Certified OpenID Connect implementation.

Overview

IdentityServer is a .NET/Katana-based framework and hostable component that allows implementing single sign-on and access control for modern web applications and APIs using protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth2. It supports a wide range of clients like mobile, web, SPAs and desktop applications and is extensible to allow integration in new and existing architectures.

Watch this for the big picture: Introduction to OpenID Connect, OAuth2 and IdentityServer - and An Introduction to IdentityServer for a more code-centric talk.

Getting started

IdentityServer is designed as an OWIN/Katana component. By referencing the library or nuget you get a UseIdentityServer extension method for IAppBuilder that allows setting up IdentityServer in your OWIN host:

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
    var options = new IdentityServerOptions
    {
        SigningCertificate = Certificate.Get(),
        Factory = Factory.Create()
    };

    app.UseIdentityServer(options);
}

Note: If you're hosting in IIS, make sure you enable RAMMFAR in your web.config file.

For more information, e.g.

support for MembershipReboot and ASP.NET Identity based user stores
support for additional Katana authentication middleware (e.g. Google, Twitter, Facebook etc)
support for EntityFramework based persistence of configuration
support for WS-Federation
extensibility
