Custom Module Minimal API with AD Authentication

[Sharafudeen]

Hi,

The purpose of having a custom module is to integrate (consume APIs and expose minimal APIs) with other systems and it has separate windows AD authentication. Does Oqtane can allow to extend or I can use existing OpenID Connect provider and configure windows AD?

Oqtane supports OIDC - it can be configured for each site in an installation.

@sbwalker To consume third party system’s APIs we need to authenticate Windows AD with service account which I needs to configure “AD Path” and service account credentials (instead of Client ID & Secret). How do I configure this?

[sbwalker]

What you are describing does not sound like a standard OIDC configuration. If the third party system does not support OIDC or OAuth2 then you will need to build your own custom integration.

I don’t want to change or extend Oqtane core authentication provider instead can I build custom authentication & authorization in Oqtane’s module level?

[sbwalker]

Yes, it should be possible to add the Windows AD integration to a custom module. You may need to include some custom middleware as well which can be integrated using IServerStartup.

Wow.. amazing..!!

This means Oqtane has a capabilities to extend third party systems integration without affecting Oqtane’s core!

Thanks a lot..!!
