IdentityService is designed to provide robust authentication and authorization functionalities for applications. It handles user credentials and identity details, ensuring secure access control and identity management. This service integrates seamlessly with various components of an application to provide a unified security framework.

Follow these instructions to set up the Identity Service on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

The service is built on .NET 6 and uses the following key libraries:

IdentityServer4: for implementing OAuth 2.0 protocol. Entity Framework Core: for handling database operations related to identity data.

For non-Windows operating systems (Linux/MacOS), install .NET 6:

Install .NET on macOS/Linux (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/macos) Then, proceed with the following steps:

*# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/VitalikMatvieiev/Edu-platform-Identity.git

*# Change directory cd IdentityService

*# Restore dependencies dotnet restore

*# Build the project dotnet build

*# Run the project dotnet run

The service configuration is stored in appsettings.json. This file includes settings for:

• Database connection strings.
• IdentityServer configurations.
• API resources and clients.

• User Authentication: Secure login mechanism for users.
• User Authorization: Manage access control based on user roles and claims.
• OAuth 2.0 and custom JWT middleware: Support for modern authentication and authorization protocols.
• User Management: CRUD operations for managing user credentials and details.

Emphasize the security practices and protocols implemented in the service, like encryption of sensitive data, secure token handling, and regular security updates.
