A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Vittorio Bertocci is principal program manager on the Azure Active Directory team, where he works on the developer experience: Active Directory Authentication  Library (ADAL), OpenID Connect and OAuth2 OWIN components in ASP.NET, Azure AD  integration in various Visual Studio work streams, and other things he can’t tell you about (yet). Vittorio joined the product team after years as a virtual member in his role as principal architect evangelist, during which time he contributed to the inception and launch of Microsoft’s claims-based platform components (Windows Identity Foundation, ADFS 2.0) and owned SaaS and identity evangelism for the .NET developers community.
 
Vittorio holds a Master's degree in computer science and began his career doing research on computational geometry and scientific visualization. In 2001 he joined Microsoft Italy, where he focused on the .NET platform and the nascent field of web services security, becoming a recognized expert at the national and European level.

Vittorio is easy to spot at conferences. He has spoken about identity in 23 countries on four continents, from keynote addresses to one-on-one meetings with customers. Vittorio is a regular speaker at Ignite, Build, Microsoft PDC, TechEd (US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan), TechDays, Gartner Summit, European Identity Conference, IDWorld, OreDev, NDC, IASA, Basta, and many others. At the moment his Channel 9 speaker page at https://channel9.msdn.com/events/speakers/vittorio-bertocci lists 44 recordings.
 
Vittorio is a published author, both in the academic and industry worlds, and has written many articles and papers. He is the author of Programming Windows Identity Foundation (Microsoft Press, 2010) and coauthor of "A Guide to Claims-Based Identity and Access Control" (Microsoft patterns & practices, 2010) and Understanding Windows Cardspace (Addison-Wesley, 2008). He is a prominent authority and blogger on identity, Azure, .NET development, and related topics: he shares his thoughts at www.cloudidentity.com and via his twitter feed, http://www.twitter.com/vibronet.
 
Vittorio lives in the lush green of Redmond with his wife, Iwona. He doesn’t mind the gray skies too much, but every time he has half a chance, he flies to some place on the beach, be it the South Pacific or Camogli, his home town in Italy.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Active Directory has been thoroughly transformed to reflect the industry's breakneck shift to the cloud, modern authentication/authorization protocols such as OAuth2 and OpenId Connect, and new today's new mobile, SaaS, and single-page application paradigms. Now, there's an authoritative, start-to-finish guide to building Active Directory authentication solutions for these radically new environments.

 

Author Vittorio Bertocci is the Microsoft Program Manager responsible for implementing these new technologies. Bertocci drove them from initial concept to general availability, played a key role in their technical design, and wrote many of their samples and much of their documentation. Nobody is more qualified to write this book.

 

In Modern Authentication with Active Directory, he delivers comprehensive guidance for building complete solutions. Balancing theory with concrete code-level guidance, he paints a complete picture -- placing individual tasks in context, explaining how disparate tasks fit together, helping you choose and design your solution, and demonstrating how to implement it reliably, safely, and efficiently.

 

Step by step, you'll gain deep mastery of Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for Windows Store, Windows Phone, .NET, and JavaScript single-page app development; ASP.NET OWIN security components for Web API and OpenId Connect, and much more. You'll also gain deep insight into today's new authentication protocols, eliminating the need to read and interpret abstruse specifications documents.

 

Drawing on his deep technical expertise, Bertocci shows how to go far beyond the basic SDK samples, smoothly handling advanced scenarios and "edge cases." For each major app type, he:

• Presents a typical high-level scenario
• Offers quick guidance on how to implement it ("instant gratification")
• Steps back to explain the theory behind the solution
• Helps you leverage your new understanding to refine your solution
• Provides advanced hands-on guidance that builds on what you've learned

Modern Authentication with Active Directory brings together all the knowledge you'll need to address any authentication challenge -- in any on-premises, mobile, or cloud environment.
