Describe the solution you'd like
Most of us will have an existing codebase that is still in transition from DotNet 4.7/8 to DotNet6/7.
In my case, I would like to stand up a modern Auth Server on ASP.NET 7 that connects with multiple clients from ASP.NET 4.8, ASP.NET6/7, as well as Blazor and MAUI.
I don't see a need to provide a server on anything but the latest version of .NET. It is the clients that may be tied to a legacy codebase, and so we need examples of all these clients connecting to the same modern Auth Server.
Additional context
No response
Instead of adding another issue, I'll append this one:
The Kalarba demo has an ASP.NET 4.8 OWIN Server talking to an NET7 client. In line with my comments above, this scenario should be flipped.
The server should be on the latest .NET platform, with demos coming from various client platform vintages.

While the ASP.NET Core server integration is definitely more popular than the OWIN/ASP.NET 4.x integration, it is frequently used to modernize monolithic ASP.NET apps that used OAuthAuthorizationServerMiddleware: it offers an easy migration path for those who want to keep their OAuth 2.0/OIDC server in their monolithic apps instead of adopting a microservice approach. It's probably not a scenario you're interested in, but it's a scenario that exists 😄
As for adding new samples, I'm not against it, but maintaining all these samples has a cost and it's impossible to create samples for every possible combination.
