");
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
Home in the Views folder.Index.cshtml:@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<h1>Welcome to Google OAuth Demo</h1>
@if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
<p>Hello, @User.Identity.Name!</p>
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Logout">Logout</a>
}
else
{
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Login">Login with Google</a>
}
Secret.cshtml:@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Secret Page";
}
<h1>Secret Page</h1>
<p>You are logged in!</p>
<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Logout">Logout</a>
Run the application using the following command:
dotnet run
Open your browser and navigate to https://localhost:5001 (or http://localhost:5000).
Click on "Login with Google" to authenticate using your Google account.
You now have a simple ASP.NET Core MVC application that demonstrates Google OAuth authentication. You can expand this application by adding more features, such as user roles, profile management, and more. Make sure to replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET in the appsettings.json file with the actual values from your Google Developer Console.
