Omaha .NET User Group April Meeting
Fellow .NET Users!
It was really enjoyable for me to present last month on the authorization journey I've been on for the past year or so. Over the years, I've found that presenting at a user group meeting is a wonderful way to share my interests with like-minded people. I get a lot of great feedback and ideas on different paths I might consider. If you're anything like me, you sometimes get fixated on a specific solution, and it's extremely helpful to get a second opinion from someone who might have a different perspective. If you have an interest, project, or skill you would like to share with the community, I encourage you to share it with the rest of us by presenting at one of our meetings. Please reach out to me if this sounds interesting to you!
The next Omaha .NET User's Group meeting will take place on Thursday, April 24th, starting at 6:00 PM. Food and drinks will be provided by our sponsor 15-20 minute before the meeting begins. Stick around until the end of the meeting when Don't Panic Labs will be giving away 2 $50 Amazon Gift Cards and two copies of "Lean Software Systems Engineering for Developers"!

Topic:
All the Things I Wish My Parents Would Have Taught Me About OAuth by Ryan Downey
Is OAuth (or is it ZeroAuth?) one of the things that you wish your parents would have taught you before sending you into the real world? Is OAuth is a black box of security magic? Do you have an abstract idea of what OAuth is but want a more concrete understanding?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions this talk might be for you.
We’ll cover the basics of OAuth 2.0 protocol and workflow, the OpenId Connect workflow, JWTs and JWT validation, and an example .NET WebApi implementation for validating a JWT and setting up a user in ambient context.
