Login using Custom Made API

Question

Hi All,

I am quite new to API. My requirement is , our vendor is having an application, i want to create an API that allows to login users using their AD account username and password. But how can i create an API that acts as middle ware in asp.net core. Basically we will get username and password from client application , and using my api we need to validate it.

How can i create Rest Webservices with ASP.Net?

Thanks & Regards,

Teena

you question is not clear.

to validate an ad account user/password you use the directory services api.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.directoryservices?view=dotnet-plat-ext-7.0

to create a webapi, just create a webapi project.

dotnet new webapi

but I suspect you want to know how to use your authentication with the vendor app. this will depend on their design. many will support oauth, in which case you can use azure ad oauth support, or create your own oauth server.
