User Interaction

These samples illustrate customization of the interactive pages used in your IdentityServer.

SPA-style login page

This sample shows an example of building the interactive pages (login, consent, logout, and error) as client-rendered (typical of SPAs), rather than server-rendered. Since there are many different SPA frameworks, the actual pages are coded using vanilla JavaScript.

Key takeaways:

  • how to handle the necessary request parameters
  • how to contact the backend of IdentityServer to implement the various workflows (login, logout, etc.)
  • how to implement a backend to support the frontend pages

  • how to define a custom identity provider model
  • how to map from the custom identity provider model to the protocol options
  • how to register the custom protocol type with IdentityServer
  • how to register the custom protocol type with IdentityServer
  • how to use the existing provider store to persist custom provider model data
