Summary

In this chapter, you learned about Azure AD B2C. Azure AD B2C is an application service from Azure that helps in the administration of customer and consumer access to your B2C applications. We learned how to create an Azure AD B2C tenant and how to create and customize user flows – which will be useful for signing up and signing in users to the ASP.NET Core application. Then, we learned about configuring sign-up and sign-in to ASP.NET Core MVC applications using the web application client. Then, we explored implementing authentication in SPAs using Azure AD B2C and JavaScript. Finally, we learned about configuring social providers with Azure AD B2C with Google. The Azure AD B2C service helps us to configure a secure and customizable identity service so that we don’t need to write application code for managing authentication and authorization. With the help of various SDKs and REST APIs, we can also incorporate Azure AD B2C into any kind of application, such as...
