Combining Thinktecture AuthorizationServer with Windows Integrated Authentication
One of the key features of AS is that you can combine it with arbitrary authentication methods. This basically allows to layer OAuth2 and our application and authorization model over any identity management system. Recently the question came up which … Continue reading

Advanced OAuth2: Assertion Flow (why)
The core OAuth2 spec defines so called flows, which are basically descriptions of the interactions between a client, a user and an authorization server to request access tokens. Another implied fact is, that the resource server and the authorization server … Continue reading
