Learn how to implement secure authentication for your ASP.NET Core Web API application using ASP.NET Identity and JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of creating an Identity context using Entity Framework Code First, registering users in the database, and logging them in. We'll also show you how to configure your Web API to use JWT for authentication and demonstrate how to generate a token for JWT.
Follow along as we test our application using Postman.
By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to authenticate Web API using ASP.NET Identity and JSON Web Tokens.

This explanation of JWT and Identity is the best I've found! It's really clear and easy to understand.

Senior Developer indeed. You are just awesome. You know the flow. If I stay with you for 2month my programming life cannot be the same. You know exactly what you are doing. You know it should work and if it does not work you know why it refuse to work. You are a great Boss and I cut cap for you.

Thank you so much, you make such a difficult concept to implement very simple. I appreciate it

Sensational! Great explanation. I have a question: I need to call the controller of a second application and have it recognize the token generated by the first application. What is the correct way to do this? Can I generate the token in the first application and add it to a session cookie to be read by application 2, or is there a better way?

"Could you please explain what the Employee model is used for? I only noticed its presence in the instructional video."

There are some things I would improve:
- Your endpoints are not restful... you shouldn't be using actions as endpoints (as /register or /login). a good restful endpoint would be for example POST /auth and GET /auth
- The results for your endpoints should return "Bad Request" only when it's really a bad request... an incorrect login should return 403 Forbidden

This was an amazing video. Exactly what I needed for my project, and you do such a great job of explaining what you're doing as you're doing it. Do you have a Paypal or some other way I could send you a tip for this?

Great video, are you planning one version using azure ad as a jwt provider? Would be great if you make this version. God bless you.
