service-level method where a refresh token is replaced. in other implementations, when refresh tokens have arbitrary IDs, this subtask can be done with an update operation. but as mine correspond to JWT token IDs, and refresh is by definition called when a jwt is outdated, as well as we can't update key properties with ef core - i gotta delete an entity with the old jwt, and add a new entity where everything is new except for the corresponding user ID

if y'all wonder from post above☝️ how a 24 hr refresh token can correspond to a 15 min JWT:
- at /refresh current token is deleted from db by JTI from header's JWT
- new JWT and new R.T value are generated here
- then adding a R.T entity with only user ID left the same

#buildinpublic #auth #dotnet

upd I implemented refresh tokens for the same #API (for the first time ever 😊)

they are stored in cookies AND in DB, identified by a corresponding JTI (jwt token id) and last for 1 day

there is a /refresh action + also a refresh token is given at login

Over the last few weeks, I've spent some time on and off researching a good way to do Authn and Authz, and struggled quite a bit with the number of options available. Not completely understanding what I'm doing/how to search for my requirements, I've first started trying Logto (but that an UI clicking contest to set up), then going for kanidm without realizing this doesn't have support for a public sign in form, which is something I need. And just now when I'm relatively sure that Better Auth fits my needs quite well, I've discovered Stack Auth via this nice website: https://www.auth0alternatives.com/ Man, if I only would've found this 4 weeks earlier.

Day 2 of the startup build: It’s all about the "Gatekeeper."

Spending the day deep in the weeds with Auth and Login. Nothing kills a user experience faster than a clunky onboarding.
The UI is starting to feel like a real product now. One step closer.

Now that it's working again (I couldn't access it some days ago), OAuth playground is just a pretty nice way to understand code flows in Auth.

Over the last few days, I've plunged into finally trying to understand how all of this Auth stuff works. (The landscape of Acronyms is almost as bad as with the CORS one) These are the videos/sites I would've liked to find from the beginning on: - The Auth Wiki from Logto, but only as a reference whenever some word is unclear (though that has duplicate pages for some reason) - Illustrated Guide to OAuth and OIDC (Youtube) - Everything you ever wanted to know about OAuth and OICD (though the mentions OAuth playground is currently broken, or so it seems) - OAuth 2 Simplified (Blog Post), which has been expanded into OAuth 2 Simplified (Book) # Not super-intuitive stuff - A normal web client shouldn't have a client secret (makes sense if you think about it), and needs to use PKCE - OAuth is only about _Authorization_ (read: Authorizing the service you're currently logging in to to access some resources on another service), OpenId Connect (OIDC) adds _Authentication_ (read: telling the service you're currently logging into who you are) to this. - In my head, every service supporting OAuth (or OIDC, at least) also supported something called "Public Sign Up". But that's not the case, most of them actually don't (which makes sense, because _Authorization_ and _Registration_ don't even belong to the same area)

I've added a note about (me learning) Auth :)

Identity Security Is Now the #1 Attack Vector — and Most Organizations Are Not Architected for It Tweet ### How identity became the new perimeter In 2025, identity is no longer simply a control at the edge of your network — it _is_ the perimeter. As organizations adopt SaaS‑first strategies, hybrid work, remote access, and cloud identity federation, the traditional notion of network perimeter has collapsed. What remains is the identity layer — and attackers know it. Today’s breaches often don’t involve malware, brute‑force password cracking, or noisy exploits. Instead, adversaries leverage stolen tokens, hijacked sessions, and compromised identity‑provider (IdP) infrastructure — all while appearing as legitimate users. That shift makes identity security not just another checkbox — but the **foundation** of enterprise defense. * * * ### Failure points of modern identity stacks Even organizations that have deployed defenses like multi‑factor authentication (MFA), single sign‑on (SSO), and conditional access policies often remain vulnerable. Why? Because many identity architectures are: * **Overly permissive** — long‑lived tokens, excessive scopes, and flat permissioning. * **Fragmented** — identity data is scattered across IdPs, directories, cloud apps, and shadow IT. * **Blind to session risk** — session tokens are often unmonitored, allowing token theft and session hijacking to go unnoticed. * **Incompatible with modern infrastructure** — legacy IAMs often can’t handle dynamic, cloud-native, or hybrid environments. In short: you can check off MFA, SSO, and PAM, and still be wide open to identity‑based compromise. * * * ### Token‑based attack: A walkthrough Consider this realistic scenario: 1. An employee logs in using SSO. The browser receives a token (OAuth or session cookie). 2. A phishing attack — or adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) — captures that token after the user completes MFA. 3. The attacker imports the token into their browser and now impersonates the user — bypassing MFA. 4. The attacker explores internal SaaS tools, installs backdoor OAuth apps, and escalates privileges — all without tripping alarms. A single stolen token can unlock everything. * * * ### Building identity security from first principles The modern identity stack must be redesigned around the realities of today’s attacks: * **Identity is the perimeter** — access should flow through hardened, monitored, and policy-enforced IdPs. * **Session analytics is a must** — don’t just authenticate at login. Monitor behavior continuously throughout the session. * **Token lifecycle control** — enforce short token lifetimes, minimize scopes, and revoke unused sessions immediately. * **Unify the view** — consolidate visibility across all human and machine identities, across SaaS and cloud. * * * ### How to secure identity for SaaS-first orgs For SaaS-heavy and hybrid-cloud organizations, these practices are key: * Use a secure, enterprise-grade IdP * Implement phishing-resistant MFA (e.g., hardware keys, passkeys) * Enforce context-aware access policies * Monitor and analyze every identity session in real time * Treat machine identities as equal in risk and value to human users * * * ### Blueprint: continuous identity hygiene Use systems thinking to model identity as an interconnected ecosystem: * **Pareto principle** — 20% of misconfigurations lead to 80% of breaches. * **Inversion** — map how _you_ would attack your identity infrastructure. * **Compounding** — small permissions or weak tokens can escalate rapidly. Core practices: * Short-lived tokens and ephemeral access * Just-in-time and least privilege permissions * Session monitoring and token revocation pipelines * OAuth and SSO app inventory and control * Unified identity visibility across environments * * * ### 30‑Day Identity Rationalization Action Plan Day | Action ---|--- 1–3 | Inventory all identities — human, machine, and service. 4–7 | Harden your IdP; audit key management. 8–14 | Enforce phishing-resistant MFA organization-wide. 15–18 | Apply risk-based access policies. 19–22 | Revoke stale or long-lived tokens. 23–26 | Deploy session monitoring and anomaly detection. 27–30 | Audit and rationalize privileges and unused accounts. * * * ### More Information If you’re unsure where to start, ask these questions: * How many active OAuth grants are in our environment? * Are we monitoring session behavior after login? * When was the last identity privilege audit performed? * Can we detect token theft in real time? If any of those are difficult to answer — you’re not alone. Most organizations aren’t architected to handle identity as the new perimeter. But the gap between today’s risks and tomorrow’s solutions is closing fast — and the time to address it is now. * * * ### Help from MicroSolved, Inc. At MicroSolved, Inc., we’ve helped organizations evolve their identity security models for more than 30 years. Our experts can: * Audit your current identity architecture and token hygiene * Map identity-related escalation paths * Deploy behavioral identity monitoring and continuous session analytics * Coach your team on modern IAM design principles * Build a 90-day roadmap for secure, unified identity operations Let’s work together to harden identity before it becomes your organization’s softest target.
