This article shows how to implement authorization in an ASP.NET Core application which uses Azure security groups for the user definitions and Azure B2C to authenticate. Microsoft Graph API is used to access the Azure group definitions for the signed in user. The client credentials flow is used to authorize the Graph API client with […]
This article shows how to improve the security of an ASP.NET Core Web API application by adding security headers to all HTTP API responses. The security headers are added using the NetEscapades.AspNetCore.SecurityHeaders Nuget package from Andrew Lock. The headers are used to protect the session, not for authorization. The application uses Microsoft.Identity.Web to authorize the […]
This article shows how to improve the security of an ASP.NET Core Blazor application by adding security headers to all HTTP Razor Page responses (Blazor WASM hosted in a ASP.NET Core hosted backend). The security headers are added using the NetEscapades.AspNetCore.SecurityHeaders Nuget package from Andrew Lock. The headers are used to protect the session, not […]

Securing ASP.NET Core Razor Pages, Web APIs with Azure B2C external and Azure AD internal identities
This article shows how to implement an ASP.NET Core Razor page to authenticate against Azure B2C and use Web APIs from a second ASP.NET Core application which are also protected using Azure B2C App registrations. Azure B2C uses the signin, signup user flow and allows identities to authenticate using an Azure AD single tenant. Two […]
This post shows how Azure Service bus subscription for topics or consumers for a queue, or can be used inside an ASP.NET Core application. The Azure Service Bus client listens to events and needs to be started, stopped and registered to the topic to receive messages. An IHostedService is used for this. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/AspNetCoreServiceBus Posts […]
The article shows how an ASP.NET Core application could implement a sign in and a sign out with two different Azure App registrations which could also be implemented using separate identity providers (tenants). The user of the application can decide to authenticate against either one of the Azure AD clients. The clients can also be […]
This article shows how integration tests could be implemented for an ASP.NET Core application which uses EF Core and Azure Cosmos. The database tests can be run locally or in an Azure DevOps build using the Azure Cosmos emulator. XUnit is used to implement the tests. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/AspNetCoreEfCoreCosmosTesting EF Core is used to the access […]
