来自 REST API 调用的错误消息未显示在 B2C 自定义策略中

Question

I have a self asserted technical profile in my custom policy, it have a validation technical profile which is a REST API (azure function) call. I'm not directly calling the azure function from policy, from policy will call azure APIM and APIM will pass the request to azure function.

The problem I'm facing is when my function returns a custom error message it is not showing as expected in policy.

return new OkObjectResult(new ResponseContentModel
      {
       userMessage = "Sorry, Please provide valid information ",
       status = 409,
       retryCounter = data.RetryCounter
     });

My technical profile is as follows:

<TechnicalProfile Id="Registration">
          <DisplayName>Email signup</DisplayName>
          <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.SelfAssertedAttributeProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

          </ValidationTechnicalProfiles>
          <UseTechnicalProfileForSessionManagement ReferenceId="SM-Noop" />
        </TechnicalProfile>

The REST API validation technical profile is as follows:

<TechnicalProfile Id="API-Validate-UserInfo">
                <DisplayName>User OTP Notifications</DisplayName>    
                <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.RestfulProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

                <UseTechnicalProfileForSessionManagement ReferenceId="SM-Noop" />
            </TechnicalProfile>

Error message showing in the UI is:

The claims exchange 'API-Validate-UserInfo' specified in step '5' returned HTTP error response with Code 'BadRequest' and Reason 'Bad Request'.

About the function, i'm using .net core 3.1 and function runtime version is ~3

Answer 1

Found the issue referred this article. Need to include version into the response message version, status and userMessage are mandatory fields for error response message.

{
  version = "1.0.0",
  userMessage = "Sorry, Something happened unexpectedly. Please try after sometime.",
  status = 409,
 }

Answer 2

Following this documentation, this is the required error structure:

Returning validation error message

further more, make sure that the response should has http error code corresponding to the content error code:

return StatusCode(409, new ResponseContent { userMessage = ex.Message });

where ResponseContent has the following structure:

        public class ResponseContent : IResult
    {
        public string version { get; set; }
        public int status { get; set; }
        public string code { get; set; }
        public string userMessage { get; set; }
        public string developerMessage { get; set; }
        public string requestId { get; set; }
        public string moreInfo { get; set; }

        public ResponseContent()
        {
            version = "1.0.0";
            status = 409;
            code = "API12345";
            requestId = "50f0bd91-2ff4-4b8f-828f-00f170519ddb";
            userMessage = "Message for the user";
            developerMessage = "Verbose description of problem and how to fix it.";
            moreInfo = "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/restful-technical-profile#returning-validation-error-message";
        }
    }
