OpenIdConnect - Proxy Authentication Required


While working through setup and configuration of Identity Server 4, I came across this authentication proxy issue. Maybe this will help you out.

- April 9, 2020

Rest of the Story:

While setting up ASP.NET Core with OpenID Connect I am getting the following exception on the web server (hosting via IIS).

System.InvalidOperationException: IDX20803: Unable to obtain configuration from: 'https://child.mydomain.com/Idp/.well-known/openid-configuration'. ---> 
System.IO.IOException: IDX20807: Unable to retrieve document from: 'https://child.mydomain.com/Idp/.well-known/openid-configuration'. 
HttpResponseMessage: 'StatusCode: 407, ReasonPhrase: 'Proxy Authorization Required', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionResponseContent,

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Solution

Adding the following (for now solved this issue)

.AddOpenIdConnect("oidc", options =>  { 
    options.BackchannelHttpHandler = new HttpClientHandler { 
    UseProxy = false, 
    UseDefaultCredentials = true 
 };
C#
