Hosting MVC app in SharePoint 2013 site collection

Question

I developed an MVC application which I would like to host on SharePoint 2013 on-prem server. I do not want to host it as a provider hosted app but rather tightly integrate it with existing SharePoint web applications, maybe, in layouts directory or some other directory? Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think this isn’t the right direction.

Asp.net MVC has it’s own authentication/authorization based on your implementation.

You could implement SSO between MVC and SharePoint if you don’t want to convert MVC as provider-hosted add-in.

Here is one thread for you reference.
