An identity provider enables you to do centralized authentication with single sign-on using industry standards. Cloud services are great as long as you don’t need customization beyond of what it offers. This is where creating your own with IdentityServer comes in. I’ll show you the ins and outs of creating the service but not before I make sure you understand the terminology around it. Once you get the basics we’ll get into beyond the basics mode and I’ll show you some of the other marvelous things that a custom identity provider brings. After this session you’re ready to implement a identity provider in ASP.NET Core that supports authentication across your organization. By the way: Maybe you already saw my session about ASP.NET Core Security in general. Come anyway, because this is not only a refresher but also a deeper dive into IdentityServer.
