JWT Authentication in .

NET Core 8 Web API


Step-by-step implementation with code examples

1. Create Web API Project

Use the following command:


dotnet new webapi -n JwtAuthDemo

2. Add Required NuGet Packages

Install the following packages:


- Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer

3. Configure JWT in Program.cs

builder.Services.AddAuthentication("Bearer")
.AddJwtBearer("Bearer", options =>
{
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
ValidateIssuer = true,
ValidateAudience = true,
ValidateLifetime = true,
ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
ValidIssuer = "yourIssuer",
ValidAudience = "yourAudience",
IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("your_secret_key"))
};
});

builder.Services.AddAuthorization();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

4. Generate JWT Token (AuthController.cs)

[HttpPost("login")]
public IActionResult Login([FromBody] LoginModel user)
{
if (user.Username == "admin" && user.Password == "password")
{
var claims = new[] {
new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Username)
};

var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("your_secret_key"));


var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);

Step-by-step implementation with code examples

var token = new JwtSecurityToken(


issuer: "yourIssuer",
audience: "yourAudience",
claims: claims,
expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
signingCredentials: creds);

return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) });


}

return Unauthorized();
}

5. Protect Endpoints with [Authorize]

[Authorize]
[HttpGet("secure-data")]
public IActionResult GetSecureData()
{
return Ok("This is a protected endpoint!");
}

6. LoginModel.cs

public class LoginModel


{
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
