39 Applying ASP.NET Core Identity

This chapter covers

Authenticating users with ASP.NET Core Identity
Implementing and enforcing an authorization policy
Using bearer tokens instead of authentication cookies for web services or JavaScript clients

In this chapter, I explain how ASP.NET Core Identity is applied to authenticate users and authorize access to application features. I create the features required for users to establish their identity, explain how access to endpoints can be controlled, and demonstrate the security features that Blazor provides. I also show two different ways to authenticate web service clients. Table 39.1 provides a guide to the chapter.
