Hi,

My google fu is off so I turn to you - the braintrust of reddit.

Imagine a base project with the standard implementation of Identity (local accounts). Can I have a parallell authentication to this? Let me explain:

I want to authenticate against a 3rd party service via rest that pretty much gives me an OK with some user information when authenticated. I then want to use that data to recieve additional data (holy moly...) from another service. With all the collected data I would just want to set a cookie of sorts with some claims and let the user pass as logged in (without having a local account connected to it). I guess I want to bypass Identity authentication (?) and then use it for authorization afterwards...I've lost myself.

Is this possible? I've read about several override options etc. but can't really match it against my case.

Any pointers in any direction is wildly appreciated.

Cheerios!

(btw, I still need the local accounts option as another type of usergroup is going to use that one instead)
