Setting up ASP.NET Core Web App

Now you need to create the Web App (blue box) and wire it up with Auth0 (orange box).

Step 1: Create ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web Application

In Visual Studio 2017, create a new project ASP.NET Core Web Application using the template Web Application (Model-View-Controller).

For more information see ASP.NET Core Init

Step 2: Add Auth0 credentials into Web App settings

Configure the created Web App with Auth0 Application credentials such as Domain, Client ID and Client Secret.

• Domain: olegburov.auth0.com
• Client ID: vRmDy1JB5sN1j6OqyKP5obij6C4s6BcW
• Client Secret: uhPo80PC1GB3ZJsIzbO61-DDmUjb3W6BNtOZpBeSUmsthosE_9zdrz2GY73OCdTg

Step 3: Add Authentication middleware

ASP.NET Core Team has done a terrific job. To wire up Auth0 with Web App is so easy. What you need to do is just configure Authentication middleware as a service using the OpenID Connect protocol, and then enable it. That's it!

For more information see ASP.NET Core Middleware

Step 4: Add Login feature

Add actions for a user to sing in and sign out using Auth0 through OpenID Connect provider, which has been already configured in the previous step.

For more information see ASP.NET Core Login

Step 5: Add Profile feature

Show a user's information based on the data received from Auth0.

For more information see ASP.NET Core Profile

Step 6: Add authentication and custom roles

To add authentication based on custom roles are already built-in. What you need to do just tell OpenID Connect middleware where to get roles from the data returned from Auth0.
