Summary

In this chapter, we saw how to get the best out of Blazor WebAssembly when it comes to authentication, from making the API call and getting the token to setting up the authentication infrastructure, such as the authentication state provider and the authentication components. After that, we covered as many scenarios as possible that you may face in your real-world applications, such as role-based authorization and custom policies, and how to integrate them with built-in authentication components to secure and control the UI and the logic of the app based on the user identity.

We ended the chapter with a brief introduction to the Microsoft Identity Platform with Azure AD and Azure AD B2C, in addition to MSAL and what it provides out of the box when it comes to Blazor WebAssembly.

After completing this chapter, you should be able to do the following:

• Understand the client-side authentication flow for single-page applications
• Build a powerful authentication mechanism...
