I signed up "successfully" for the cheat-sheet but I didn't get access. What could be the problem?

[@NateNo]

This is by far one of the best KZbin tutorial series I've ever seen (on any topic). Absolutely love the way each tutorial is modular and separated into logical blocks. Makes it incredibly easy for me to reference this playlist for specific topics when I need to. I hope you keep up the awesome work, man! I'm very thankful these videos are made in an easy to digest manor, considering the official documentation provided by Microsoft is lacking/vague in certain areas.

[@903koolaid91]

Thanks a ton you made this super simple!!

*qlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.* I did the exact steps told, and that was the output I got from literally every tutorial I came across (including this one).

[@justblazorprogramming]

I guess its all the tutorials that are the problem

[@spontaneousorder5670]

I have to get back to a Blazor App I'm working on. I have to get AA up and running. I've used the old aspnet Membership databases. I really want to get into policies and roles. I'll have over half a dozen user types, so I'll need a good way to manage access.

[@timurryssuly305]

My appSettings.json "DefaultConnection" is much shorter: ""DefaultConnection": "DataSource=app.db;Cache=Shared"" Why is this? and how do I solve this?

My browser application is not working in all browsers, showing error faild to find valid digest in the integrity

[@kennedymungai1]

Thanks I really needed this tutorial

[@justblazorprogramming]

Glad I could help

[@TheClevelandBuckeye]

Do you have a video for policies and claims in Blazor?

[@justblazorprogramming]

I thought i did, it was one of the other auth videos im sorry its been a while so i dont remember but the claims are the exact same as how you would do with just a normal asp.net core app

Sweet! Subscribed! 🎉

Thanks for the sub!

How do I do a password reset? The user needs to activate this. Thank you

[@justblazorprogramming]

You basically have to grab the user object and then then reapply the password, it will overwrite the old one because its going to be encrypted again. Thats the gist of it

Great.How To Publish this webApp (Blazor with Individual ) to iis? I can't publish to iis and get error Http500

[@justblazorprogramming]

This error could be many things, but the first thing id try is to reinstall then repair your visual studio then try again. You should then get a prompt to allow the IIS certificate once you try to run it ( as admin btw). Click yes then you should be able to if its this specific error. Again its my shot in the dark but good luck.

[@dhirenpathak]

Nice tutorial can you please video on wsam authentication

[@justblazorprogramming]

Im getting there, there is something i need to finish first before that point. Then i can move on without missing something important (in theory).

[@brunosallesdev]

nice content!

[@ComfortablyNum6]

Hi, sorry I'm lost. Been out of (mediocre) coding for about eight years. This is all new to me. I got the implementation all working. However, I want to develop a site where users log in from the homepage (users added by an admin). What I don't get is where are the forms for login etc? Plenty of pages with links, but no pages with the actual forms. I looked everywhere for them. Surely they don't render by magic! A point in the right direction would be very appreciated.

[@justblazorprogramming]

There is a folder marked "Areas" in there is where you find those specific forms.

[@SpaldingJason]

I'd like to build with dotnet 7 a blazor with jwt. Is there any benefit to waiting?

[@justblazorprogramming]

Not really, .NET 7 seems like a lot of optimization along with some new features but you should be fine with using .NET 6. Most of what you probably will be using to do that will stay the same if not then i dont think there will be heavy changes. Granted i have not looked into .NET 7 thoroughly, but from what i could tell it isnt a big jump compared to .net 5 - 6

[@mirzaislam6010]

thank you good tutorial

[@DonaldMurf]

Around 1:50 you said “it creates one for you basically”. I’m stuck here. I don’t know how to use Microsoft SQL or how to create a server. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

[@justblazorprogramming]

You need to download the software first. Then it will create everything you need and should create that server link you were looking at. Theres a link in the description.

[@DonaldMurf]

@@justblazorprogramming I downloaded Microsoft SQL Management Studio 18.12.1 When I open the program>File>Connect Object Explorer, I get a window like the one in 1:46. In the server name box there is nothing for me to copy paste.

[@justblazorprogramming]

@@DonaldMurf honestly its been a while since i loaded sql, so off the top of my head im not so sure. However i believe theres other resources to help you here, it could be you are missing the actual sql server package. idk

[@DonaldMurf]

@@justblazorprogramming thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

[@DonaldMurf]

@@justblazorprogramming I figured it out. I needed to download SQL Server 2019 Express. I only downloaded Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Also the server name can be DEVICENAME\sqlexpress like DESKTOP-0123D\sqlexpress

[@mohanv7629]

Can we use Mysql

[@justblazorprogramming]

You should be able to it just takes a bit more work.

[@IvanRandomDude]

I mean, Default UI is ok but is definitely not something I would use in production. If you ignore everything else, just the fact UI/UX looks like it was made in 2005 is enough not to use it in production. I wonder if there are some more modern implementations of Identity available? I would at minimum scaffold all the Identity pages and add better design. At least that.

[@justblazorprogramming]

You dont have to, even in the video i say that this isnt the best way to do this. I do think its not completely awful because it gives you a base point and you can choose not to use the templates or whatnot. You can implement your own way of handling this while leveraging the library and use only the parts you want. However if you choose to move away from asp.net core then you are in different territory. The point of the video is more or less to give you the most easy way of implementing a working authentication scheme and authorization model.

[@WildFactsUnleashed1]

Headers are readonly, response has already started

[@justblazorprogramming]

This is for both your comments, idk what happening, maybe your build was corrupted cause I literally did what you saw in the video in two different projects.

thx

Adding claims to the Authorized section is nearly as effortless. Pass the authorized principle down through all components by wrapping the

[@justblazorprogramming]

ngl. between us, I needed to finish the video so i didnt get into any of the providers/roles/claims stuff. I also try to limit a video like this to around 20 minutes for youtube algorithm stuff. So In the back of my mind i believed there is a way but i didnt get a chance to dig into it. Ill say as much in the next video when i talk about Roles/Providers/Claims specifically cause I am a fan of the individual account way to teach people how to Authenticate/Authorize as this teaches you most of what you need to understand how to do it with any form, and then dive into the different authentication methods like OAUTH, maybe even 2fA for more utility. Ill see how those videos do and make my decision but definitely going into the authorization piece more. But good job on diving into this on your end, i know you asked about this a few times before.

[@fadidib8516]

@@justblazorprogramming thx for diving more about this stuff , canmot find any project that shows it properly.

[@justblazorprogramming]

You know if you go to the AwesomeBlazor repo, github.com/AdrienTorris/awesome-blazor , theres plenty of resources including this one, its based off a tutorial there, but i added some extra steps in order to essentially show what i went through to make it work. So if you every need something specific just go to that repo

[@justblazorprogramming]

Actually they do, its just the implementation i used did not have it. Ill explain it more in depth in another video. But you can add claims and such i just went with the route of not using them for simplicity.

[@justblazorprogramming]

part 2: Individual accounts absolutely have claims, roles, policies. I just didnt put them in the video. I will make another one with a focus on them.
