Authentification with Login and Password

[Rayane]

Hi All, 

How would you go to create an authentification function with login and password with ExcelDNA ? 

What most simple tools would you use ? 

Thank you.

Authentication to what service?  Obviously the UI could be created with a Windows.Form with couple of textboxes right?

For example, I require credentials to call some web services that my add-in leverages and I just made a simple form to prompt for them if not already present...

Forgot code, but pretty straight forward....'Credentials' is the name of my Windows.Form.

var currentUserName = AddIn.Settings.KatUserName;

var currentPassword = await AddIn.Settings.GetClearPasswordAsync();

using var credentials = new Credentials( GetWindowConfiguration( nameof( Credentials ) ) );

var info = credentials.GetInfo( currentUserName, currentPassword );

if ( info != null )

{

    await UpdateAddInCredentialsAsync( info.UserName, info.Password );

    SaveWindowConfiguration( nameof( Credentials ), info.WindowConfiguration );

}

Hello, 

Thank you for your reply. 

I'm planning to use Auth0 after I've done some research. Combine this with a Ribbon and Login button with Login/Password as you described. Once Login/Password validated, the Addin would be activated and user can access all its functions.

I'm looking for something really basic as I'm only building a POC (Proof Of Concept).

Any suggestions welcome.

Best regards, 

Rayane

I have a hard time implementing Auth0.... Anyone did it successfully ?

Hi Terry, 

What do you use for authentification ? 

The UpdateAddInCredentialAsync must surely trigger connection to a remote server to check the credentials ?

Thank you.

Best regards,
