How deeply does .NET MAUI in Action cover Duende IdentityServer?

Explains the browser-and-token flow and client integration, while deferring identity and authentication theory.

Duende IdentityServer

IdentityServer is an OpenID Connect-compliant framework for implementing authentication and identity services in ASP.NET Core applications.

Duende IdentityServer provides an OpenID Connect-compliant authentication service for ASP.NET Core applications. A .NET MAUI app opens the identity provider’s login page in a browser, receives an authorization result, and obtains a JSON Web Token for protected API calls. section 8.1.2

MauiStockTake authentication

AuthService configures OidcClientOptions, calls LoginAsync, and receives a JWT after the user signs in through IdentityServer. The token can then authenticate calls to the MauiStockTake API. section 8.1.2
