IdentityServerV3 Looks like this will work for this. We also want to use AspNetIdentity for the accounts.\r\n\r\nThe part I'm confused about even after setting up and looking at the sample, is creating users. I would like the user account creation to live on the STS server. We would need an api call to create the users on the STS site. Then get the JWT token to use through the apps. I looked into the IdentityManager, but this looks more of a interface to create users manually. In our scenario the users would need to be created through a registration page on the MVC app or mobile apps but stored on the STS side. \r\n\r\nis this possible with IdentityServer?\r\nI read that the IdentityServer is merely an authentication server. Which is fine, but where do the accounts live?\r\n\r\nThanks"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/IdentityServer/IdentityServer3/issues/comments/82325653","html_url":"https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer3/issues/1073#issuecomment-82325653","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/IdentityServer/IdentityServer3/issues/1073","id":82325653,"user":{"login":"rchatters","id":3921959,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3921959?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters","html_url":"https://github.com/rchatters","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rchatters/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-17T12:46:36Z","updated_at":"2015-03-17T12:46:36Z","body":"Thanks,\r\nI think this is where I'm confusing myself.\r\n\r\nOur Requirements are to have a single sign-on (without google/facebook etc.. until the future.) And the SSO is to house the user accounts for security purposes. \r\n\r\nMy thought was a STS server (IdentityServerV3) to authorize. Going down that path and doing aspnetIdentity I found I was unable to register accounts remotely. So I assumed I would need a web api to handle the api calls and I would only want the api to be called by the MVC apps and ios. Which has me bouning between IdentityServer and OWIN auth server. Questioning do I need IdentityServerV3. \r\n\r\nRight now I have IdentityServerV3 running in a MVC app because I was unsure if it could run in a web api, where I could then build in the registration part. But it sounds like I have IdentityServerV3 setup correctly, I just need another app to handle the creation of accounts."}}
