Add new or customize existing OpenID Connect authentication provider

By default Sitefinity CMS comes with preinstalled OpenID Connect (OIDC) external authentication provider. You can create or customize additional ones following this sample.

1. Implement the new provider.
   

   	using System;
   	using System.Collections.Generic;
   	using Microsoft.Owin;
   	using Microsoft.Owin.Security.OpenIdConnect;
   	using Owin;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Authentication;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Authentication.Configuration.SecurityTokenService.ExternalProviders;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Authentication.Owin.OpenId;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Utilities.TypeConverters;
   	namespace AutehnticationSamples
   	{
   	public class OIDCAuthenticationProvidersInitializerExtender : AuthenticationProvidersInitializer
   	{
   	public override Dictionary<string, Action<IAppBuilder, string, AuthenticationProviderElement>> GetAdditionalIdentityProviders()
   	{
   	var providers = base.GetAdditionalIdentityProviders();
   	// 'MyOIDC' is the name of the external authentication provider as configured in the Advanced settings
   	providers.Add("MyOIDC", (IAppBuilder app, string signInAsType, AuthenticationProviderElement config) =>
   	{
   	var openIDConfig = config as OpenIDConnectAuthenticationProviderElement;
   	if (openIDConfig != null)
   	{
   	var notificationsType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType(openIDConfig.NotificationsType);
   	var options = new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions()
   	{
   	ClientId = openIDConfig.ClientId,
   	AuthenticationType = openIDConfig.Name,
   	Caption = openIDConfig.Title,
   	Authority = openIDConfig.Authority,
   	MetadataAddress = openIDConfig.MetadataAddress,
   	SignInAsAuthenticationType = signInAsType,
   	CallbackPath = new PathString(openIDConfig.CallbackPath),
   	RedirectUri = openIDConfig.RedirectUri,
   	PostLogoutRedirectUri = openIDConfig.PostLogoutRedirectUri,
   	ResponseType = openIDConfig.ResponseType,
   	Scope = openIDConfig.Scope,
   	ProtocolValidator = new SitefinityOpenIdConnectProtocolValidator(config),
   	Notifications = (OpenIdConnectAuthenticationNotifications)Activator.CreateInstance(notificationsType, openIDConfig),
   	AuthenticationMode = Microsoft.Owin.Security.AuthenticationMode.Passive,
   	UsePkce = openIDConfig.UsePKCE,
   	ClientSecret = openIDConfig.ClientSecret,
   	RedeemCode = true,
   	UseTokenLifetime = false,
   	};
   	app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(options);
   	}
   	});
   	return providers;
   	}
   	}
   	}

2. Register the implementation in Sitefinity CMS.
   

   	using System;
   	using AutehnticationSamples;
   	using Telerik.Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions;
   	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Authentication;
   	namespace SitefinityWebApp
   	{
   	public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
   	{
   	protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
   	{
   	AuthenticationModule.Initialized += this.AuthenticationModule_Initialized;
   	}
   	private void AuthenticationModule_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e)
   	{
   	ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType<AuthenticationProvidersInitializer, OIDCAuthenticationProvidersInitializerExtender>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
   	}
   	}
   	}

3. Navigate to Administration » Settings » Advanced » Authentication » SecurityTokenService » AuthetnicationProviders.
4. Click Create New.
5. Select OpenIDConnectAuthenticationProviderElement.
6. Configure a Name and a Title for the provider.
   Make sure the Name in the configuration settings matches exactly the name you used when you registered it in the code. In this sample this is MyOIDC.
7. If the provider is not enabled, enable it.
8. Click Save changes.

If you want to extend the default implementation you can do so by implementing a new class and configuring it in the NotificationsType field in the configuration.

1. Create your handler
2. Navigate to Administration » Settings » Advanced » Authentication » SecurityTokenService » AuthetnicationProvider » OpenIDConnect.
3. Configure the name of your handler in the NotifcationsType field. In this example we fill out AuthenticationSamples. MyCustomOIDCHandler.
4. Save changes.
