multi-layered web application user registration options


Newbie here.

I've seen quite a few examples where IdentityServer is used for user authentication and authorization, but that assumes I've a way to register users.

I'm planning an Angular front-end and an ASP.net Core C# application using Clean Architecture principles. I want to register the users and then have IdentityServer4 manage the authentication and authorization for my application.

What technical options do I've to register my users?

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Well, IdentityServer plugs into the asp NET Core Identity, and supports local user accounts but also social accounts, all you need is a database for Core Identity to store the user data and you're good to go.

    And here's a tip if you have questions like this again, remember this first: Microsoft does an awesome job documenting anything .NET Core related, there is so much good hands-on information out there, that should be your first go-to. The documentation on identity & identity server you can find here.
