asp.net-core-webapi

I have a .NET Core 1.1 API with EF Core 1.1 and using Microsoft's vanilla setup of using Dependency Injection to provide the DbContext to my services. (Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/data/ef-mvc/intro#register-the-context-with-dependency-injection ) Now, I am looking into parallelizing database reads as an optimization using WhenAll So instead of: var result1 = await _dbContext.TableModel1.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.SomeId == AnId); var result2 = await _dbContext.TableModel2.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.SomeOtherProp == AProp); I use: var repositoryTask1 = _dbContext

I am a bit confused as to why there is no Individual User Accounts authentication option in the latest ASP.NET Core Web API template. Is it still possible to implement individual user accounts the way that the MVC template does or would it not make sense? Let's say I am creating a stand-alone web API that is going to have all of my business logic and data layer that accesses the database which has the AspNet Identity tables. I plan on making calls to this API w/ an MVC app. I know one way of doing this is to create an asp.net MVC app w/ individual user accounts auth and simply build the API

For serveral days now I am trying to get OAuth authentication with Google and Facebook to work within my ASP.net core web api project. my current status is: I have an ASP.net core Web Api project in which the users need to be authenticated I have an angular 2 web app which should use my web api (with authentication) I have an android app, which should use my web api (with authentication) my goal is: Using Google/Facebook as OAuth providers for login later: adding own user accounts (probably with IdentityServer4) no need to redirect to a special login website (like the IdentityServer4 solution)

After a lot of struggling (and a lot of tuturials, guides, etc) I managed to setup a small .NET Core REST Web API with an Auth Controller issuing JWT tokens when stored username and password are valid. The token stores the user id as sub claim. I also managed to setup the Web API to validate those tokens when a method uses the Authorize annotation. app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(...) Now my question: How do I read the user id (stored in the subject claim) in my controllers (in a Web API)? It is basically this question ( How do I get current user in ASP .NET Core ) but I need an answer for a

Currently having an issue with authorization headers in swashbuckle for .net core The first line of code on every endpoint is: string auth = Request.Headers["Authorization"]; When using postman, everything works smoothly, but when making a request from localhost/swagger, the header is empty when a breakpoint is inserted, the header is a null value. the body of the request is in tact and everything works properly when the authorization is removed from the endpoint In my services.AddSwaggerGen I add the security definition: services.AddSwaggerGen(c => { c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Info { Version =

I have an angular project and i am using .net core 2.o Web API. I stored my user info in Jwt and i want log every database operation.

I'm working on a .Net core solution that takes backup of storage files from another microservice and because this process takes too long time, we decided to build this routine under a background task.By following this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/hosted-services?view=aspnetcore-2.1 I have implemented the background by using Queued background tasks like the following : public interface IBackgroundTaskQueue { void QueueBackgroundWorkItem(Func<CancellationToken, Task> workItem); Task<Func<CancellationToken, Task>> DequeueAsync( CancellationToken
