XAF - Customize Logon Parameters

This example demonstrates how to customize standard authentication behavior and supply additional logon parameters in XAF applications. The default login form displays User Name and Password editors. This sample customizes the login form to show Company and Application User lookup editors instead of User Name.

Implementation Details

ASP.NET Core Blazor

1. Define a Company class that contains company names. This class should contain a list of ApplicationUser objects as a part of a one-to-many relationship. Add the second part of this relationship to the ApplicationUser class generated by the Solution Wizard. Finally, add the Company class to your application’s DbContext.
2. Create a custom logon parameter class that uses the Company class. To see an example, refer to the following file - [CustomLogonParameters.cs].
3. Implement [custom authentication] that uses custom logon parameters.
4. Implement a custom [authentication provider] that creates an instance of the custom authentication strategy.
5. Pass custom classes to the Security System. To see an example, refer to the following file - Startup.cs.
6. Add demo data.
7. Generate a demo database.
8. Run the application.
