Answer 1

ASP.NET Core 2.0 introduced breaking changes to Authentication and Identity.

On 1.x auth providers were configured via Middleware (as the accepted answer's implementation). On 2.0 it's based on services.

Details on MS doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/1x-to-2x/identity-2x

I've written a Basic Authentication implementation for ASP.NET Core 2.0 and publish to NuGet: https://github.com/bruno-garcia/Bazinga.AspNetCore.Authentication.Basic
