This topic describes the scenario of integrating ACS with an ASP.NET relying party application. By integrating your web application with ACS, you factor the features of authentication and authorization out of your code. In other words, ACS provides the mechanism for authenticating and authorizing users to your web application. For more information, see Web Applications and ACS.

In this practice scenario, ACS authenticates users with a Google identity into a test ASP.NET relying party application.
