netcoreauth

ASP.NET Core with JWT Authentication Demo

Framework and SDK

• Compatibile for Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio for Mac
• Base on .NET Core 2.0
• Swashbuckle.AspNetCore for Swagger API documentation
• Dapper for ORM
• MailKit for email sending
• Azure SQL Database (SQL Server standalone also fine)

Token Policy

• Access Token: JWT token genrate by POST: /api/tokens/access the Sign In API, can be refreshed, the access token has not been stored
• Refresh Token: JWT token genrate by POST: /api/tokens/access the Sign In API, will be replaced by new one if call refresh API, the refresh token has not been stored
• Active Token: JWT token genrate by POST: /api/users the Create Account API and GET: /api/users/sendactiveemail/{email} the Send Account Activation Mail API, use for active account, it has been stored in Token table till finish account activation
• Rest Password Token: JWT token genrate by GET: /api/users/sendresetmail/{email} the Send Reset Password Mail API, use for reset account password, it has been stored in Token table till finish password update.

Steps to Run:

1. Create your database manually and run the user and token tables create script under netcoreauth.model project Scripts folder.
2. Update database connection string in appsettings.json
3. If you want to use mail sending for account activation, please update the Mail.cs class file in netcoreauth.model project, suggest to use Gmail, I tested by Gmail successful in my project.
4. After all, try http://[localhost]:[port]/swagger, to get API document
5. GET: /api/tests/1 this API without Auth, GET: /api/tests this API with Auth
6. Call POST: /api/users to create account
7. Get the token in you database token table, then call PUT: /api/users/active/{token} to active account
8. Call POST: /api/tokens/access to use your email and password login and get tokens (access token and refresh token)

   POST /api/tokens/access
   {
     "email": "xxxx@xxxx.com",
     "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
   }
   

9. Call GET: /api/tests with header: Authorization: Bearer {token}, both access token and refresh token work fine

   GET /api/tests
   Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxx
   

10. Get response: ["value1", "value2"] without 401 HTTP code from GET: /api/tests, that means you get success.

TODO

1. Database script add
2. More detail usage description for this demo
3. Send mail async implementation
4. Add Postman script samples for API calls
5. Upgrade to .NET Core 2.0
6. Add API version support
