Hangfire dashboard authorization filter using basic authentication and relying on browser support to allow user to input username and password.

HFDashboardAuthFilter.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Hangfire.Annotations;
using Hangfire.Dashboard;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

namespace MyApp.ScheduledTask
{
    public class HFDashboardAuthFilter : Hangfire.Dashboard.IDashboardAuthorizationFilter
    {
        public bool Authorize([NotNull] DashboardContext context)
        {
            var httpContext = context.GetHttpContext();

            var header = httpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];

            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(header))
            {
                SetChallengeResponse(httpContext);
                return false;
            }

            var authValues = System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Parse(header);

            if (!"Basic".Equals(authValues.Scheme, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
            {
                SetChallengeResponse(httpContext);
                return false;
            }

            var parameter = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(authValues.Parameter));
            var parts = parameter.Split(':');

            if (parts.Length < 2)
            {
                SetChallengeResponse(httpContext);
                return false;
            }

            var username = parts[0];
            var password = parts[1];

            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(username) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(password))
            {
                SetChallengeResponse(httpContext);
                return false;
            }

            if (username == "johndoe" && password == "123")
            {
                return true;
            }

            SetChallengeResponse(httpContext);
            return false;
        }

        private void SetChallengeResponse(HttpContext httpContext)
        {
            httpContext.Response.StatusCode = 401;
            httpContext.Response.Headers.Append("WWW-Authenticate", "Basic realm=\"Hangfire Dashboard\"");
            httpContext.Response.WriteAsync("Authentication is required.");
        }

    }
}

great

Gracias! 👍

Obrigado 👍

Thank you. Works great. Question, how do you sign out of dashboard after login?

Thank you. it is work for me. Great work.

Works great, but how to sign out? Because the same Authorization header stays forever in requests ...

This gist uses HTTP basic authentication, so the way to log out is the same as other HTTP basic authentication, for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/233507/how-to-log-out-user-from-web-site-using-basic-authentication

I haven't tried to log out though.

You are right: Basic Authentication wasn't designed to manage logging out. I will have to figure out something else.

Does this Class get triggered when accessing /hangfire ?
And will the same idea work with .Net Framework ?

Esse código funciona rodando local, ao publicar em produção, fica em loop a solicitação de login e senha. Alguém sabe porque?

Nice work!

Now finally we have an official implementation... Hangfire.Dashboard.Authorization.Basic.

Wow man, this is amazing. I was struggling to find a good solution for API type projects. I had an idea with query strings, but then hangfire does not allow them. This solution is perfect, I honestly did not know you can trigger built in browser login popup!
