Overview

The quickstarts provide step by step instructions for various common IdentityServer scenarios. They start with the absolute basics and become more complex - it is recommended you do them in order.

  • adding IdentityServer to an ASP.NET Core application
  • configuring IdentityServer
  • issuing tokens for various clients
  • securing web applications and APIs
  • adding support for EntityFramework based configuration
  • adding support for ASP.NET Identity

Every quickstart has a reference solution - you can find the code in the samples folder.

Preparation

The first thing you should do is install our templates:

dotnet new -i IdentityServer4.Templates

They will be used as a starting point for the various tutorials.

Note

If you are using private NuGet sources do not forget to add the –nuget-source parameter: –nuget-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

OK - let’s get started!

Note

The quickstarts target the IdentityServer 4.x and ASP.NET Core 3.1.x - there are also quickstarts for ASP.NET Core 2 and ASP.NET Core 1.
