multi-layered web application user registration options

Question

Newbie here.

I've seen quite a few examples where IdentityServer is used for user authentication and authorization, but that assumes I've a way to register users.

I'm planning an Angular front-end and an ASP.net Core C# application using Clean Architecture principles. I want to register the users and then have IdentityServer4 manage the authentication and authorization for my application.

What technical options do I've to register my users?

Thanks in advance.

Well, IdentityServer plugs into the asp NET Core Identity, and supports local user accounts but also social accounts, all you need is a database for Core Identity to store the user data and you're good to go.

And here's a tip if you have questions like this again, remember this first: Microsoft does an awesome job documenting anything .NET Core related, there is so much good hands-on information out there, that should be your first go-to. The documentation on identity & identity server you can find here.
