Still stuck on this.

Would this be a good example of implementing OpenId Connect to Umbraco? Specifically, the "Adding OpenID Connect to your application" section

https://andrewlock.net/an-introduction-to-openid-connect-in-asp-net-core/

Did you get anywhere on this? I'm trying to do exactly the same in the nicest way possible.

Currently using IdentityServer v3 and would prefer to connect without doing the redirect. Want to hijack the auth during login to the backoffice.

Let me know how you are doing... I'll do the same as I progress.

Thank you Alan, I really appreciate that. Yes I'm still looking into this as this is my project for the year. Please feel free to "Follow" this post as I will be returning to detail out on things I discover.

I'm using Identity Server v3, but a few tweaks around version changes, for v4, on the following provided a working example for me

this was from information in Umbraco's security section

https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Security/

It isn't the way I want to do it so still progressing. I want to hijack the Umbraco login which should be easy based on the documentation once I get my head round the setup.

Since Umbraco 9.3 there is support for external login providers with OpenID Connect: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/security/external-login-providers/

I've released a package which demos how Umbraco can be used with OpenID Connect: https://www.jeroenbreuer.nl/blog/released-umbraco-openid-connect-example-package/
