.net core site active directory

lawrence whittemore asked on September 29, 2021 21:31

I have active directory working on the CMS portion of the site, but wasn't sure what is needed to get it working on the front end. Can someone point me to the documentation to get this set up, struggling to find the info myself.

Hi Lawrence,

What kind of Active Directory are you referring to? Is it private AD FS, Azure AD, or Azure AD B2C? These are different platforms with slightly different integration options.

I don't know. It's not azure based or anything. To get it to work on the admin, all we had to do was switch the site to use windows authentication and not forms.

Typically, this is ADFS then. Maybe try one of the tutorials how to integrate ADFS with ASP.NET Core MVC (like this one for example).

Hi Dmitry,

Do you mean we need to write the logic in the .net core site to implement ADFS? It seems lots of effort. Xperience only supports the ADFS configuration on Admin site, right?

Hi Liya,

Yes, Xperience supports ADFS only for Admin site by default. And you are correct, some coding on .net core app will be required if you'd want to allow login with ADFS for your website visitors.
