Register Auth Providers at Runtime

[TheBrambleShark]

Hi all,

Currently in Blazor, authentication providers are registered with the web application builder and then consumed when the host is running.

Is there a mechanism which would allow these providers to be added at runtime, such as through a view in an admin control panel?

I'd like to empower my admins with configuring OAuth/SAML authentication from within the app and have it work without requiring a restart.

Hello @TheBrambleShark,
in Blazor, authentication providers must be registered at startup. There’s no built-in way to add OAuth/SAML providers dynamically at runtime without restarting the app. To achieve runtime configurability, you can implement a custom authentication handler that reads provider settings from a database on each request, or delegate auth to an external identity provider that supports dynamic configuration.

This was my expectation. Thanks for confirming!
