Introducing Arduino Wiring on Windows 10 IoT Core Developers targeting Windows 10 IoT Core can use a programming language of their choice. Today, this includes C#, C++, Visual Basic, JavaScript, Python and Node.js, but we’re not stopping there. Arduino Wiring is the latest addition to IoT Core. Arduino is one of the most popular platforms among makers. Its community has produced a large number of libraries to interface with peripherals such as LED displays, sensors, RFID readers and breakout boards. One of the main drivers for Arduino’s adoption is its simplicity. With Windows 10 IoT Core, you can now create or port Arduino Wiring sketches that will run on supported IoT Core devices, including Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and Minnowboard Max. Creating your first Arduino Wiring sketch for IoT Core You can find the detailed steps for creating Arduino wiring [ more… ]

Authenticating Users to Existing Applications with OpenID Connect and NGINX Plus

Authenticating Users to Existing Applications with OpenID Connect and NGINX Plus Using JWT support to provide SSO for existing applications OAuth 2.0 has done much to transform the flexibility and user experience of authenticating to websites and applications. But despite the name, the OAuth 2.0 specification says very little about verifying end‑user identity and nothing about single sign‑on (SSO). That’s where OpenID Connect comes in – it is essentially the missing piece that carries identity information in OAuth 2.0 access tokens. OpenID Connect identity tokens comply with the JSON Web Token (JWT) specification. JWT (pronounced “jot”) tokens are compact, easy to pass around, and provide a common core schema for describing identity information. The great thing about JWTs is that they can be applied to almost any identity use case, from authenticating API clients to providing SSO for enterprise applications. In fact, many organizations that use Google Apps can [ more… ]
