Authentication and Authorization

This document describes options and proposals for #4048.

Overall goals

Principles:

  • In Razor Components, enable customers to use as much of ASP.NET Core's existing authentication/authorization/identity feature set as possible. Minimize the invention of new stuff; maximize orthogonality.
  • Provide a programming model that can be consistent across Razor Components (server-side) and Blazor (client-side), so components that use authorization can still be portable across the two, even if app-level Startup.cs logic is completely different for the two runtime environments.

The Razor Components auth feature set will be mostly the same as for MVC/Pages. We'll get the same long-tail features such as integration with 3rd-party social logins, 2FA, etc. The Razor Components template will support the same four auth options during project creation, and the "Scaffold Identity" feature will be usable on existing Razor Components projects.
