Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition

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.
