Melbourne .NET User Group: Taking the Challenge out of Auth with OpenID Connect presented by Ben Dechrai
Authentication for a simple website is relatively easy. A user table, a login form, and TLS. Add multi-server scaling to the mix, and you need to consider distributed or shared sessions.
When you add in some internal APIs or consider SOA, you introduce even greater complexity. Perhaps a shared user database and hashing algorithms.
OpenID Connect may be the answer to your challenge. It scales, it’s platform agnostic, and can be implemented from day one with ease.
In this talk, Ben describes how OAuth and OpenID Connect work, and gives a live demo to show how easy it is.
Simple and secure auth out of the box that grows with you? That’s a no-brainer.
About the presenter:
Ben Dechrai is a technologist, presenter, community builder, and hard and-core privacy advocate. When he's not on stage or sharing his ideas and views on security, identity, and privacy, he loves to hear about other people's passions and interests, technology-related and otherwise. It's because of this that he has been known to run a number of community events, from conferences and meetups, to end-of-year parties and comedy shows.
In what spare time remains, he spends time with his family in Melbourne, Australia, and finds too many excuses to get out the power tools or dig trenches for the next fully-automated life hack that will hopefully one day save him time.
