IndentityServer4 with Windows Authentication

Question

User2031626020 posted

Hi - can anyone point me to resources that explain how to set up IdentityServer 4 with the following architecture:

• .NET Core web app using Windows authentication
• .NET Core web api that needs to be secured

This is being used for an internal web application, and should be a common use case, however the documentation is a bit unclear. Users should not need to sign in as they are already authenticated on the network. Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

Bill

.NET Core web app using Windows authentication

The docs cover the fundamentals.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/windowsauth?view=aspnetcore-3.1&tabs=visual-studio

As I understand Windows authentication is an external provider for Identity Server.
