Ruby on Rails – Authentication
About This Program
In this course, students get a chance to try Ruby on Rails with an example – a functional authentication workflow using Okta as a provider. After building the full app, they learn how to deploy it into the cloud.
The OAuth authentication protocol is widely used in the software development industry. While OAuth relies on authentication and authorization, it does neither. It tries to provide rights over assets to a confirmed identity.
This webinar detangles all of these terms and concepts while demonstrating how to create and deploy a Ruby on Rails app.
About the training model:
The on-demand webinar uses slides to support theory and live code to illustrate the different topics. The webinar includes Q&A section at the end of the session. At the end of the webinar, students will be able to:
- Provide a comprehensive lecture on OAuth delegation protocol
- Demonstrate an authentication flow with Okta
- Provide a sample Ruby on Rails app to demonstrate Okta auth workflow
- Deploy the resulting artifacts into the Cloud, by an automated process
Who should take this course?
Prior to starting the course, students should have:
- Basic idea of OAuth
- May have been involved in a project using OAuth
