Authenticating API Clients
Adam Freeman · Apress eBooks · 2021
In this chapter, I explain how ASP.NET Core Identity can be used to authenticate API clients using a simple JavaScript application. Some projects can rely on standard ASP.NET Core user authentication for their clients, and I demonstrate how this works. For other projects, I explain how to provide authentication using cookies and using bearer tokens, which are useful for clients that don’t support cookies. Table 12-1 puts API authentication in context.
