Annejan Barelds

Annejan has been an avid software developer since 2006. And while his career took him to several non-development roles, he keeps coming back to development: exploring new technologies, building great software with it, and sharing his knowledge with others, is what makes him tick.

Delegated Access with OAuth: Why Developers Should Care

So you’re a developer and want to learn how to build those cool, new, autonomous services? Nice. Then you also want to attend this session and learn you can enable your autonomous services to also make autonomous authorization decisions. Join me in finding out how OAuth On-Behalf-Of works, and why it’s relevant. In this talk, we’ll cover why user delegation using On-Behalf-Of helps you meet auditing requirements, how it helps you achieve lower coupling between services, and how it fits into a larger puzzle that security specialists like to call Zero Trust Architecture. And of course we’ll also demo how to actually implement it using Entra ID and .NET. So whether you’re not sure yet if this is worth your trouble, or are already sold on the idea and want to make it happen, this talk is for you.

19:00 - 20:00
