Your client application must send the token in the HTTP header when accessing secured resources. You client application is responsible for persisting the token as well. Frankly, it is a bit confusing that you previously created token based security but
do not understand how token security works.
When i made a request to the Postman, i get below error
{"type":"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.13","title":"Unsupported Media Type","status":415,"traceId":"80000008-0001-fd00-b63f-84710c7967bb"}
Please share the screenshot of the request you sent (with request headers and body details), so that we can understand and troubleshoot the issue better.

A 415 error means the content type is unexpected. The example uses Identity to store user accounts. Did you create a user account? Were you able to generated a JWT token? Can you explain the steps that cause the error.
Unfortunately I haven't able to create user account neither JWT token.
I thought of using ASP.NET identity using SQL ASP.NET identity user table for authentication.
You still have not clarified what you're doing. Below is a simplified token generator that does not use Identity.
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult GenerateTokens(string userId)
{
var claims = new Claim[]
{
new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userId)
};
var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Tokens:Key"]));
var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
claims,
expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
signingCredentials: creds);
return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) });
}
So my final requirement is before i generate a token it should Authenticate with username and password which can be ASP.NET Identity users and after authentication it generates a token for you. Do you have any example like that would be much appreciated

That is exactly how the original code works. First you need to create a user account.
Or create a project with the Individual Account option.
Or add Identity manually.
shabbir_215
How can I create this JwtApiUser ?
You used IdentityUser.
My scaffolded DbContext.
namespace JwtApi.Areas.Identity.Data
{
// Add profile data for application users by adding properties to the JwtApiUser class
public class JwtApiUser : IdentityUser
{
}
}
namespace JwtApi.Models
{
public class JwtApiContext : IdentityDbContext<JwtApiUser>
{
public JwtApiContext(DbContextOptions<JwtApiContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(builder);
// Customize the ASP.NET Identity model and override the defaults if needed.
// For example, you can rename the ASP.NET Identity table names and more.
// Add your customizations after calling base.OnModelCreating(builder);
}
}
}
public class IdentityHostingStartup : IHostingStartup
{
public void Configure(IWebHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.ConfigureServices((context, services) => {
services.AddDbContext<JwtApiContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(
context.Configuration.GetConnectionString("JwtApiContextConnection")));
services.AddDefaultIdentity<JwtApiUser>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<JwtApiContext>();
});
}
}
[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> GenerateTokens(string userId,string password)
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId);
var result = await _signInManager.CheckPasswordSignInAsync(user, password, false);
var claims = new Claim[]
{
new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userId)
};
var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Tokens:Key"]));
var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
claims,
expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
signingCredentials: creds);
return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) });
}
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId);
In the above code when i pass a username as parameter it return as null :(
In the above code when i pass a username as parameter it return as null :(
Works for me. Did you create an account? Did you verify the account exists? How are you submitting the userId and password? Have you tried using the Visual Studio debugger? Can you explain what troubleshooting steps you are performed up to this point?
Below is my revised code, I missed UserId.ToString it worked :)
[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> GenerateTokens(string userId,string password)
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId.ToString());
if(user != null)
{
var result = await _signInManager.CheckPasswordSignInAsync(user, password, false);
if(result.Succeeded)
{
var claims = new Claim[]
{
new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userId)
};
var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Tokens:Key"]));
var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
_config["Tokens:Issuer"],
claims,
expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
signingCredentials: creds);
return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) });
}
}
return BadRequest("Could not create token");
}
My last query, I know you must be irritated with me :)
Instead of passing as Param userID and password can we pass as part of the Body ?

Add the [Authorize] attribute to the actions or controllers you wish to secure.
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)] [Route("api/[controller]")] [ApiController] public class ValuesController : ControllerBase { // GET api/values [HttpGet] public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> Get() { return new string[] { "value1", "value2" }; }Your client application must send the token in the HTTP header when accessing secured resources.

That is exactly how the original code works. First you need to create a user account.

Scaffold Identity.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/scaffold-identity?view=aspnetcore-3.0&tabs=visual-studio
Or create a project with the Individual Account option.
Or add Identity manually.
You used IdentityUser.
My scaffolded DbContext.
namespace JwtApi.Areas.Identity.Data { // Add profile data for application users by adding properties to the JwtApiUser class public class JwtApiUser : IdentityUser { } }namespace JwtApi.Models { public class JwtApiContext : IdentityDbContext<JwtApiUser> { public JwtApiContext(DbContextOptions<JwtApiContext> options) : base(options) { } protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) { base.OnModelCreating(builder); // Customize the ASP.NET Identity model and override the defaults if needed. // For example, you can rename the ASP.NET Identity table names and more. // Add your customizations after calling base.OnModelCreating(builder); } } }public class IdentityHostingStartup : IHostingStartup { public void Configure(IWebHostBuilder builder) { builder.ConfigureServices((context, services) => { services.AddDbContext<JwtApiContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer( context.Configuration.GetConnectionString("JwtApiContextConnection"))); services.AddDefaultIdentity<JwtApiUser>() .AddEntityFrameworkStores<JwtApiContext>(); }); } }Member

Great Thanks for the manual Scaffold identity.
[HttpGet] public async Task<IActionResult> GenerateTokens(string userId,string password) { var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId); var result = await _signInManager.CheckPasswordSignInAsync(user, password, false); var claims = new Claim[] { new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userId) }; var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Tokens:Key"])); var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256); var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Tokens:Issuer"], _config["Tokens:Issuer"], claims, expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), signingCredentials: creds); return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) }); }var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId);
In the above code when i pass a username as parameter it return as null :(

Works for me. Did you create an account? Did you verify the account exists? How are you submitting the userId and password? Have you tried using the Visual Studio debugger? Can you explain what troubleshooting steps you are performed up to this point?

Sorry works for me as well
Below is my revised code, I missed UserId.ToString it worked :)
[HttpGet] public async Task<IActionResult> GenerateTokens(string userId,string password) { var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(userId.ToString()); if(user != null) { var result = await _signInManager.CheckPasswordSignInAsync(user, password, false); if(result.Succeeded) { var claims = new Claim[] { new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userId) }; var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Tokens:Key"])); var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256); var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Tokens:Issuer"], _config["Tokens:Issuer"], claims, expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), signingCredentials: creds); return Ok(new { token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token) }); } } return BadRequest("Could not create token"); }My last query, I know you must be irritated with me :)
Instead of passing as Param userID and password can we pass as part of the Body ?
Much Appreciate your help
Kind Regards,

That does not make sense since userId is already defined as a string in the method signature.
Yes, and illustrated above.
//POST: /api/token [HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> GenerateToken([FromBody] LoginViewModel model) {public class LoginViewModel { [Required] [EmailAddress] public string Email { get; set; } [Required] [DataType(DataType.Password)] public string Password { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Remember me?")] public bool RememberMe { get; set; } }Member

It's very simple, set the request to POST, set the body to "Raw", set the type to JSON, enter JSON format that matches your view model.
{ "Email" : "email@test.com", "Password": "password", "RememberMe": false }IMHO, your best source of information is PostMan support or going through the help file.
