Het Backend For Frontend (BFF) pattern revolutioneert hoe we identity management aanpakken in moderne webapplicaties. Bij een relatie hebben we een productie-klare implementatie gebouwd die OpenIdDict combineert met Ocelot Gateway en Azure Redis Cache. In dit artikel deel ik onze complete architectuur met real-world code voorbeelden.
Inhoudsopgave
1. Wat is het BFF Pattern?
Het Backend For Frontend (BFF) pattern is een architectuurpatroon waarbij je een dedicated backend service creëert voor elke frontend client. In plaats van dat je frontend direct communiceert met microservices, gaat alle communicatie via de BFF layer die specifiek is afgestemd op de behoeften van dat frontend.
🎯 Waarom BFF?
- Security First: JWT tokens nooit exposed aan browser
- Multiple Clients: Web apps, mobile apps én administratie panels
- Complex Backend: 15+ microservices met verschillende protocols
- Compliance: Zorgvuldige omgang met gebruikersdata
- Performance: Intelligent caching en request aggregation
BFF Architectuur
React/Angular
BFF + API Gateway
Identity Provider
GoNative/Median
Token + Session Storage
Business Logic
2. Waarom BFF voor Identity Management?
Traditional SPA authentication met JWT tokens in localStorage brengt aanzienlijke security risico's met zich mee. Het BFF pattern lost deze problemen elegant op.
⚠️ Security Problemen van Traditional SPA Auth:
- XSS Vulnerability: JavaScript malware kan tokens uit localStorage stelen
- Token Exposure: Tokens zichtbaar in browser dev tools
- CSRF Complexity: Moeilijk te implementeren zonder cookies
- Token Refresh Hell: Complex refresh token management in SPA
- Session Management: Geen reliable manier om sessies server-side te beëindigen
✅ Hoe BFF deze problemen oplost:
- HttpOnly Cookies: Niet toegankelijk via JavaScript
- Same-Site Protection: Automatic CSRF protection
- Server-side Token Management: JWT tokens veilig in Redis cache
- Simplified Frontend: Frontend hoeft alleen cookies te versturen
- Centralized Security: Alle security logic geconcentreerd in gateway
- Session Control: Server-side session invalidation

4. Gateway Startup Configuration
De gateway vormt het hart van onze BFF architectuur. Hier is onze complete production startup configuratie die alle componenten samenvoegt.
// Startup.cs using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.Repositories; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpOverrides; using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore; using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging; using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.OpenIdConnect; using Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers; using Microsoft.OpenApi.Models; using Ocelot.DependencyInjection; using Ocelot.Middleware; using Serilog; using System.Reflection; using System.Security.Claims; namespace Gateway; public class Startup(IConfiguration configuration) { public IConfiguration Configuration { get; } = configuration; public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // Monitoring en observability services.AddMonitoring(typeof(Program).Assembly.FullName?.Split(",")[0]); // Serilog configuratie Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .WriteTo.Console() .CreateLogger(); // Azure Redis Cache voor token storage services.AddCaching(Configuration); // Active company validation voor multi-tenancy services.Configure<ActiveCompanyValidationOptions>( Configuration.GetSection(ActiveCompanyValidationOptions.SectionName)); // Controllers voor BFF endpoints services.AddControllersWithViews(); // Ocelot API Gateway met custom handlers services.AddOcelot(Configuration) .AddDelegatingHandler<DownstreamContentHeadersHandler>(true) .AddDelegatingHandler<JwtHandler>(true) // JWT injection naar backend .AddDelegatingHandler<CorsHandler>(true); // CORS handling // Health checks voor monitoring services.AddHealthChecks() .AddCheck<IdentityHealthCheck>("IdentityHealthCheck"); // Forwarded headers voor load balancer support services.Configure<ForwardedHeadersOptions>(options => { options.ForwardedHeaders = ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedFor | ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedHost | ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedProto; options.ForwardLimit = 2; // Limit proxy hops voor security options.KnownNetworks.Clear(); options.KnownProxies.Clear(); }); // Development tooling if (Configuration.IsSwaggerEnabled()) { services.AddSwaggerForOcelot(Configuration, (o) => { o.GenerateDocsForGatewayItSelf = false; }); } // HTTPS redirection voor production if (!Configuration.DisableHttps()) { services.AddHttpsRedirection(options => { options.RedirectStatusCode = StatusCodes.Status308PermanentRedirect; options.HttpsPort = 443; }); } // Identity model debugging (alleen development) IdentityModelEventSource.ShowPII = true;
CSRF Protection & Data Protection Setup
// Anti-forgery token configuratie voor CSRF protection services.AddAntiforgery(options => { options.HeaderName = "X-XSRF-TOKEN"; options.Cookie.Name = "__Host-X-XSRF-TOKEN"; options.Cookie.SameSite = Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.SameSiteMode.Strict; options.Cookie.SecurePolicy = CookieSecurePolicy.Always; }); services.AddHttpClient(); services.AddOptions(); // Data Protection setup voor cookie encryption services.SetupDataProtection("Gateway");
5. OpenIdConnect Integration
De authentication configuratie vormt de kern van onze BFF implementatie. We combineren cookie authentication met OpenIdConnect voor een seamless user experience.
