Sharing authentication ticket between .NET Core and ASP.NET (Owin)

By default authentication tickets cannot be shared between .NET Core and OWIN. The good news is that it is possible but we have to take some extra steps:

.NET Core App

On .NET Core side we have to change the cookie authentication middleware:

  • The cookie name should match the name used by the OWIN Cookie Authentication Middleware (.AspNet.SharedCookie for example).
  • An instance of a DataProtectionProvider should be initialized to the common data protection key storage location.

ASP.NET (OWIN) App

On ASP.NET (OWIN) side we have to install the Microsoft.Owin.Security.Interop package first.

Then we can change the cookie authentication middleware:

  • The cookie name should match the name used by the ASP.NET Core Cookie Authentication Middleware (.AspNet.SharedCookie in the example).
  • An instance of a DataProtectionProvider should be initialized to the common data protection key storage location.

    Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

    I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
