Course Details

What Will Developers Learn?

This course continues where our popular course ‘Securing ASP.NET using OpenID Connect and IdentityServer’ leaves off. When we say that this course is about deploying to production, we really mean it!

In this course, we will deploy the services we create to the public internet, using real TLS certificates and automatic build/deployment. The solution you will deploy contains a client, an API, and a fully configured IdentityServer. We are especially proud that we don’t cheat or cut corners in this all-encompassing course.

Instead, we will teach you everything you need to know and how to avoid pitfalls, so you can:

Store configuration data in a separate configuration service
Create logs in a separate logging server for analytics and visualization
Use real HTTPS certificates
Create our own token signing keys
Use continuous deployment to deploy our services

This very hands-on course contains extensive exercises that will take you through all the steps involved in creating a successful identity solution.

Who is the Target Audience?

Developers who want to learn step-by-step how to securely deploy an IdentityServer solution to the internet. If you are using any of the previous versions of IdentityServer, this course is still very relevant, as many of the core concepts are the same.

What Are the Course Prerequisites?

A basic understanding of OAuth, OpenID Connect, IdentityServer, and ASP.NET Core, like what is covered in the Securing ASP.NET using OpenID Connect and IdentityServer course
Good C# skills
Very basic Git version control skills

How Long is the Course?

The course is usually 3 days in total. However, this course can either be delivered over 3 full days or 6 half days.

What Will I Need for the Course?

Some practical things that can be good to know ahead of time:

We recommend that you have a suitable laptop that can run multiple instances of Visual Studio and at least one big monitor for the optimal experience
You need to have Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4 or higher installed
In this course, we use ASP.NET Core 7 and IdentityServer 6
All course materials are written in English
The course can be taught in either Swedish or English
Though this course deals with the cloud and containers, it is not the focus of this course, and no cloud/container experience is needed
