Secure Razor Pages with SSO in ASP.NET Core

Securing web applications is a critical skill for modern developers, yet setting up authentication can often feel overwhelming. This course guides you through the process of implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) and access control in your ASP.NET Core applications. You will transition from building open web pages to designing robust, secure Razor Pages that restrict access based on user identity. Through clear written explanations, code walkthroughs, and practical exercises, you will master the fundamentals of modern web security. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core concepts of authentication, authorization, and Single Sign-On (SSO) protocols. 2. Configure ASP.NET Core middleware to handle secure user sessions and identity providers. 3. Apply authorization attributes to restrict access to specific Razor Pages. 4. Configure anonymous access exceptions for public-facing pages within secure areas. 5. Implement modern authentication flows using OpenID Connect and OAuth2 standards. 6. Practice troubleshooting common routing and authorization issues through written code analysis. The course begins with foundational security definitions and authentication concepts before walking you through step-by-step configuration and implementation. You will explore real-world scenarios, including mixing public and private pages, while learning modern security best practices. This course is designed for beginner web developers looking to expand their skills, with no prior security experience required.
