Training: Identity 2.0 fundamentals

Since the release of Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 Microsoft has provided tools to implement the patterns around user authentication and authorization. Since introducing the provider model which supported core requirements of login with a username and a password, and the accompanying tools and controls available in the WinForms platform, the industry has matured and changed. Today you need to be able to support devices and users coming into our app from a wide variety of sources. You've seen the explosion of Social Media and 3rd party identity providers that you need to integrate. You also need a way to get more confidence that a user is who they say they are, with things like Multi-Factor Authentication. In this latest release of Identity you will see how well they meet the needs of a modern web app. You will explore the features and the implementation so you will know what it can do and how you can use it.

In this course you are going to take a look at integrating advanced new features of identity into our application. This includes things like implementing messaging via email or text to the users to support account verification, multi-factor authentication, and more. You'll also see how to work with the Authorization framework of Roles and Claims and see how to use them in our app.
