Azure Storage Blob Key Store for Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection

The Azure.Extensions.AspNetCore.DataProtection.Blobs package allows storing ASP.NET Core DataProtection keys in Azure Blob Storage. Keys can be shared across several instances of a web app. Apps can share authentication cookies or CSRF protection across multiple servers.

Getting started

Install the package

Install the package with NuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Extensions.AspNetCore.DataProtection.Blobs

Prerequisites

You need an Azure subscription, Storage Account and Storage Container to use this package.

To create a new Storage Account, you can use the Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, or the Azure CLI. Here's an example using the Azure CLI:

az storage account create --name <storage-account> --resource-group <resource-group> --location westus --sku Standard_LRS
az storage container create --account-name <storage-account> -n <container>

# Give write access to a user
az role assignment create --role "Storage Blob Data Contributor" --assignee <your_email> --scope "/subscriptions/<subscription>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>/blobServices/default/containers/<container>"

# OR give write access to a service principal (application)
az role assignment create --role "Storage Blob Data Contributor" --assignee-object-id <application_id> --scope "/subscriptions/<subscription>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>/blobServices/default/containers/<container>"

Key concepts

Thread safety

We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Additional concepts

Client options | Accessing the response | Long-running operations | Handling failures | Diagnostics | Mocking | Client lifetime

Examples

To enable persisting keys to Azure Blob Storage call the PersistKeysToAzureBlobStorage method. The Uri provided has to be a blob URI in the following form https://{storage_account}.blob.core.windows.net/{container}/{blob}.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services
        .AddDataProtection()
        .PersistKeysToAzureBlobStorage(new Uri("<full-blob-URI>"), new DefaultAzureCredential());
}

The Azure Identity library provides easy Azure Active Directory support for authentication.

Authenticating using a connection string

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services
        .AddDataProtection()
        .PersistKeysToAzureBlobStorage("<connection string>", "<container name>", "<blob name>");
}
