Hi there,
I have been currently trying to understand how i will create the following, small description below.
So i would like to have a standalone login page, this created in vb.net. This page at the moment will only contain text boxes for username and password.
I will have a SQL database with the users information stored. On authenticating against this i will be directing the user to a dashboard type application containing a list of all the application which we have developed(all in diffrent lauguages) and hosted on diffrent domains.
Once the user has successully authernticate i would like to provide a token of some sort which will allow the user access to all the applications which we allow. So i am guessing this is using oAuth? How do i go about creating the actual token? Do i need to create a seprate API to sit away from the application which does this? I dont want to use anything like google. facebook etc to authenticate. The user will be authenticated against our own database and that will be the one way which we wish to have.
I have never actually done anything like this before so any links to documention to help implement something like this or any examples of code in vb.net or c sharp will be helpful. I have done some reading on the oauth.net website but i am getting confused on how i will implement this without using facebook, twitter etc. If this isnt clear please ask and i will try my best to explain better.
thanks,
T
