gRPC ActiveDirectory Mock

This is a conceptual repo that may or may not pan out. It is certainly a work in progress, so take all of this as experimental.

See gRPC on .NET to understand how gRPC works in .NET.

Overview

Back to Top

Working out how to setup a standalone ASP.NET Core server that internally handles ActiveDirectory pass-through Authentication and exposes an abstract interface via gRPC API.

The ultimate goal is to provide pass-through ActiveDirectory authentication in Identity.Server through the Identity.Core library.

Identity.Client can then interface with the gRPC API and be injected as a service into an ASP.NET Core app.

Middleware could then be developed to insert the identity information into the HttpContext and additional middleware could synchronize identity with the app database.

A Controller could then inject IdentityClient to interact with the avaiable ActiveDirectory functions exposed through the gRPC API.

Instructions

Before running any of the examples, ensure the Identity.Server project is running.

To test all of the features of the gRPC API, run the App.Cli project.

To test the ASP.NET Core middleware interface with the gRPC API, run the App.Api project and navigate to https://localhost:7000/swagger
