Concrete session-context provider + ASP.NET Core middleware for Stratara's Actor/Subject session model. Reads tenant + user identity from JWT claims (with optional X-Tenant-Id / X-Client-Id header fallbacks), populates the ambient ISessionContextProvider, and exposes the Actor/Subject pair to every request.

Since 3.0.10: the X-Tenant-Id header fallback is opt-in via SessionContextOptions.AllowTenantHeader = true (default false). Without the gate, any authenticated principal could pick the tenant their request operated against in hosts whose JWT does not carry the tenant claim. Embed the tenant id in the JWT claim set, or opt in explicitly when an upstream platform-admin role check guards the header.

Quick start

// Program.cs / Startup.cs
builder.Services.AddSessionContext();

// In the middleware pipeline:
app.UseMiddleware<SessionContextMiddleware>();

Then resolve in any scoped service:

public sealed class SomeHandler(ISessionContextProvider sessionContextProvider)
{
    public async Task HandleAsync(...) {
        var session = sessionContextProvider.Current
            ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Session context not set");

        // session.TenantId        = Subject (data owner) — used for filtering / encryption AAD
        // session.UserId          = Subject user (nullable)
        // session.ActorTenantId   = Actor (who triggered) — audit trail
        // session.ActorUserId     = Actor user — audit trail
    }
}

What's in the box

  • SessionContextProvider — internal sealed impl of ISessionContextProvider, scoped per request. Writes Activity tags (correlation.id, causation.id, tenant.id, user.id) automatically on Set / Clear.
  • SessionContextMiddleware — ASP.NET Core middleware that extracts tenant + user from ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier + stratara:tenant_id claim (with optional X-Tenant-Id header fallback gated by SessionContextOptions.AllowTenantHeader) and constructs a SessionContext whose actor tenant and data-owner tenant are the claimed tenant, whose actor user is the claimed user, and whose data-owner user is left unset. It stays unset on purpose: the scope a protected field is encrypted under follows the data owner, so filling in the user would move every protected field written from a request to a per-user scope.
  • SessionContextOptions — configuration controlling the header fallback gate. AddSessionContext() reads it from the SessionContext section of the host's configuration; services.Configure<SessionContextOptions>(...) after that call takes precedence. Since 4.2.0 the section is read — an "AllowTenantHeader": true that did nothing before turns the fallback on.
  • StrataraClaimTypes — claim-name constants (stratara:tenant_id).
  • DefaultTenantIdentifier — sentinel Guid used when no tenant claim or header is present (typically anonymous / system flows).
  • AddSessionContext() DI extension — registers the concrete provider as a scoped service against ISessionContextProvider.

Adopting the Actor/Subject model

For most operations the actor's tenant is the data-owner tenant — a user acts on their own tenant's data — while the data-owner user stays unset unless the application sets it. The tenants only diverge for:

  • PlatformAdmin cross-tenant operations (Subject = customer tenant, Actor = admin tenant)
  • Anonymous endpoints (Actor = Guid.Empty, Subject = the just-minted tenant)
  • System / saga flows (Actor = SessionContext.SystemActorTenantId / SystemActorUserId)

Consumers that reject ambient context (libraries that prefer explicit TenantId parameters everywhere) do not need to take this package — Stratara.Mediator and the rest of the framework work without an ISessionContextProvider registered as long as no path requires it.

Stratara.Shared

Umbrella package for the Stratara framework — source-generated logger extensions for command flows, domain-event helpers, merge primitives, and the Tier-A/B abstractions surface re-exported as one transitive bundle.

Stratara.Outbox.RabbitMQ

Outbox-pattern command and event dispatch for the Stratara event-sourced stack — RabbitMQ IMessageBus implementation, retry worker, mediator command worker, and Redis-coordinated projection-replay state. Azure Service Bus support ships as the sibling Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus package.

Stratara.Infrastructure

Infrastructure glue for the Stratara framework — authorization decorators, configuration providers, and DI composition helpers that wire Mediator, Outbox, Identity, and EF Core into a hosted app.

Loading failed

A release about a flag that cost too much. Every host sharing the replay coordination state over Redis
asked Redis, with a blocking round trip on the calling thread, whether a replay was active — and the
Orleans execution model asked on every hot path, eight to ten times per command on a host with three
projections, inside grain turns. On a two-core host that was enough to starve the thread pool and time
the Redis connection out, surfacing as failed catch-ups, lagging read models and failed grain
registrations although no replay ever ran. The answer now comes from memory. No migration is needed;
one optional setting is new.

### Fixed

- **No path waits on Redis to learn whether a replay is active.** The Redis-backed replay state answers
 `IsReplayActive` from a field. A change made in the host itself is seen there at once; a change made
 elsewhere — a replay that began or ended in another host, or a marking that lapsed — is announced over
 a channel beside the replay-request channel and seen within its latency, and every host re-reads the
 marking every `ProjectionReplay:RefreshSeconds` regardless, as the safety net for a lost announcement.
 The Orleans execution model's command dispatcher, bundle dispatcher, store readers and drain, and the
 bus dispatchers, make no Redis call for it any more. Nothing changes for a host without Redis, whose
 state was in process already, nor for a host that registers its own `IProjectionReplayState`.

### Added

- **`ProjectionReplayOptions.RefreshSeconds`** (default 5), read from the `ProjectionReplay` section
 like the lease. It bounds how long a host answers from a replay marking that changed elsewhere where the
 announcement was lost. Refused when the host starts at zero or below, and at or above
 `LeaseSeconds`, with an `OptionsValidationException` naming `ProjectionReplay:RefreshSeconds`.
- **Log events `104_015` to `104_018`.** A host that cannot refresh the replay marking from Redis says
 so once at Warning (`104_015`) and keeps its last answer; `104_016` at Information says it reads the
 marking again. A host that cannot subscribe to the marking's announcements says so once at Warning
 (`104_017`), sees a change on the refresh period only, and `104_018` says it is subscribed again.

### Changed

- **A host that cannot reach Redis keeps its last answer about the replay.** Before, every dispatch and
 every catch-up on such a host failed with the connection's exception. Now they proceed on what the host
 last learned — initially that no replay is active — and the loss is logged once. The replay stays
 correct regardless: on the Orleans execution model the readers are paused by the rebuild and the
 replay themselves, and apply the store from the beginning once more when the replay ends.
- **Rolling upgrade.** A host on a release before this one announces nothing when it starts or ends a
 replay, so a host on this release sees that replay at the refresh period rather than at once. The
 marking, its key and its lease are unchanged, so the two releases share one replay state.
