Implementing Single Sign-On in Blazor Server with OIDC

Securing modern web applications requires robust, standardized authentication flows, yet setting up identity federation can feel overwhelming. This course guides you through the process of integrating Single Sign-On (SSO) into your Blazor Server applications using OpenID Connect (OIDC). You will transition from understanding basic security concepts to successfully configuring and managing secure user sessions in a production-ready ASP.NET Core environment. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of identity federation, OAuth protocols, and OpenID Connect specifications. - Configure OIDC middleware within the modern ASP.NET Core authentication pipeline. - Manage user identity, secure cookies, and claims transformation inside Blazor Server components. - Implement best-practice security measures, including PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) and secure token storage. - Troubleshoot common authentication handshaking and redirection issues. You will begin by mastering essential terminology and architectural patterns before moving into step-by-step configuration files and code-based implementation. By reading through practical scenarios and analyzing clear code snippets, you will build a solid foundation in modern web security. This course is designed for web developers and software enthusiasts who are new to identity management and want a clear, conceptual path to securing Blazor Server apps without needing prior cryptography experience.
