Purpose and goal
In this project Logwise has had an objective to extend the authentication support in ASP.NET Identity to solve the challenges of B2B applications where end users have multiple federated identities linked to themselves. The extension of ASP.NET Identity is distributed as an open source code library and is easy to use for any organisation or person who wishes to do so.
Expected results and effects
Logwise has developed and published the code for IdentityEmails on Github and the code provides solutions to the problems that formed the basis of the project. IdentityEmails is an add-on to ASP.NET Identity and published under the MIT license so that it can be used freely by individuals and organisations. With this release we hope to help others solve the advanced authentication situations addressed with ease.
Planned approach and implementation
The project´s approach was to start from a number of well defined problems and then implement solutions internally in Logwise for evaluation. After the solutions proved to work they were transferred to the open source code library that is the result of the project. This process has worked well as the solution is verified to work in a complex environment with real users. In addition this process has uncovered other problems and situations which needed to be solved which were not captured in our initial analysis.
