For our new friends:

Logto is an Auth0 alternative designed for modern apps and SaaS products. It offers both Cloud and Open-source services to help you quickly launch your identity and management (IAM) system. Enjoy authentication, authorization, and multi-tenant management all in one.

We recommend starting with a free development tenant on Logto Cloud. This allows you to explore all the features easily.

In this article, we will go through the steps to quickly build the DingTalk sign-in experience (user authentication) with .NET Core (Blazor WebAssembly) and Logto.

Prerequisites

Create an application in Logto​

Logto is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication and OAuth 2.0 authorization. It supports federated identity management across multiple applications, commonly called Single Sign-On (SSO).

To create your Single page app application, simply follow these steps:

  1. Open the Logto Console. In the "Get started" section, click the "View all" link to open the application frameworks list. Alternatively, you can navigate to Logto Console > Applications, and click the "Create application" button. Get started
  2. In the opening modal, click the "Single page app" section or filter all the available "Single page app" frameworks using the quick filter checkboxes on the left. Click the ".NET Core (Blazor WebAssembly)" framework card to start creating your application. Frameworks
  3. Enter the application name, e.g., "Bookstore," and click "Create application".

🎉 Ta-da! You just created your first application in Logto. You'll see a congrats page which includes a detailed integration guide. Follow the guide to see what the experience will be in your application.

Integrate .NET Core (Blazor WebAssembly) with Logto​

tip:

Installation​

Add the NuGet package to your project:

dotnet add package Blorc.OpenIdConnect

Add script references​

Include Blorc.Core/injector.js the index.html file:

index.html
<head>
  <!-- ... -->
  <script src="_content/Blorc.Core/injector.js"></script>
  <!-- ... -->
</head>

Register services​

Add the following code to the Program.cs file:

Program.cs
using Blorc.OpenIdConnect;
using Blorc.Services;

builder.Services.AddBlorcCore();
builder.Services.AddAuthorizationCore();
builder.Services.AddBlorcOpenIdConnect(
    options =>
    {
        builder.Configuration.Bind("IdentityServer", options);
    });

var webAssemblyHost = builder.Build();

await webAssemblyHost
    .ConfigureDocumentAsync(async documentService =>
    {
        await documentService.InjectBlorcCoreJsAsync();
        await documentService.InjectOpenIdConnectAsync();
    });

await webAssemblyHost.RunAsync();
info:

There's no need to use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication package. The Blorc.OpenIdConnect package will take care of the authentication process.

Configure redirect URIs​

Before we dive into the details, here's a quick overview of the end-user experience. The sign-in process can be simplified as follows:

  1. Your app invokes the sign-in method.
  2. The user is redirected to the Logto sign-in page. For native apps, the system browser is opened.
  3. The user signs in and is redirected back to your app (configured as the redirect URI).

Regarding redirect-based sign-in​

  1. This authentication process follows the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, and Logto enforces strict security measures to protect user sign-in.
  2. If you have multiple apps, you can use the same identity provider (Logto). Once the user signs in to one app, Logto will automatically complete the sign-in process when the user accesses another app.

To learn more about the rationale and benefits of redirect-based sign-in, see Logto sign-in experience explained.

note:

In the following code snippets, we assume your app is running on http://localhost:3000/.

Configure redirect URIs​

Switch to the application details page of Logto Console. Add a redirect URI http://localhost:3000/callback.

Redirect URI in Logto Console

Just like signing in, users should be redirected to Logto for signing out of the shared session. Once finished, it would be great to redirect the user back to your website. For example, add http://localhost:3000/ as the post sign-out redirect URI section.

Then click "Save" to save the changes.

Configure application​

Add the following code to the appsettings.json file:

appsettings.json
{
// ...
IdentityServer: {
  Authority: 'https://<your-logto-endpoint>/oidc',
  ClientId: '<your-logto-app-id>',
  PostLogoutRedirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/',
  RedirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/callback',
  ResponseType: 'code',
  Scope: 'openid profile', // Add more scopes if needed
},
}

Remember to add the RedirectUri and PostLogoutRedirectUri to the list of allowed redirect URIs in the Logto application settings. They are both the URL of your WASM application.

