[Asgardeo] Register your application to sign-in with Ethereum

Introduction to Ethereum Login:

The Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) standard powers Ethereum Login, which changes the way people log in to websites by letting users use their Ethereum wallets as safe IDs across multiple services. This decentralised method makes sure that users have full control over their data, which gets rid of the risks that come with centralised identity companies like Facebook. Users decide what information to share, which makes privacy better, since cryptographic markers are used instead of standard personal information.

Getting Started Ethereum Login with Asgardeo:

Ethereum Login, facilitated by Asgardeo, introduces a seamless integration of blockchain-based authentication into the user login experience. Asgardeo, a cloud identity provider facilitator, now enables the creation of Ethereum connectors and updates application login steps accordingly. This collaboration streamlines the process, allowing users to easily incorporate Ethereum Login within their applications.

Developer experience

• Step 01: Add a new OIDC client.

Use the following request command to add a new OIDC client.

curl -X POST https://oidc.signinwithethereum.org/register -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d  '{"redirect_uris": ["https://api.asgardeo.io/t/<yourtenantName>/commonauth"]}'

Response:

{
   "client_id":"123456788900987654321",
   "client_secret":"6dsLG8LFGQRjpKTL",
   "registration_access_token":"FXyx8idI5tR8954679845679",
   "registration_client_uri":"https://oidc.signinwithethereum.org/client/49bbb8f8-4587-437f-b2a1-9865874684",
   "redirect_uris":[
      "https://api.asgardeo.io/t/<tenantName>/commonauth"
   ]
}

Note that It will ask for regiter a wallet at the first time if you not enrol with your wallet at first time. There you can register to “METMASK”.
