Stratara.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore
Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under
openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.
EF Core identity-directory plane for the Stratara stack: user↔tenant membership (many-to-many with tenant-scoped roles), active-tenant selection, and membership-backed authorization.
Contents
IdentityDirectoryDbContext<TContext>— standalone DbContext hosting all four directory tables (tenant_membership,active_tenant,setting_entry,api_key); derive a concrete context and own its migrations. To fold these into an existing context instead, callmodelBuilder.ApplyIdentityDirectoryModel()in itsOnModelCreating.ModelBuilder.ApplyIdentityDirectoryModel()— adds the same tables to an existing context (for example your ASP.NET Identity context) so they share one migration lineage.AddTenantMembershipStore<TContext>()— EF-backedITenantMembershipStore: forward lookup (a user's tenants), reverse lookup (a tenant's members), upsert, GDPR sweeps per user/tenant, and membership-guarded active-tenant switching.MembershipAuthorizationProvider/MembershipAuthorizationProvider<TUser>— the framework's defaultIAuthorizationProvider: role checks pass on tenant-scoped membership roles, theTUservariant additionally on global ASP.NET Identity roles (platform roles).AddMembershipCrossTenantAuthorizer(...)— membership-backedICrossTenantAuthorizerfor strict tenant isolation, with configurable cross-tenant roles for the operator-impersonation path (platform administrators without membership in the target tenant).AddPermissionCatalog(...)+AddCatalogPermissionResolver[<TUser>]()— the application's code-declared permission vocabulary with role grants, resolved from membership roles (and optionally global ASP.NET Identity roles) for[RequirePermission]enforcement and HTTP permission policies.AddApiKeyStore<TContext>()— API keys and personal access tokens:stk_-prefixed 256-bit keys (hash-only storage), fail-closed validation with expiry/revocation, erasure sweeps. Machine keys are materialized as tenant memberships, so they flow through the same role/permission plane as human actors; PATs act as their bound user.ImportAsyncstores a machine key the caller already holds (generated withApiKeyFormat.CreateRawKey()) for setups where the key must exist before boot — idempotent, never mutating an already-stored key.AddSettingCatalog(...)+AddSettingStore<TContext>()— scoped settings plane: code-declaredSettingDefinitions, row-per-key EF storage (setting_entry), a Subject-fedISettingProviderfallback chain (user-in-tenant → user → tenant → global → configuration → default), transparent AES-GCM encryption forIsEncrypteddefinitions, and per-user/per-tenant erasure sweeps.AddTenantMembershipStoreFromContextFactory<TContext>(),AddApiKeyStoreFromContextFactory<TContext>(),AddSettingStoreFromContextFactory<TContext>()— the same three stores, taking a fresh context per operation fromIDbContextFactory<TContext>instead of sharing the request's. See below.
One context for the request, or one per operation
The plain registrations give every directory store in a request the same context instance. A database context serves one operation at a time, so directory work issued concurrently inside one request fails on whichever operation arrives second — at the call site that lost the race, not the one that introduced the concurrency. Sharing also means a store's own commit commits whatever else the consumer has left unsaved on that context.
The …FromContextFactory variants remove both: each operation creates its own context and disposes
it. In exchange, a store write no longer takes part in a transaction the consumer opened on their own
scoped context. That trade is why the shared registration stays the default rather than being
replaced.
They require AddDbContextFactory<TContext>(); a missing registration fails at first resolution.
Keep the factory's options aligned with the scoped registration — interceptors, query filters and
conventions are configured per registration, not per context type. Calling both variants for the same
store leaves whichever ran first in place; they do not compose.

An erasure shreds every key that names the subject, and nothing stopped the next encryption for that subject
from creating a new one: a key store asked for a scope it does not hold creates a first version. A job, a request
in flight or a second process that encrypted for an erased subject afterwards got a fresh key, and what it wrote
stayed readable for good. The key store now records an erased subject and refuses to create a key for it again.
### Added
- **`IKeyStore.MarkSubjectErasedAsync(KeySubject)`** records that a tenant or user has been erased. It has a
default implementation that throws `NotSupportedException`, so an existing key store still compiles.
- **`KeySubject`** names the tenant or user, and `KeySubject.Covers(KeyScope)` states which keys belong to its
erasure: for a tenant, a key of any level that names it; for a user, a user-level key that names it.
- **`KeyScopeErasedException`** (an `InvalidOperationException`) is what a key store throws for such a scope. It
carries the refused `Scope`.
### Changed
- **An encryption for an erased subject fails.** After a subject's erasure, `GetOrCreateCurrentKeyAsync` and
`RotateAsync` throw `KeyScopeErasedException` for every scope the subject covers, whether or not it ever held a
key, and create nothing. The blob encryptor, the encrypting settings store and the field-encrypting serializer
pass it through. Code that erased a subject and then wrote encrypted data for it again now sees the exception;
the mark is permanent and cannot be lifted. Revoking every version of a scope is not an erasure and marks nothing.
- **`ISubjectEraser` marks the subject before it sweeps any plane**, so an encryption racing the erasure
either creates its key first, and that key is shredded with the rest, or is refused. A key store that cannot mark
a subject leaves the erasure as before and logs `SubjectNotMarkable` (112009).
- **The file-backed key store writes format version 2**, which holds the marks, and refuses to open a file in a
newer format than it knows. `InMemoryKeyStore` refuses an erased subject as the file store does; `DummyKeyStore`
refuses to mark one, as it refuses every erasure operation.
**Upgrading:**
- **Upgrade every process that shares a key store file in one step.** A process on an earlier release reads a
version-2 file, ignores the marks, creates keys for an erased subject and drops the marks the next time it writes
the file. A version-1 file needs no migration. Rolling back is possible but loses the marks on the first write.
- **Map `KeyScopeErasedException` to your answer for data that is gone**, if a request can reach an encryption for
a subject after its erasure.
- **A key store of your own implements `MarkSubjectErasedAsync`**, refusing in `GetOrCreateCurrentKeyAsync` and
`RotateAsync` every scope a marked subject `Covers`. Without it the erasure warns and the gap stays open.
