In the preceding sections, we learnt about different authentication providers to authenticate users and manage them using Identity membership provider. Enterprise applications, however, consist of various APIs and those APIs should be protected so only authenticated users can access them. OAuth is widely used to protect APIs or resources deployed on a server and it provides them with a uniform interface by accepting an access token from consumers and based on its validity, returns a response. OAuth is not good for authentication as anybody having the same access token can access resources. To overcome this scenario, OpenID Connect (OIDC) is introduced, which adds an extension to OAuth and makes it more secure. IdentityServer4 provides the middleware to implement these scenarios in an easy and straightforward way, which we will discuss next.

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.
