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.

Getting started with IdentityServer4

IdentityServer4 is the framework and hostable component that was created by the developers at Thinktecture, but now it is the recommended approach by Microsoft for providing single sign-on, federation gateway, and access control features to modern web applications and APIs using OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 protocols. It is highly optimized to address the security problems and provide certain APIs to implement your own STS (Secure Token Service) provider that generates access tokens for your client and the resource owners who wanted to access resource servers. It is a successor of IdentityServer3 and is completely developed on top of .NET Core. Moreover, it is also part of .NET foundation, and you can learn more about this at https://identityserver.github.io.

With IdentityServer4, we can implement the following features:
