Creating An Identity Service For JWT Authentication In ASP.NET Core
Creating an Identity Service for JWT authentication in Minimal APIs, encapsulating token generation logic within a service for modularity and testability.
In my previous article, I covered validation in Minimal APIs, but security is just as important. Most applications rely on JWT authentication for securing APIs, so in this article, I’ll walk you through how to create an Identity Service for JWT authentication. 👉 Note: This article will not include ASP.NET Core Identity. If you're interested in a separate article on that, let me know, and I’ll add an implementation to my GitHub repo. 📌 Check out the full implementation here: https://github.com/stevsharp/minimal-vs-controller-benchmark/tree/main/TestJwt Step 1: Creating the Identity Service In...
