Adding OpenID Connect to ASP.NET Core often starts with a call to AddOpenIdConnect(). But what actually happens under the hood?

In this session, we will build a practical mental model of OpenID Connect and explore the three key roles of the OpenID Connect handler: starting the authentication flow, handling the callback and obtaining tokens, and signing the user out.

Along the way, we will see how the application learns who the user is and obtains access to protected APIs. This talk will give you a solid starting point for understanding and using OpenID Connect in your ASP.NET Core applications.

Intro level talk for ASP.NET Core developers who wants to get a good mental model about how to start integrating OIDC with .NET. Why do we want OIDC, how to start adding it to .NET?

The talk is a mix of presentation and hands-on live coding.
