ASP.NET Core is here and this means you have a fundamentally new architecture for authenticating users in your applications. This session explores what that means for your application design. This session will first look at the simple authentication scenarios such as using a traditional password for authentication and then using external social media identity providers for single sign-on. Then you'll discuss why these simple approaches are not typically sufficient and why introducing your own single sign-on provider is important to your application architecture.

You will learn:

• About authenticating users with middleware
• About supporting external authentication
• About designing for single sign-on
