BlazorPlate's development team has completely redesigned ASP.NET Identity to offer an unparalleled user authentication experience. The revamped version utilizes Blazor-based components instead of traditional razor pages, simplifying the authentication process for businesses.

BlazorPlate's ASP.NET Identity includes crucial features such as Two-Factor Authentication, sign-in, sign-up, password reset, and account activation via email confirmation. These features ensure reliable and secure user authentication. With BlazorPlate's customized ASP.NET Identity, businesses can quickly create a secure and reliable user authentication system, allowing them to focus on developing their core business functionalities.

BlazorPlate introduces robust Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), an identity and access management security method that requires two forms of identification to access resources and data. With 2FA enabled, users are required to verify their identity using two distinct authentication methods:

• Something You Know: This factor typically involves a combination of a username and password, which the user knows and uses to authenticate themselves.
• Something You Have: This factor involves a physical item or token that the user possesses, such as a smartphone with an authenticator app. The authenticator app generates a one-time passcode, which the user must enter during the authentication process.

By requiring both a username/password combination and a one-time passcode from an authenticator app, BlazorPlate significantly enhances protection against unauthorized access, strengthening overall account security and safeguarding sensitive resources and data.

BlazorPlate now offers API-Level 2FA Enforcement, a feature inspired by real-world security practices, notably seen in banking applications. For example, when a user attempts to access sensitive banking APIs to check their account balance or initiate a transaction, API-Level 2FA Enforcement in BlazorPlate redirects the user to a 2FA page, where they are prompted to authenticate via 2FA before proceeding. This mirrors the stringent security measures implemented by banks, where users must provide additional authentication, such as a one-time passcode generated by the authenticator app on their mobile device, for accessing critical financial information or conducting transactions online. BlazorPlate's API-Level 2FA Enforcement extends this level of security to any designated API Controller or Action, ensuring that only authorized users with valid credentials and secondary authentication can access sensitive functionalities. This feature significantly enhances the application's security posture and protects users' financial data from unauthorized access and potential fraud.

Experience the power of BlazorPlate with the capability to integrate with an extensive range of up to 99 external OAuth authentication providers. From well-known platforms such as Outlook, Gmail, Twitter, and LinkedIn to a multitude of others, effortlessly empower your users with Single Sign-On (SSO). This feature enables users to seamlessly sign in to your platform using their personal or work emails, ensuring a smooth and efficient authentication process.

BlazorPlate offers a simple and streamlined way to manage user authentication and authorization, making it the ultimate solution for developers. With BlazorPlate's built-in user management system, developers can easily manage users and roles, grant access to resources, and implement robust security measures. Developers can use BlazorPlate's permission-based authorization to control user access to application resources, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.

BlazorPlate also allows for the customization of various user settings, including sign-in, password policy, and lockout settings, to meet specific security requirements. This feature is essential for startups that require a secure and reliable user authentication system.

Authorization is crucial for securing client requests for data access in Web APIs. However, the built-in authorization filter in .NET Web API projects can be challenging to manage, as it requires hardcoding which users or roles can access newly added APIs or actions.

BlazorPlate's innovative API Dynamic Authorization addresses this challenge by automatically scanning the system APIs and their actions for potential permissions during application startup. It saves the permissions in the database's permission table, and any new API or action changes are synced by restarting the application.

This approach provides dynamic authorization, allowing system administrators to grant or revoke permission from users or roles directly through the administration GUI panel. This eliminates the need for hardcoding authorization in the built-in AuthorizeAttribute filter, providing a more efficient and streamlined approach.

BlazorPlate provides an innovative solution for building applications for multiple clients or organizations with its powerful multitenancy feature. This feature provides support for both single-tenant and multi-tenant modes, giving developers more flexibility and options to choose from based on their needs.

Data Isolation Strategies

BlazorPlate provides robust support for tenant data isolation, ensuring that each tenant can only access and manipulate their own data. BlazorPlate offers two primary strategies for data isolation:

• Shared database for all tenants.
• Separate database for each tenant.

Shared Database for All Tenants

The Shared Database for All Tenants strategy ensures that tenants can easily access and manipulate their data, while still enjoying the benefits of cost savings and simplified maintenance. BlazorPlate implements a layer of abstraction that maps each tenant to their data, ensuring that each tenant has complete control over their own data.

Separate Database for Each Tenant

Alternatively, developers can opt for the Separate Database for Each Tenant strategy, which offers unparalleled data isolation and control. With this approach, each tenant has their own separate database, which means they have complete control over their data, eliminating any chance of interference from other tenants. Though it requires higher costs and more maintenance, this approach guarantees complete data privacy and control for each tenant.

Tenant Models

BlazorPlate provides two tenant models:

• Single-Tenant Model.
• Multi-Tenant Model.

Single-Tenant Model

In single-tenant model, each tenant has their own copy of the software and a dedicated database exclusively owned by that tenant. This requires deploying a separate instance of the application for each tenant, providing complete control over their application. While this approach may incur higher costs and increased maintenance, it ensures superior data isolation and control.

Multi-Tenant Model

In multi-tenant model, multiple tenants can share the same instance of the software application with a shared database for all tenants or separate databases for each tenant. This approach offers cost savings and simplified maintenance.

Hybrid Model

BlazorPlate's hybrid multi-tenancy model offers tenants the flexibility to choose between a shared database for all tenants or a separate database for each tenant. This hybrid approach ensures efficient data isolation and control while providing options tailored to the unique needs of each tenant. This can be achieved by deploying two instances of the Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP) with different Data Isolation Strategies. Furthermore, the Tenant Onboarding Portal (TOP) can be customized to allow tenants to select their preferred strategy during registration. This customization automatically directs them to the appropriate TDP instance, ensuring a seamless setup process. With BlazorPlate's hybrid model, tenants can customize their environment to suit their requirements while benefiting from the efficiency and resource sharing advantages of multi-tenancy.

Tenant Onboarding

BlazorPlate serves as a crucial entry point for your SaaS customers through its Tenant Onboarding portal, ensuring a smooth transition for them to quickly reach their dedicated portals. This is made possible by a customized subdomain URL matching the tenant's business name, leading them directly to their Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP). Tenants can effortlessly access their portals via a unique subdomain URL, like my-business-name.saas.com.

Tenants Administration

The Tenant Administration Portal (TAP) serves as a centralized platform managed by Host Admins, who represent the company behind the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. It efficiently handles tenant management, including the creation of tenant accounts on behalf of customers, providing Host Admins with foundational functionalities for modifying, deleting, and managing these accounts. These functionalities streamline tenant management processes, ensuring smooth operations within the SaaS ecosystem.
