Secure ASP.NET Core MVC Apps with SSO: Public and Admin Views

Building modern web applications requires a clear separation between what anonymous visitors can see and what administrative users can control. Securing these boundaries while providing a seamless login experience is a critical skill for any web developer. This written course guides you through the process of setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) and configuring precise authorization rules in ASP.NET Core MVC. You will understand how to structure your controllers, secure your views, and implement robust role-based access control to keep your application safe. What you'll learn: 1. Understand foundational authentication and authorization concepts, including modern SSO, OpenID Connect, and OAuth2. 2. Configure public and admin views within an ASP.NET Core MVC application structure. 3. Implement role-based and policy-based authorization to restrict access to sensitive administrative features. 4. Connect your application to an external identity provider for seamless Single Sign-On authentication. 5. Practice securing controllers and action methods using built-in authorization attributes. 6. Learn to dynamically toggle UI elements in your views based on user permissions and roles. You will begin by exploring the core terminology of modern identity management and the architecture of ASP.NET Core MVC security. From there, you will read through step-by-step implementation guides, examining clean code examples that demonstrate how to restrict routes, handle unauthorized access, and manage user claims. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate web developers who have a basic understanding of C# and MVC architecture but are new to implementing SSO and role-based authorization. No prior security implementation experience is required. Start building secure, enterprise-ready web applications today by mastering MVC authorization and SSO.
