xamarin form : posting jarray null values to web api - xamarin.forms

i am posting jarray to to webapi, but its posting null values here is my code
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
JArray paramList = new JArray();
paramList.Add(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(contactDetail));
paramList.Add(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_LocalNote));
paramList.Add(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_InvoiceDetail));
paramList.Add(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_Invoice));
paramList.Add(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_Customer_Files));
HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsJsonAsync("http://afboilersolutions.com/api/ContactDetails", paramList.Values()).Result;
i dont know where is wronng in this code
WebApi
public IHttpActionResult PostContactDetail(JObject paramLlist)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
if (paramLlist[0] != null)
{
contactDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ContactDetail>(paramLlist[0].ToString());
}
if (paramLlist[1] != null)
{
notes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Note>>(paramLlist[1].ToString());
}
if (paramLlist[2] != null)
{
invoiceDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<InvoiceDetail>>(paramLlist[2].ToString());
}
if (paramLlist[3] != null)
{
invoices = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Invoice>>(paramLlist[3].ToString());
}
if (paramLlist[4] != null)
{
files = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Customer_Files>>(paramLlist[4].ToString());
}
i am getting data from xamarin side which i am postin, but in web api i am recieiving null jarray

Error in putempdetail edit api not working
[HttpPut]

await _empcontext.SaveChangesAsync();
return CreatedAtAction("GetempDetail", empDetail);
}
}
error in putempdetail edit api not working
you must do a return for all action paths
if (obj != null)
{
obj.empcode = empDetail.empcode;
obj.empname = empDetail.empname;
obj.salary = empDetail.salary;
await _empcontext.SaveChangesAsync();
return CreatedAtAction("GetempDetail", empDetail);
}else{
return BadRequest();
}
You need to handle the case where the obj is null.
You can catch exception or return a badRequest.

Adding a SessionStore (ITicketStore) to my application cookie makes my Data Protection Provider fail to work

tl;dr
Have .NET Core 2.0 application which uses a Data Protection Provider which persists a key file across all of the sites on my domain.
Worked fine, however, application cookie became too big.
Implemented a SessionStore on the cookie using ITicketStore
Cookie size is greatly reduced, however, the key from the DPP no longer persists across my sites.
Is there something I'm supposed to do in my ITicketStore implementation to fix this? I'm assuming so, since this is where the problem arises, however, I could not figure it out.
Some snippets:
Startup.cs --> ConfigureServices()
var keysFolder = $#"c:\temp\_WebAppKeys\{_env.EnvironmentName.ToLower()}";
var protectionProvider = DataProtectionProvider.Create(new DirectoryInfo(keysFolder));
var dataProtector = protectionProvider.CreateProtector(
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies.CookieAuthenticationMiddleware",
"Cookies",
"v2");
--snip--
services.AddSingleton<ITicketStore, TicketStore>();
--snip--
services.AddDataProtection()
.PersistKeysToFileSystem(new DirectoryInfo(keysFolder))
.SetApplicationName("app_auth");
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
options.Cookie.Name = ".XAUTH";
options.Cookie.Domain = ".domain.com";
options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(7);
options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
options.DataProtectionProvider = protectionProvider;
options.TicketDataFormat = new TicketDataFormat(dataProtector);
options.CookieManager = new ChunkingCookieManager();
options.SessionStore = services.BuildServiceProvider().GetService<ITicketStore>();
});
TicketStore.cs
public class TicketStore : ITicketStore
{
private IMemoryCache _cache;
private const string KeyPrefix = "AuthSessionStore-";
public TicketStore(IMemoryCache cache)
{
_cache = cache;
}
public Task RemoveAsync(string key)
{
_cache.Remove(key);
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
public Task RenewAsync(string key, AuthenticationTicket ticket)
{
var options = new MemoryCacheEntryOptions
{
Priority = CacheItemPriority.NeverRemove
};
var expiresUtc = ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc;
if (expiresUtc.HasValue)
{
options.SetAbsoluteExpiration(expiresUtc.Value);
}
options.SetSlidingExpiration(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60));
_cache.Set(key, ticket, options);
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
public Task<AuthenticationTicket> RetrieveAsync(string key)
{
AuthenticationTicket ticket;
_cache.TryGetValue(key, out ticket);
return Task.FromResult(ticket);
}
public async Task<string> StoreAsync(AuthenticationTicket ticket)
{
var key = KeyPrefix + Guid.NewGuid();
await RenewAsync(key, ticket);
return key;
}
I also ran into this issue.
The SessionIdClaim value in Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies is "Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies-SessionId", while the SessionIdClaim value in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies is "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies-SessionId".
This results in a SessionId Missing error due to this code on the AspNetCore side even when you implemented a distributed session store (using RedisCacheTicketStore for example) as decribed here: https://mikerussellnz.github.io/.NET-Core-Auth-Ticket-Redis/
I was able to re-compile the AspNetKatana project with the new string, and then the SessionID was found on the .NET Core side.
Additionally, it seems the AuthenticationTicket classes are different, so I was able to get this working by implementing a conversion method to convert the
Microsoft.Owin.Security.AuthenticationTicket Ticket to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationTicket Ticket and then store the ticket using the AspNetCore serializer (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.TicketSerializer).
public Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationTicket ConvertTicket(Microsoft.Owin.Security.AuthenticationTicket ticket)
{
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationProperties netCoreAuthProps = new Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationProperties();
netCoreAuthProps.IssuedUtc = ticket.Properties.IssuedUtc;
netCoreAuthProps.ExpiresUtc = ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc;
netCoreAuthProps.IsPersistent = ticket.Properties.IsPersistent;
netCoreAuthProps.AllowRefresh = ticket.Properties.AllowRefresh;
netCoreAuthProps.RedirectUri = ticket.Properties.RedirectUri;
ClaimsPrincipal cp = new ClaimsPrincipal(ticket.Identity);
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationTicket netCoreTicket = new Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationTicket(cp, netCoreAuthProps, "Cookies");
return netCoreTicket;
}
private static Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.TicketSerializer _netCoreSerializer = Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.TicketSerializer.Default;
private static byte[] SerializeToBytesNetCore(Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AuthenticationTicket source)
{
return _netCoreSerializer.Serialize(source);
}
With these additional methods, the RenwAsync method can be changed to this:
public Task RenewAsync(string key, Microsoft.Owin.Security.AuthenticationTicket ticket)
{
var options = new DistributedCacheEntryOptions();
var expiresUtc = ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc;
if (expiresUtc.HasValue)
{
options.SetAbsoluteExpiration(expiresUtc.Value);
}
var netCoreTicket = ConvertTicket(ticket);
// convert to .NET Core format
byte[] netCoreVal = SerializeToBytesNetCore(netCoreTicket);
// serialize ticket using .NET Core Serializer
_cache.Set(key, netCoreVal, options);
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
I am not sure if this is the best approach, but it seems to work on my test project, admittedly I am not using this in production, hopefully this helps.
UPDATE #1: Alternate approach to avoid re-compiling
It looks like this might also work by re-creating the cookie with both SessionId claim values on the OWIN side. This will allow you to use the standard library without re-compiling. I tried it this morning but have not had a chance to thoroughly test it, although on my initial test it does load the claims properly on both sides. Basically, if you modify the authentication ticket to have both SessionId claims, it will find the session in both applications. This code snippet gets the cookie, unprotects it, adds the additional claim, and then replaces the cookie inside the OnValidateIdentity event of the CookieAuthenticationProvider.
string cookieName = "myappname";
string KatanaSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies-SessionId";
string NetCoreSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies-SessionId";
Microsoft.Owin.Security.Interop.ChunkingCookieManager cookieMgr = new ChunkingCookieManager();
OnValidateIdentity = ctx =>
{
var incomingIdentity = ctx.Identity;
var cookie = cookieMgr.GetRequestCookie(ctx.OwinContext, cookieName);
if (cookie != null)
{
var ticket = TicketDataFormat.Unprotect(cookie);
if (ticket != null)
{
Claim claim = ticket.Identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type.Equals(KatanaSessionIdClaim));
Claim netCoreSessionClaim = ticket.Identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type.Equals(NetCoreSessionIdClaim));
if (netCoreSessionClaim == null)
{
// adjust cookie options as needed.
CookieOptions opts = new CookieOptions();
opts.Expires = ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc == null ?
DateTime.Now.AddDays(14) : ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc.Value.DateTime;
opts.HttpOnly = true;
opts.Path = "/";
opts.Secure = true;
netCoreSessionClaim = new Claim(NetCoreSessionIdClaim, claim.Value);
ticket.Identity.AddClaim(netCoreSessionClaim);
string newCookieValue = TicketDataFormat.Protect(ticket);
cookieMgr.DeleteCookie(ctx.OwinContext, cookieName, opts);
cookieMgr.AppendResponseCookie(ctx.OwinContext, cookieName, newCookieValue, opts);
}
}
}
}
If there is a better approach I would be curious to know, or a better place to swap out the cookie.
The problem is, as other answers have pointed out, that the Owin cookie's session key claim has another type string than the one expected in ASP.Net Core.
The following implementation of a ticket data format makes sure to add the session key claim for ASP.Net Core when generating the cookie string.
public class AspNetCoreCompatibleTicketDataFormat : ISecureDataFormat<AuthenticationTicket> {
private const string OwinSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies-SessionId";
private const string AspNetCoreSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies-SessionId";
private readonly ISecureDataFormat<AuthenticationTicket> dataFormat;
public AspNetCoreCompatibleTicketDataFormat(IDataProtector protector) {
this.dataFormat = new AspNetTicketDataFormat(protector);
}
public string Protect(AuthenticationTicket data) {
var sessionClaim = data.Identity.FindFirst(OwinSessionIdClaim);
if (sessionClaim != null) {
data.Identity.AddClaim(new Claim(AspNetCoreSessionIdClaim, sessionClaim.Value));
}
return this.dataFormat.Protect(data);
}
public AuthenticationTicket Unprotect(string protectedText) {
return this.dataFormat.Unprotect(protectedText);
}
}
This code should be added to the ASP.Net Framework project. You use it instead of the AspNetTicketDataFormat in your StartUp.cs code, like this:
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions {
TicketDataFormat = new AspNetCoreCompatibleTicketDataFormat(
new DataProtectorShim(...
The code makes sure that the generated cookie contains a session id claim known to ASP.NET Core. It works for the scenario where you generate the cookie in an ASP.NET Framework OWIN project and consume it in an ASP.NET Core project.
One would have to make sure to always add both to get it working in the opposite circumstance where the cookie is generated in the ASP.NET Core project.
I ended up doing a mix of the above answers, Replacing the ICookieManager implementation on the AspNetCore side that generates the cookies, adding both claims when doing so (as per the relevant part of the answer given by #AnthonyValeri):
public class OwinAspNetCompatibleCookieManager : ICookieManager
{
private const string OwinSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies-SessionId";
private const string AspNetCoreSessionIdClaim = "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies-SessionId";
private readonly ICookieManager actualCookieManager;
public OwinAspNetCompatibleCookieManager(ICookieManager actualCookieManager) => this.actualCookieManager = actualCookieManager;
// TODO oh this async void is so so bad, i have to find another way
public async void AppendResponseCookie(HttpContext context, string key, string value, CookieOptions options)
{
IAuthenticationHandler handler = await context.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<IAuthenticationHandlerProvider>().GetHandlerAsync(context, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).ConfigureAwait(false);
if (handler is CookieAuthenticationHandler cookieHandler)
{
value = MakeOwinAspNetCoreCompatible(key, value, cookieHandler.Options);
}
actualCookieManager.AppendResponseCookie(context, key, value, options);
}
public void DeleteCookie(HttpContext context, string key, CookieOptions options)
{
actualCookieManager.DeleteCookie(context, key, options);
}
public string GetRequestCookie(HttpContext context, string key)
{
return actualCookieManager.GetRequestCookie(context, key);
}
private string MakeOwinAspNetCoreCompatible(string key, string cookieValue, CookieAuthenticationOptions options)
{
if (key.Equals("MySharedCookieName") && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(cookieValue))
{
AuthenticationTicket ticket = options.TicketDataFormat.Unprotect(cookieValue);
ClaimsPrincipal principal = ticket.Principal;
Claim aspNetCoreClaim = ticket.Principal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type.Equals(AspNetCoreSessionIdClaim));
Claim owinClaim = ticket.Principal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type.Equals(OwinSessionIdClaim));
Claim[] claims = null;
if (aspNetCoreClaim != null && owinClaim == null)
{
claims = new Claim[] { aspNetCoreClaim, new Claim(OwinSessionIdClaim, aspNetCoreClaim.Value) };
}
else if (aspNetCoreClaim == null && owinClaim != null)
{
claims = new Claim[] { owinClaim, new Claim(AspNetCoreSessionIdClaim, owinClaim.Value) };
}
if (claims?.Length > 0)
{
var newIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, principal.Identity.AuthenticationType);
principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(newIdentity);
ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(principal, ticket.AuthenticationScheme);
cookieValue = options.TicketDataFormat.Protect(ticket);
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
}
And then configuring it on the .AddCookie() call in ConfigureServices:
...
options.CookieManager = new OwinAspNetCompatibleCookieManager(new ChunkingCookieManager());
...
I ran into the same issue and banging my head to resolve this. But thanks to #Anthony Valeri to pointing right at where the issue is. So I came up with the solution below. (I was doing this as part of POC for one of our migration projects and this is not been tested in Production, but worked for POC.)

//Response.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/fido.trusted-apps+json");
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
foo = true
});
}
I always get application/fido.trusted-apps+json; charset=utf-8 when I only want application/fido.trusted-apps+json.
Note: This is to conform with the FIDO AppID and Facet Specification v1.0 for U2F which states:
The response must set a MIME Content-Type of "application/fido.trusted-apps+json".
I went with the following approach, using middleware to replace the header on the way out. Seems kinda hacky to have to use middleware like this:
Middleware
public class AdjustHeadersMiddleware
{
private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
public AdjustHeadersMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
{
_next = next;
}
public async Task Invoke(HttpContext httpContext, CurrentContext currentContext)
{
httpContext.Response.OnStarting((state) =>
{
if(httpContext.Response.Headers.Count > 0 && httpContext.Response.Headers.ContainsKey("Content-Type"))
{
var contentType = httpContext.Response.Headers["Content-Type"].ToString();
if(contentType.StartsWith("application/fido.trusted-apps+json"))
{
httpContext.Response.Headers.Remove("Content-Type");
httpContext.Response.Headers.Append("Content-Type", "application/fido.trusted-apps+json");
}
}
return Task.FromResult(0);
}, null);
await _next.Invoke(httpContext);
}
}
Startup.cs Configure()
app.UseMiddleware<AdjustHeadersMiddleware>();
I have found that you can use ContentResult to override this in your controller. So you could achieve what you want by doing the following for example
string bodyJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
foo = true
})
var response = new ContentResult()
{
Content = bodyJson,
ContentType = "application/fido.trusted-apps+json",
StatusCode = (int)System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK,
};
return response;
If the system requesting your MVC endpoint sends a proper Accept: application/fido.trusted-apps+json, then I believe a custom formatter is what you're looking for.
See:
ASP.Net Core Custom Formatters (sample code)
Write Your Own ASP.NET Core MVC Formatters
It would look something like this (borrowed from the second link):
public class FidoTrustedAppOutputFormatter : IOutputFormatter
{
public FidoTrustedAppOutputFormatter
{
SupportedMediaTypes.Add(MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/fido.trusted-apps+json"));
}
public bool CanWriteResult(OutputFormatterCanWriteContext context)
{
if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
if (context.ContentType == null || context.ContentType.ToString() == "application/fido.trusted-apps+json")
return true;
return false;
}
public async Task WriteAsync(OutputFormatterWriteContext context)
{
if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
var response = context.HttpContext.Response; response.ContentType = "application/fido.trusted-apps+json";
using (var writer = context.WriterFactory(response.Body, Encoding.UTF8))
{
// replace with Json.net implementation
Jil.JSON.Serialize(context.Object, writer);
await writer.FlushAsync();
}
}
}
public class FidoTrustedAppInputFormatter : IInputFormatter
{
public FidoTrustedAppInputFormatter
{
SupportedMediaTypes.Add(MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/fido.trusted-apps+json"));
}
public bool CanRead(OutputFormatterCanWriteContext context)
{
if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
if (context.ContentType == null || context.ContentType.ToString() == "application/fido.trusted-apps+json")
return true;
return false;
}
public Task<InputFormatterResult> ReadAsync(InputFormatterContext context)
{
if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
var request = context.HttpContext.Request; if (request.ContentLength == 0)
{
if (context.ModelType.GetTypeInfo().IsValueType)
return InputFormatterResult.SuccessAsync(Activator.CreateInstance(context.ModelType));
else return InputFormatterResult.SuccessAsync(null);
}
var encoding = Encoding.UTF8;//do we need to get this from the request im not sure yet
using (var reader = new StreamReader(context.HttpContext.Request.Body))
{
var model = Jil.JSON.Deserialize(reader, context.ModelType);
return InputFormatterResult.SuccessAsync(model);
}
}
}
Then register it in your startup:
services.AddMvcCore(options =>
{
options.InputFormatters.Insert(0, new FidoTrustedAppInputFormatter ());
options.OutputFormatters.Insert(0, new FidoTrustedAppOutputFormatter ());
});