// Authentication configuratie var openIdConnectSettings = Configuration.GetSection("OpenIDConnectSettings"); var cookieDomain = Configuration["cookieDomain"]; // Development vs Production cookie domain handling if (openIdConnectSettings["Authority"]?.Contains("localhost", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) ?? false) { cookieDomain = "localhost"; } services.AddAuthentication(options => { options.DefaultScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.DefaultChallengeScheme = OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.DefaultSignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; }) .AddCookie(options => { // Cookie configuratie voor maximum security options.Cookie.Name = AuthCookieName.CookieName; options.Cookie.MaxAge = TokenSettings.CookieLifeSpan; options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true; // XSS protection options.Cookie.Domain = cookieDomain; // Cross-subdomain support options.Cookie.IsEssential = true; // GDPR essentieel options.Cookie.SameSite = Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.SameSiteMode.Strict; // CSRF protection options.Cookie.SecurePolicy = CookieSecurePolicy.Always; // HTTPS only options.SlidingExpiration = false; // Fixed expiration // Authentication flow paths options.AccessDeniedPath = "/forbidden"; options.LoginPath = "/login"; options.LogoutPath = "/logout"; })
OpenIdConnect Provider Configuration
.AddOpenIdConnect(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, options => { // Basic OIDC configuratie options.SignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.Authority = openIdConnectSettings["Authority"]; options.ClientId = openIdConnectSettings["ClientId"]; options.ClientSecret = openIdConnectSettings["ClientSecret"]; options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false; // Development flexibiliteit options.ResponseType = OpenIdConnectResponseType.Code; // Authorization Code flow options.ResponseMode = "form_post"; // Security best practice options.UsePkce = true; // PKCE voor extra security // Callback paths options.CallbackPath = "/signin-oidc"; options.SignedOutCallbackPath = "/signout-callback-oidc"; // Scopes configuratie options.Scope.Clear(); options.Scope.Add("profile"); options.Scope.Add("roles"); options.Scope.Add("openid"); options.Scope.Add("offline_access"); // Voor refresh tokens // Token storage - KRITIEK: SaveTokens = true voor token extractie options.SaveTokens = true;
6. Token Caching Strategy
Het hart van onze BFF architectuur is de intelligente token caching strategy. We extraheeren JWT tokens uit de OpenIdConnect flow en slaan ze veilig op in Azure Redis.
🔐 Waarom Token Extraction?
- Security: JWT tokens nooit naar browser
- Performance: Redis veel sneller dan database lookups
- Scalability: Horizontaal schaalbaar via Redis clustering
- Mobile Support: Refresh tokens voor mobile apps
- Session Control: Server-side session invalidation mogelijk
// Event handlers voor token management options.Events.OnRedirectToIdentityProvider = context => { // Consumer app parameter doorgeven voor multi-app support var consumerApp = context.Request.Query["consumer_app"].ToString(); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(consumerApp)) { context.ProtocolMessage.RedirectUri += $"?consumer_app={consumerApp}"; } return Task.CompletedTask; }; options.Events.OnRedirectToIdentityProviderForSignOut = context => { // Logout flow configuration context.ProtocolMessage.ClientId = openIdConnectSettings["ClientId"]; var consumerApp = context.Request.Query["consumer_app"].ToString(); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(consumerApp)) { context.ProtocolMessage.PostLogoutRedirectUri += $"?consumer_app={consumerApp}"; context.ProtocolMessage.RedirectUri += $"?consumer_app={consumerApp}"; } return Task.CompletedTask; }; // KRITIEKE EVENT: Token extraction en caching options.Events.OnTicketReceived = async context => { var cache = context.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ICacheProvider>(); var identity = context!.Principal!.Identities.FirstOrDefault(); if (identity == null || !identity.IsAuthenticated) { context.Fail("Failed authentication"); return; } if (context.Properties != null) { // Extract user ID en tokens var userId = identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)?.Value; var token = context.Properties.GetTokenValue("id_token"); var refreshToken = context.Properties.GetTokenValue("refresh_token"); if (token == null) { return; } // Clean previous token en store nieuwe await cache.ClearAsync($"access_token_{userId}"); await cache.SetAsync($"access_token_{userId}", token, TokenSettings.TokenLifeSpan); // SECURITY: Clear tokens uit cookie properties // Anders zouden ze in de cookie terecht kunnen komen context.Properties.UpdateTokenValue("access_token", string.Empty); context.Properties.UpdateTokenValue("id_token", string.Empty); context.Properties.UpdateTokenValue("expires_at", string.Empty); context.Properties.UpdateTokenValue("token_type", string.Empty); context.Properties.UpdateTokenValue("refresh_token", string.Empty);
Mobile App Refresh Token Handling
// Special handling voor mobile apps (GoNative/Median) var userAgent = context.Request.Headers[HeaderNames.UserAgent].ToString(); // Check voor GoNative of Median user agents if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(userAgent) && (userAgent.Contains("median", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) || userAgent.Contains("gonative", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)) && refreshToken != null) { // Mobile apps hebben refresh tokens nodig voor offline scenarios await cache.ClearAsync($"refresh_token_{userId}"); await cache.SetAsync($"refresh_token_{userId}", refreshToken, TokenSettings.RefreshTokenLifeSpan); } } return; }; });
📱 Mobile App Considerations:
- User Agent Detection: GoNative/Median apps hebben specifieke user agents
- Refresh Token Storage: Mobile apps hebben langere offline periods
- Extended Lifespans: Refresh tokens langer geldig voor mobile
- Background Refresh: Apps kunnen tokens refreshen via background tasks
7. Security Middleware & Additional Services
Naast de core authentication configureren we additional services voor database access, messaging, en background tasks.
// Database context voor gateway-specifieke data services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"))); // Real-time messaging met SignalR services.AddSignalR(); // Message broker voor async communication services.AddRabbitMq(Configuration.GetConnectionString("RabbitMqConnection"), new DefaultDeadLetterConfiguration()); // Custom services services.AddSingleton<ISignalRMessageService, SignalRMessageService>(); services.AddSingleton<ICorsHeaderService, CorsHeaderService>(); services.AddHostedService<NotificationSubscriber>(); // Data protection key storage in database services.AddScoped<IXmlRepository, SqlXmlRepository>(); } // Configure method: HTTP request pipeline public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { // Health checks voor Kubernetes/monitoring app.UseHealthChecks("/health"); // Structured logging met request enrichment app.UseSerilogRequestLogging(options => { options.MessageTemplate = "HTTP {RequestMethod} {RequestPath} responded {StatusCode} in {Elapsed:0.0000} ms for {XForwardedFor}"; options.EnrichDiagnosticContext = (diagnosticContext, httpContext) => { diagnosticContext.Set("XForwardedFor", httpContext.Request.Headers["X-Forwarded-For"]); }; }); // Load balancer support app.UseForwardedHeaders(); // Environment-specific middleware if (env.IsDevelopment() || env.EnvironmentName == "k8s-test") { app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); } else { if (!Configuration.DisableHttps()) { app.UseHsts(); // HTTPS Strict Transport Security } } // KRITIEK: Security headers middleware app.UseMiddleware<SecurityHeadersMiddleware>(); // Root path redirect naar index app.Use(async (context, next) => { if (context.Request.Path.Value == "/") { context.Response.Redirect("/index"); return; } await next.Invoke(); }); // CORS handling voor SignalR app.UseMiddleware<SignalRCorsMiddleware>(); // Multi-tenancy middleware app.UseActiveCompanyValidation(); // Standard ASP.NET Core pipeline app.UseRouting(); app.UseAuthentication(); app.UseAuthorization(); // Endpoints mapping app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllers(); endpoints.MapHub<SignalRService>("/notifications"); }); app.UseStaticFiles();
8. Ocelot Gateway Integration
Ocelot fungeert als onze API Gateway en routeert requests naar de juiste microservices. De JwtHandler injecteert automatisch de cached tokens in downstream requests.
// Development tooling if (Configuration.IsSwaggerEnabled()) { app.UseSwagger(); app.UseSwaggerForOcelotUI(opt => { opt.PathToSwaggerGenerator = "/swagger/docs"; }, uiOpt => { uiOpt.DocumentTitle = "Gateway documentation"; uiOpt.InjectStylesheet("/css/custom-swagger-ui.css"); uiOpt.InjectJavascript("/js/custom-swagger-ui.js"); }); } // Ocelot configuration en middleware var configuration = new OcelotPipelineConfiguration(); app.UseWebSockets(); // WebSocket support voor real-time features app.UseOcelot(configuration).Wait(); // API Gateway functionality // Background services var scopedServiceProvider = app.ApplicationServices.CreateScope().ServiceProvider; Timer timer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(CallCms), scopedServiceProvider, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromHours(4)); // CMS cache refresh elke 4 uur // Database migrations if (Assembly.GetEntryAssembly()?.GetName().Name != "dotnet-swagger") { RunMigration(scopedServiceProvider); } }
JwtHandler Implementation
De JwtHandler is een custom Ocelot DelegatingHandler die automatisch JWT tokens uit Redis cache haalt en injecteert in downstream API calls.
// Gateway/Handlers/JwtHandler.cs public class JwtHandler : DelegatingHandler { private readonly IServiceProvider _serviceProvider; private readonly ILogger<JwtHandler> _logger; public JwtHandler(IServiceProvider serviceProvider, ILogger<JwtHandler> logger) { _serviceProvider = serviceProvider; _logger = logger; } protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync( HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { using var scope = _serviceProvider.CreateScope(); var httpContextAccessor = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<IHttpContextAccessor>(); var cache = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<ICacheProvider>(); if (httpContextAccessor?.HttpContext?.User?.Identity?.IsAuthenticated == true) { try { // Extract user ID van authenticated user var userId = httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User .FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)?.Value; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(userId)) { // Haal JWT token uit Redis cache var token = await cache.GetAsync<string>($"access_token_{userId}"); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(token)) { // Inject Bearer token in Authorization header request.Headers.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token); _logger.LogDebug("Injected JWT token for user {UserId}", userId); } else { _logger.LogWarning("No cached token found for user {UserId}", userId); } } } catch (Exception ex) { _logger.LogError(ex, "Failed to inject JWT token"); // Continue zonder token - downstream service moet 401 returnen } } return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken); } }
🎯 JwtHandler Voordelen:
- Transparent: Frontend hoeft geen tokens te beheren
- Automatic: Alle API calls krijgen automatisch JWT tokens
- Cached: High-performance Redis lookups
- Secure: Tokens nooit exposed aan frontend
- Resilient: Graceful failure als tokens expired zijn
9. Mobile App Considerations
De websites ondersteunen zowel web als mobile clients. Mobile apps (GoNative/Median) hebben specifieke requirements die we elegant afhandelen in onze BFF architectuur.
User Agent Detection
// Mobile app detection in token caching var userAgent = context.Request.Headers[HeaderNames.UserAgent].ToString(); // GoNative is het oude platform, Median is de nieuwe naam if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(userAgent) && (userAgent.Contains("median", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) || userAgent.Contains("gonative", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)) && refreshToken != null) { // Mobile apps krijgen refresh tokens voor offline scenarios await cache.ClearAsync($"refresh_token_{userId}"); await cache.SetAsync($"refresh_token_{userId}", refreshToken, TokenSettings.RefreshTokenLifeSpan); }
📱 Mobile-Specific Challenges:
- Offline Usage: Apps kunnen tijdelijk offline zijn
- Background Refresh: Tokens moeten in background gerefreshed kunnen worden
- Platform Changes: GoNative → Median naming transition
- Extended Lifespans: Mobile users verwachten minder frequent inloggen
- Network Reliability: Mobile netwerken zijn minder betrouwbaar
Token Lifecycle Management
// TokenSettings configuratie voor verschillende client types public static class TokenSettings { // Standard web app lifespans public static readonly TimeSpan TokenLifeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(1); public static readonly TimeSpan CookieLifeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(8); // Extended lifespans voor mobile apps public static readonly TimeSpan RefreshTokenLifeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(30); // Mobile refresh // Security settings public static readonly TimeSpan MaxInactivityTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(2); public static readonly TimeSpan AbsoluteTimeout = TimeSpan.FromHours(12); } // Mobile refresh token endpoint [HttpPost("api/auth/mobile/refresh")] [Authorize] public async Task<IActionResult> RefreshMobileToken() { var userId = User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)?.Value; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userId)) { return Unauthorized(); } var userAgent = Request.Headers[HeaderNames.UserAgent].ToString(); var isMobileApp = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(userAgent) && (userAgent.Contains("median", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) || userAgent.Contains("gonative", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)); if (!isMobileApp) { return BadRequest("Only mobile apps can use this endpoint"); } try { var refreshToken = await _cache.GetAsync<string>($"refresh_token_{userId}"); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(refreshToken)) { return Unauthorized("No refresh token available"); } // Call OpenIdDict token endpoint var tokenResponse = await RefreshTokenWithIdentityProvider(refreshToken); if (tokenResponse != null) { // Update cached tokens await _cache.SetAsync($"access_token_{userId}", tokenResponse.AccessToken, TokenSettings.TokenLifeSpan); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tokenResponse.RefreshToken)) { await _cache.SetAsync($"refresh_token_{userId}", tokenResponse.RefreshToken, TokenSettings.RefreshTokenLifeSpan); } return Ok(new { success = true, expiresIn = tokenResponse.ExpiresIn }); } return Unauthorized("Token refresh failed"); } catch (Exception ex) { _logger.LogError(ex, "Mobile token refresh failed for user {UserId}", userId); return StatusCode(500, "Token refresh failed"); } }
10. Production Lessons Learned
Na maanden in productie hebben we waardevolle lessons learned die kunnen helpen bij je eigen BFF implementatie.
✅ Wat werkte goed:
