Identity Management with Azure AD B2C for .NET Developers

Managing user identities and external logins is a critical requirement for modern web applications. This course provides a clear path for .NET developers to implement secure, scalable authentication using Azure AD B2C. You will gain the skills to configure identity providers, protect your backend APIs, and manage user journeys without writing complex security code from scratch. By reading through practical implementation steps, you will learn to bridge the gap between application code and cloud-based identity services. What you'll learn: - Understand core identity concepts including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and modern JWT-based authentication. - Configure Azure AD B2C tenants to handle user sign-up, sign-in, and profile management. - Integrate external social identity providers to allow users to log in with existing accounts. - Secure ASP.NET Core Web Apps and Web APIs using modern middleware and policy-based authorization. - Implement security best practices like Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) for enhanced protection. - Customize user flows and branding to create a seamless authentication experience for customers. The course begins with foundational identity terminology and basic tenant configuration before moving into the practical integration of security logic into .NET codebases. You will explore how to handle tokens, claims, and secure communication between clients and services. This course is designed for .NET developers new to cloud-based identity management. No prior experience with Azure AD B2C is required, though a basic understanding of C# and web development is helpful. Start building secure, identity-driven applications today.
