  • POPIdentity

    A lightweight, low-opinion, mini-library for social and third-party logins in ASP.NET Core.

  • I stumbled upon this because of a Twitter thread that the algorithm suggested, with David Fowler in it. I give him a lot of credit, because he seems very patient. I wrote a little library just to take the auth secret, make the post to the third party, and get claims back to use in my own user management and auth bits. I still rely on the .Net auth cookie stuff, and the rest is not well documented. They insist that it's not tightly coupled to EF, but you won't find any docs that explain that.

  • ASP.NET Core

    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  • Just look at the god awful mess they created in their implementations: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/tree/main/src/Security/Authentication

  • JHipster.NET

    JHipster.NET blueprint

  • Well, I happen to be involved in a code generator (https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-dotnetcore).