Send Response using OWIN Middleware Web API

I am trying to customize access token json object in my Web APi 2 project.
Which I have done successfully. But I am unable to figure out the case of failed request.
Here is my custom response:-
{ data: {}, success: 0, message: "failed" }
And following is a GrantResourceOwnerCredentials methon in ApplicationOAuthProvider which inherits OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
{
ApplicationUserManager userManager = context.OwinContext.GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();
ApplicationUser user = userManager.Find(context.UserName, context.Password);
bool reqFailed = false;
string reqFailedMsg = "";
if (user == null)
{
reqFailed = true;
reqFailedMsg = "The user name or password is incorrect.";
}
if (!reqFailed && !user.EmailConfirmed)
{
reqFailed = true;
reqFailedMsg = "The user email is not confirmed.";
//context.SetError("invalid_grant", "The user email is not confirmed.");
//return;
}
if (!reqFailed && !user.IsActive)
{
reqFailed = true;
reqFailedMsg = "The user is disabled.";
//context.SetError("invalid_grant", "The user is disabled.");
//return;
}
if (reqFailed)
{
try
{
context.Response.Headers.Add(LMS.Utilities.Constants.MyMiddlewareHeader, new[] { (400).ToString() });
context.Response.Headers.Add(LMS.Utilities.Constants.MyMiddlewareHeaderMsg, new[] { reqFailedMsg });
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return;
}
var form = await context.Request.ReadFormAsync();
if (form["deviceType"] != null && form["deviceToken"] != null)
{
user.DeviceToken = form["deviceToken"];
user.DeviceType = form["deviceType"];
userManager.Update(user);
}
ClaimsIdentity oAuthIdentity = userManager.GenerateUserIdentity(userManager, user,
OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType);
ClaimsIdentity cookiesIdentity = userManager.GenerateUserIdentity(userManager, user,
CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
AuthenticationProperties properties = CreateProperties(user.UserName);
AuthenticationTicket ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(oAuthIdentity, properties);
context.Validated(ticket);
//context.Request.Context.Authentication.SignIn(cookiesIdentity);
context.Request.Context.Authentication.SignIn(properties, cookiesIdentity);
//return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
}
And middleware class:-
public class AuthenticationMiddleware : OwinMiddleware
{
public AuthenticationMiddleware(OwinMiddleware next) : base(next) {
}
public override async Task Invoke(IOwinContext context)
{
await Next.Invoke(context);
if (context.Response.Headers.ContainsKey(Constants.MyMiddlewareHeader))
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(context.Request.Body))
{
var headerValues = context.Response.Headers.GetValues(Constants.MyMiddlewareHeader);
context.Response.StatusCode = Convert.ToInt16(headerValues.FirstOrDefault());
context.Response.Headers.Remove(Constants.MyMiddlewareHeader);
var headerValuesMessage = context.Response.Headers.GetValues(Constants.MyMiddlewareHeaderMsg);
string msg = headerValuesMessage.FirstOrDefault().ToString();
context.Response.Headers.Remove(Constants.MyMiddlewareHeaderMsg);
string resp = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new ResponseViewModel<object>(new { }, (int)ResponseStatus.Fail, msg));
var response = context.Response;
var body = await reader.ReadToEndAsync();
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(resp);
response.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
await response.WriteAsync(bytes);
return;
}
}
}
}
What I am getting in respose is:-
{"error":"invalid_grant"}{"Data":{},"Status":0,"Message":"The user name or
Which is invalid json as you can see.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

WCF Forms Authentication authorization using ASP.NET roles = Access Denied?

I have a basic WPF application where the client writes to a database. I'm using IIS on a server 2012 machine to host the web service. I'm trying to implement Forms authentication, and I have all that working (passing a username and password in the xaml.cs from the client which authenticates my ASP.NET user which works. I then want to implement ASP.NET roles authorization for different commands (Submit Request, Remove Request, etc). The method we're supposed to use is "[PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "Allowed")]"
In theory this should just use the credentials passed in the client (which I've confirmed works) when I try to hit the buttons and it should check if the user I passed is in the role, and if so it allows and if not it denies. However, whether or not the user is in the role it still says "Access is Denied".
Any thoughts?

In order to be able to use PrincipalPermissionAttribute in this way, you need to first set Thread.CurrentPrincipal to a Principal with the appropriate roles ("Allowed" in this case).
For example you could use ClientRoleProvider to do this, or simply create the Principal manually (possibly using roles you retrieve from the web service).