Add AuthorizeView component​

In the Razor pages that require authentication, add the AuthorizeView component. Let's assume it's the Home.razor page:

Pages/Home.razor
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Authorization
@page "/"

<AuthorizeView>
    <Authorized>
        @* Signed in view *@
        <button @onclick="OnLogoutButtonClickAsync">
            Sign out
        </button>
    </Authorized>
    <NotAuthorized>
        @* Unauthenticated view *@
        <button @onclick="OnLoginButtonClickAsync">
            Sign in
        </button>
    </NotAuthorized>
</AuthorizeView>

Set up authentication​

In the Home.razor.cs file (create it if it doesn't exist), add the following code:

Pages/Home.razor.cs
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Blorc.OpenIdConnect;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Authorization;

[Authorize]
public partial class Home : ComponentBase
{
    [Inject]
    public required IUserManager UserManager { get; set; }

    public User<Profile>? User { get; set; }

    [CascadingParameter]
    protected Task<AuthenticationState>? AuthenticationStateTask { get; set; }

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        User = await UserManager.GetUserAsync<User<Profile>>(AuthenticationStateTask!);
    }

    private async Task OnLoginButtonClickAsync(MouseEventArgs obj)
    {
        await UserManager.SignInRedirectAsync();
    }

    private async Task OnLogoutButtonClickAsync(MouseEventArgs obj)
    {
        await UserManager.SignOutRedirectAsync();
    }
}

Once the user is authenticated, the User property will be populated with the user information.

Checkpoint: Test your application​

Now, you can test your application:

  1. Run your application, you will see the sign-in button.
  2. Click the sign-in button, the SDK will init the sign-in process and redirect you to the Logto sign-in page.
  3. After you signed in, you will be redirected back to your application and see the sign-out button.
  4. Click the sign-out button to clear token storage and sign out.

Add DingTalk connector​

To enable quick sign-in and improve user conversion, connect with .NET Core (Blazor WebAssembly) as an identity provider. The Logto social connector helps you establish this connection in minutes by allowing several parameter inputs.

To add a social connector, simply follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Console > Connectors > Social Connectors.
  2. Click "Add social connector" and select "DingTalk".
  3. Follow the README guide and complete required fields and customize settings.

If you are following the in-place Connector guide, you can skip the next section.

Set up DingTalk OAuth app​

Create a web app in the DingTalk Open Platform​

Tips: You can skip some sections if you have already finished.

Register a DingTalk developer account​

If you do not have a DingTalk developer account, please register at the DingTalk Open Platform.

Create an application​

  1. In the DingTalk Open Platform "Application Development" > "Internal Enterprise Application" > "DingTalk Application", click "Create Application"
  2. Fill in the application name and description, and click "Save"
  3. In the left navigation bar, select "Development Configuration" > "Security Settings", find and configure the "Redirect URL" ${your_logto_origin}/callback/${connector_id}. You can find the connector_id on the connector details page after adding the respective connector in the management console
  4. In the left navigation bar, select "Basic Information" > "Credentials and Basic Information" to get the Client ID and Client Secret

Configure permissions​

In "Development Configuration" > "Permission Management", select Contact.User.Read and Contact.User.mobile permissions and authorize them

Release Application​

In the left navigation bar, select "Application Release" > "Version Management and Release", create and release the first version to activate the Client ID and Client Secret

note:

If the application does not release a version, the obtained "Client ID" and "Client Secret" cannot be used, or requests will fail.

Configure your connector​

Fill out the clientId and clientSecret fields with Client ID(formerly AppKey and SuiteKey) and Client Secret(formerly AppKey and SuiteKey) you've got from OAuth app detail pages mentioned in the previous section.

scope currently supports two values: openid and openid corpid. openid allows obtaining the user's userid after authorization, while openid corpid allows obtaining both the user's id and the organization id selected during the login process. The values should be space-delimited. Note: URL encoding is required.

Config types​

NameType
clientIdstring
clientSecretstring
scopestring

Test DingTalk connector​

That's it. The DingTalk connector should be available now. Don't forget to Enable connector in sign-in experience.

Once DingTalk web connector is enabled, you can sign in to your app again to see if it works.

note:

Please ensure strict compliance with the usage specifications and development guidelines of the DingTalk Open Platform during the development process.

Support​

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please visit the DingTalk Developer Documentation or contact DingTalk technical support.

Save your configuration​

Double check you have filled out necessary values in the Logto connector configuration area. Click "Save and Done" (or "Save changes") and the DingTalk connector should be available now.

Enable DingTalk connector in Sign-in Experience​

Once you create a social connector successfully, you can enable it as a "Continue with DingTalk" button in Sign-in Experience.

  1. Navigate to Console > Sign-in experience > Sign-up and sign-in.
  2. (Optional) Choose "Not applicable" for sign-up identifier if you need social login only.
  3. Add configured DingTalk connector to the "Social sign-in" section.
