Last week I was mainly interested in deeply understanding OAuth, JWT and how to implement it in .NET (Core).
- https://stormpath.com/blog/authentication-asp-net-core - simple list of basic tools you can use in .NET. Not perfect, but a good point to start.
- http://nordicapis.com/how-to-handle-batch-processing-with-oauth-2-0/ - great explanation how we can use OAuth in batch processing. I’m not 100% sure that it is a perfect solution, but this opens my mind to new ideas.
- http://kevinchalet.com/2016/07/13/creating-your-own-openid-connect-server-with-asos-creating-your-own-authorization-provider/ - this not a single post, but a long series. Strongly recommend if you want to understand how OAuth is working.
- MsBuild day 1 video from ~53:00 about how to switch user authentication in ASP.NET Core.
- If you know Polish you can read Marek Grabarz posts about OAuth in Azure B2C - https://marekgrabarz.pl/tag/oauth2-0/
- Another post series (thanks got to Tomasz Onyszko) about Open id connect. The most interesting article: OpenID Connect Session Management using an Angular application and IdentityServer4
What else?
- Universities finally realize that Java is a bad introductory programming language - do you remember your first programming lesson? I do and for writing simple “Hello World” I had to use many strange words like
public static void Main. Isn’t this too complicated for a beginner?
