Version 5.x has been out of support since December 13, 2022, and this corresponding section of the documentation is no longer maintained. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported version.

Profile Service

Duende.IdentityServer.Services.IProfileService

Encapsulates retrieval of user claims from a data source of your choice.

  • GetProfileDataAsync

    The API that is expected to load claims for a user. It is passed an instance of ProfileDataRequestContext.

  • IsActiveAsync

    The API that is expected to indicate if a user is currently allowed to obtain tokens. It is passed an instance of IsActiveContext.

Duende.IdentityServer.Models.ProfileDataRequestContext

Models the request for user claims and is the vehicle to return those claims. It contains these properties:

  • Subject

    The ClaimsPrincipal modeling the user.

  • Client

    The Client for which the claims are being requested.

  • RequestedClaimTypes

    The collection of claim types being requested. This data is source from the requested scopes and their associated claim types.

  • Caller

    An identifier for the context in which the claims are being requested (e.g. an identity token, an access token, or the user info endpoint. The constant IdentityServerConstants.ProfileDataCallers contains the different constant values.

  • IssuedClaims

    The list of claims that will be returned. This is expected to be populated by the custom IProfileService implementation.

  • AddRequestedClaims

    Extension method on the ProfileDataRequestContext to populate the IssuedClaims, but first filters the claims based on RequestedClaimTypes.

Duende.IdentityServer.Models.IsActiveContext

Models the request to determine if the user is currently allowed to obtain tokens. It contains these properties:

  • Subject

    The ClaimsPrincipal modeling the user.

  • Client

    The Client for which the claims are being requested.

  • Caller

    An identifier for the context in which the claims are being requested (e.g. an identity token, an access token, or the user info endpoint. The constant IdentityServerConstants.ProfileDataCallers contains the different constant values.

  • IsActive

    The flag indicating if the user is allowed to obtain tokens. This is expected to be assigned by the custom IProfileService implementation.
