Authentication Support in Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Project Template: An Overview

Authentication Support in Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Project Template: An Overview

The process of ascertaining a user’s identity and validating whether the person has access to a resource is known as authentication. By adding authentication support to your web apps, you can specify who has view access.

The Syncfusion ASP.NET Core project template provides authentication support for creating secure ASP.NET Core web apps with model-view-controller, Angular, and React templates. It supports various authentication types, namely individual accounts, Microsoft identity platform, and Windows.

Let’s see how to use the different authentications supported in the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core project template to secure your apps.

Prerequisites

Install the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core project template extension

The Syncfusion ASP.NET Core project template is available as an extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace.

You can also directly install it from Visual Studio by navigating to Extensions -> Manage Extensions -> Online, searching for the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Extension, and installing it.

Note: Refer to the blog Syncfusion VS Extensions Now on the Visual Studio Marketplace! to learn more about the extensions and how to install them.

Step 1: To create the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core project, do one of the following options:

Option 1

Click Extensions -> Syncfusion –Essential Studio for ASP.NET Core –> Create New Syncfusion Project in Visual Studio. Refer to the following image.

    Select the required project type
  • .NET Core Version: Select the required .NET Core version for the project.
    Select the required .NET Core version
  • Assets From: Load the Syncfusion EJ2 assets for the ASP.NET Core project from NPM, CDN, or an installed location.

    Note: The installed location option will be available only when the Syncfusion Essential JS 2 setup has been installed.

  •  Themes: Choose a required theme from the list of themes.
    Select the required theme
  • Authentication Type: The authentication types will be listed based on the selected project type. Choose the required authentication type from the list.
    Select the required authentication type

    Note: Microsoft identity authentication and Windows authentication will not be shown for Angular and React projects.

Step 4: Click Create. The Syncfusion ASP.NET Core app will be created with the specified configuration. Refer to the following image.Created Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Application

The created Syncfusion ASP.NET Core app configures the most recent Syncfusion ASP.NET Core NuGet packages, selected style, scripts, and NPM packages to render Syncfusion components.

Step 5: The Syncfusion license registration message box will be shown if you installed the trial setup or NuGet packages. Navigate to the help topic shown in the licensing message box for instructions on generating and registering the Syncfusion license key to your project.

Now that we have configured the project, let’s see about authentication.

Authentication configuration

For the Microsoft identity platform, we need to register the newly created app in Azure Active Directory. We can obtain the tenant ID and application client ID for the Microsoft identity platform through Azure Active Directory registration.

We have to configure these ID values in the created app, and only then will authentication work in the app.

Note: You don’t need to configure the application for both the individual and Windows authentications.

Microsoft identity platform

Step 1: Go to the Azure Active Directory App registrations page and then click the Azure Active Directory App Registration link.

Step 2: Click the New Registration tab on the App registrations page.

Provide the name for the applicationStep 4: Scroll down the App registrations page, set the platform as web, and provide your app Redirect URI with a signin-oidc string. E.g.: {Redirect URI}/signin-oidc. Then click Register.

Provide the Redirect URI and click on RegisterStep 5: Now our app is registered. Go to the Authentication page and select the ID tokens checkbox. Refer to the following image.
