WebApiTools.Authentication.Bearer

This library provides extensions to easily configure JWT Bearer Authentication in your ASP.NET Core applications.

1. Quick Setup (Simplest)

If your configuration file contains a JwtOptions section, you can add authentication in one line:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddJwtAuthentication();

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseCors();
app.UseJwtAuthentication();
app.UseHttpsRedirection();

2. Using Configuration Section Explicitly

If you want to be explicit about where the configuration comes from:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddJwtAuthentication(builder.Configuration);

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseCors();
app.UseJwtAuthentication();
app.UseHttpsRedirection();

3. Full Customization (Manual Options Binding)

If you prefer to configure JwtOptions programmatically:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddJwtAuthentication(options =>
{
    options.Issuer = "MyIssuer";
    options.Audience = "MyAudience";
    options.SecretKey = "SuperSecretKey123456";
    options.ExpirationInDays = 7;
    options.ValidateIssuer = true;
    options.ValidateAudience = true;
    options.ValidateLifetime = true;
    options.ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true;
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseCors();
app.UseJwtAuthentication();
app.UseHttpsRedirection();

JwtOptions Configuration

JwtOptions allows you to configure:

  • Issuer: The expected token issuer.
  • Audience: The expected token audience.
  • SecretKey: The symmetric security key used for signing tokens.
  • ExpirationInDays: Default token expiration.
  • ValidateIssuer: Whether to validate the issuer.
  • ValidateAudience: Whether to validate the audience.
  • ValidateLifetime: Whether to check token expiration.
  • ValidateIssuerSigningKey: Whether to validate the signing key.

Best Practices

  1. Always store SecretKey securely (use environment variables or secrets manager).
  2. Place app.UseJwtAuthentication(); before mapping endpoints.
  3. Use the simplest overload unless you need advanced customization.
