Workflow of Authentication Federation with ASP.Net Identity in Web API and several mobile apps

Question

User1259642964 posted

Hi. I have implemented a Web API with ASP.Net Identity JWT Authentication to serve as a authentication server.

Supposing i have several mobile apps consuming their own resource servers and each of them relying on the authentication server just for user registration/login/reset, i don't see a way of preventing having the same form for registration, login, password reset, on all mobile apps, even if the programming logic of the authentication is on the auth server.

Could you tell me please nowdays how are the giants implementing this? Or even if you have any other suggestions of how the workflow could be?

Thank you.

Hi Don Quixote,

i don't see a way of preventing having the same form for registration, login, password reset

I am not sure your requirement. What's meaning of preventing having the same form for registration, login, password reset? Could you explain more?

Best Regards,

Hello Candice. My goal is to do the same as i see on Web platform applications, where you have several web apps delegating authentication and registration to another web app which in turn will do the work. Google is an example, Microsoft another.

In web environment, when you call google's login page from your web app you send the return url, so that google know where to send the token as parameter, if authentication conceeded.

This is what i can't replicate on a mobile platform environment.
