This is a demonstration project supporting a blog posting discussing custom authentication in .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid applications.

This project is currently built upon the Preview 14 version of .NET MAUI and all items included in here are subject to change, and could no-longer function in later preview releases or final releases of MAUI/Blazor. Additionally, this is a sample implementation, and might need further rigorous testing implementations to 100% validate security, so please use at your discretion.

The goal of this example is to showcase how you can implement custom authentication within an .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid application in a manner where you can authenticate a user via an alternative means, other than Azure AD or OAuth and work using the built in authentication controls & processes for your MAUI application.

To utilize this sample project you must be running Visual Studio 2022 Preview 2.1 (17.2.0 Preview 2.1), or possibly later, with the .NET MAUI features installed.

I will update this as future releases occur.

For ease of use, the project initially contains 2 commits.

1. Initial source code from project creation using the Visual Studio Templates
2. A secondary commit with all custom authentication bits included. This includes securing of all sample pages, and the addition of a new login screen.
