Enterprise Application Architecture with .NET Core

By: Ganesan Senthilvel, Adwait Ullal, Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan, Habib Qureshi

Overview of this book

If you want to design and develop enterprise applications using .NET Core as the development framework and learn about industry-wide best practices and guidelines, then this book is for you. The book starts with a brief introduction to enterprise architecture, which will help you to understand what enterprise architecture is and what the key components are. It will then teach you about the types of patterns and the principles of software development, and explain the various aspects of distributed computing to keep your applications effective and scalable. These chapters act as a catalyst to start the practical implementation, and design and develop applications using different architectural approaches, such as layered architecture, service oriented architecture, microservices and cloud-specific solutions. Gradually, you will learn about the different approaches and models of the Security framework and explore various authentication models and authorization techniques, such as social media-based authentication and safe storage using app secrets. By the end of the book, you will get to know the concepts and usage of the emerging fields, such as DevOps, BigData, architectural practices, and Artificial Intelligence.

Implementing external authentication in ASP.NET Core applications

Many applications these days have implemented external authentication on their websites. This enables users to use their existing login credentials of Twitter, Facebook, Hotmail, or any other and register on a website. This type of authentication provides several benefits to the user registering on a website. It facilitates users to use their existing credentials and avoid themselves from going through a lengthy registration process and remembering the credentials they have created.

ASP.NET Core provides a very easy and quick solution to configure external authentication using OAuth 2.0.

OAuth architecture and basic components are explained in the following section:
