Setup

of auditable

Please follow the Quick Example, this shows how to setup auditable fully

auditable’s implementation grabs the name and the id using the following Claims

initiatorCollector.Initiator = new Initiator
{
    Id =  user.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier), 
    Name = user.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.Name) 
};

of your OAuth Provider

Consider that you may have to Map from the OAuth Claim from your provider as follows:

• 1️⃣ id mapped to the NameIdentifier
• 2️⃣ name mapped to the Name

services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
    options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    options.DefaultSignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "GitHub";
})
.AddCookie()
.AddOAuth("GitHub", options =>
{
    //..

    options.ClaimActions.MapJsonKey(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, "id"); // 1️⃣
    options.ClaimActions.MapJsonKey(ClaimTypes.Name, "name"); // 2️⃣
    options.ClaimActions.MapJsonKey("urn:github:login", "login");
    
    //..
});
