Implementation Details

Fix 6: Performance Index Migration (30 minutes) ✅

Problem: Missing composite index ix_user_tenant_roles_tenant_role caused slow queries when filtering users by tenant and role.

Solution: Created database migration to add composite index on (tenant_id, role) columns.

Files Modified:

• UserTenantRoleConfiguration.cs - Added index configuration
• 20251103222250_AddUserTenantRolesPerformanceIndex.cs - Migration file
• IdentityDbContextModelSnapshot.cs - EF Core snapshot

Implementation:

// UserTenantRoleConfiguration.cs
builder.HasIndex("TenantId", "Role")
    .HasDatabaseName("ix_user_tenant_roles_tenant_role");

Migration SQL:

CREATE INDEX ix_user_tenant_roles_tenant_role
ON identity.user_tenant_roles (tenant_id, role);

Benefits:

• Optimizes ListTenantUsers query performance
• Faster role-based filtering
• Improved scalability for large tenant user lists

Status: ✅ Migration applied successfully

---

Fix 5: Pagination Enhancement (15 minutes) ✅

Problem: PagedResultDto<T> was missing helper properties for UI pagination controls.

Solution: Added HasPreviousPage and HasNextPage computed properties to PagedResultDto.

Files Modified:

• PagedResultDto.cs - Added pagination helper properties

Implementation:

public record PagedResultDto<T>(
    List<T> Items,
    int TotalCount,
    int PageNumber,
    int PageSize,
    int TotalPages)
{
    public bool HasPreviousPage => PageNumber > 1;
    public bool HasNextPage => PageNumber < TotalPages;
};

Verification:

• Pagination already fully implemented in ListTenantUsersQuery
• TenantUsersController already accepts pageNumber and pageSize parameters
• ListTenantUsersQueryHandler already returns PagedResultDto<UserWithRoleDto>

Benefits:

• Simplifies frontend pagination UI implementation
• Eliminates need for client-side pagination logic
• Consistent pagination API across all endpoints

Status: ✅ Complete (enhancement only)

---

Fix 4: ResendVerificationEmail Feature (1 hour) ✅

Problem: Users could not resend verification email if lost or expired. Missing feature for email verification retry.

Solution: Implemented complete resend verification email flow with enterprise-grade security.

Files Created:

1. ResendVerificationEmailCommand.cs - Command definition
2. ResendVerificationEmailCommandHandler.cs - Handler with security features

Files Modified:

• AuthController.cs - Added POST /api/auth/resend-verification endpoint

Security Features Implemented:

1. Email Enumeration Prevention

   • Always returns success response (even if email doesn't exist)
   • Generic message: "If the email exists, a verification link has been sent."
   • Prevents attackers from discovering valid email addresses

2. Rate Limiting

   • Max 1 email per minute per address
   • Uses IRateLimitService with 60-second window
   • Still returns success if rate limited (security)

3. Token Rotation

   • Invalidates old verification token
   • Generates new token with SHA-256 hashing
   • 24-hour expiration on new token

4. Comprehensive Logging

   • Logs all verification attempts
   • Security audit trail for compliance
   • Tracks rate limit violations

API Endpoint:

Request:

POST /api/auth/resend-verification
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "tenantId": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"
}

Response (Always Success):

{
  "message": "If the email exists, a verification link has been sent.",
  "success": true
}

Implementation Highlights:

// ResendVerificationEmailCommandHandler.cs
public async Task<bool> Handle(ResendVerificationEmailCommand request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    // 1. Find user (no enumeration)
    var user = await _userRepository.GetByEmailAsync(tenantId, email, cancellationToken);
    if (user == null) return true; // Don't reveal user doesn't exist

    // 2. Check if already verified
    if (user.IsEmailVerified) return true; // Success if already verified

    // 3. Rate limit check
    var isAllowed = await _rateLimitService.IsAllowedAsync(
        rateLimitKey, maxAttempts: 1, window: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1), cancellationToken);
    if (!isAllowed) return true; // Still return success

    // 4. Generate new token with SHA-256 hashing
    var token = _tokenService.GenerateToken();
    var tokenHash = _tokenService.HashToken(token);

    // 5. Create new verification token (invalidates old)
    var verificationToken = EmailVerificationToken.Create(...);
    await _tokenRepository.AddAsync(verificationToken, cancellationToken);

    // 6. Send email
    await _emailService.SendEmailAsync(emailMessage, cancellationToken);

    // 7. Always return success (prevent enumeration)
    return true;
}

Benefits:

• Improved user experience (can resend verification)
• Enterprise-grade security (enumeration prevention, rate limiting)
• Audit trail for compliance
• Token rotation prevents replay attacks

Status: ✅ Complete with comprehensive security
