About

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer is a middleware component designed for ASP.NET Core applications. It facilitates JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication, enabling secure authentication for APIs and web services. This package allows you to validate JWT tokens issued by an authentication server, ensuring secure access to your application's resources.

Key Features

  • Seamless integration with ASP.NET Core applications.
  • Supports JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication.
  • Enables secure authentication for APIs and web services.
  • Flexible configuration options for token validation parameters.
  • Works with .NET Core 3.0 and newer, as well as .NET Standard 2.1.

How to Use

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using System.Text;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
        .AddJwtBearer(options =>
        {
            options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
            {
                ValidateIssuer = true,
                ValidateAudience = true,
                ValidateLifetime = true,
                ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
                ValidIssuer = "your_issuer",
                ValidAudience = "your_audience",
                IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("your_secret_key"))
            };
        });

    // Other configurations...
}
