As you know box uses OAuth2 for authentication and authorization. Therefore to implement it in C# we have use DotNet OpenAuth.
The following illustrates login with authentication for box in ASP.Net MVC using C#:
using DotNetOpenAuth.Messaging;
public ActionResult LogOn()
{
var openid = new OpenIdRelyingParty();
IAuthenticationResponse response = openid.GetResponse();
if (response != null)
{
switch (response.Status)
{
case AuthenticationStatus.Authenticated:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(
response.ClaimedIdentifier, false);
break;
case AuthenticationStatus.Canceled:
ModelState.AddModelError("loginIdentifier",
"Login was cancelled at the provider");
break;
case AuthenticationStatus.Failed:
ModelState.AddModelError("loginIdentifier",
"Login failed using the provided OpenID identifier");
break;
}
}
return View();
}
[System.Web.Mvc.AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult LogOn(string loginIdentifier)
{
if (!Identifier.IsValid(loginIdentifier))
{
ModelState.AddModelError("loginIdentifier",
"The specified login identifier is invalid");
return View();
}
else
{
var openid = new OpenIdRelyingParty();
IAuthenticationRequest request = openid.CreateRequest(
Identifier.Parse(loginIdentifier));
request.AddExtension(new ClaimsRequest
{
BirthDate = DemandLevel.NoRequest,
Email = DemandLevel.Require,
FullName = DemandLevel.Require
});
return request.RedirectingResponse.AsActionResult();
}
}
