Authentication with multiple identity providers in ASP.NET Core
This article shows how to implement authentication in ASP.NET Core using multiple identity providers or secure token servers. When using multiple identity providers, the authentication flows need to be separated per scheme for the sign-in flow and the sign-out flow. The claims are different and would require mapping logic depending on the authorization logic of […]
Secure Angular application using OpenIddict and ASP.NET Core with BFF
The article shows how an Angular nx Standalone UI hosted in an ASP.NET Core application can be secured using cookies. OpenIddict is used as the identity provider. The trusted application is protected using the Open ID Connect code flow with a secret and using PKCE. The API calls are protected using the secure cookie and anti-forgery […]
Implement the OAUTH 2.0 Token Exchange delegated flow between an Microsoft Entra ID API and an API protected using OpenIddict
This article shows how to implement the OAUTH 2.0 Token Exchange RFC 8693 delegated flow between two APIs, one using Microsoft Entra ID to authorize the HTTP requests and a second API protected using OpenIddict. The Microsoft Entra ID protected API uses the OAUTH 2.0 Token Exchange RFC 8693 delegated flow to get a new […]
Implement the On Behalf Of flow between an Azure AD protected API and an API protected using OpenIddict
This article shows how to implement the On Behalf Of flow between two APIs, one using Azure AD to authorize the HTTP requests and a second API protected using OpenIddict. The Azure AD protected API uses the On Behalf Of flow (OBO) to get a new OpenIddict delegated access token using the AAD delegated access […]
Implement a GRPC API with OpenIddict and the OAuth client credentials flow
This post shows how to implement a GRPC service implemented in an ASP.NET Core kestrel hosted service. The GRPC service is protected using an access token. The client application uses the OAuth2 client credentials flow with introspection and the reference token is used to get access to the GRPC service. The GRPC API uses introspection […]
Implement an OpenIddict identity provider using ASP.NET Core Identity with Keycloak federation
This post shows how to setup a Keycloak external authentication in an OpenIddict identity provider using ASP.NET Core identity. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/AspNetCoreOpeniddict Setup The solution context implements OpenID Connect clients which use an OpenIddict identity provider and ASP.NET Core Identity to manage the accounts. All clients authenticate using the OpenIddict server. Keycloak is used as an […]
Using Blazor with a YARP downstream API protected using certificate authentication
This article shows how to use a downstream API protected with certificate authentication using Microsoft YARP reverse proxy from a Blazor application. The Blazor WASM HTTP requests are sent to a secured backend which uses YARP to forward the requests to the API protected with the certificate authentication. The Blazor application authenticates using the OpenIddict […]
Secure a Blazor WASM ASP.NET Core hosted APP using BFF and OpenIddict
This article shows how to implement authentication and secure a Blazor WASM application hosted in ASP.NET Core using the backend for frontend (BFF) security architecture to authenticate. All security is implemented in the backend and the Blazor WASM is a view of the ASP.NET Core application, no security is implemented in the public client. The […]
