I am developing some Web Api with .Net core 3.0 and want to integrate it with SwashBuckle.Swagger.
It is working fine, but when I add JWT authentication, it does not work as I expect.
To do that, I added the code below:
services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
{
c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Microsoft.OpenApi.Models.OpenApiInfo { Title = "My Web API", Version = "v1" });
c.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
{
Description = "JWT Authorization header using the Bearer scheme. Example: \"Authorization: Bearer {token}\"",
Name = "Authorization",
In = ParameterLocation.Header,
Type = SecuritySchemeType.ApiKey
});
});
After adding AddSecurityDefinition
function, I can see the Authorize button and when I click it, I see the form below:
Then I type Bearer WhatEverApiKeyIsfgdgdgdg845734987fgdhgiher635kjh
, After doing it I expect to see authorization: Bearer WhatEverApiKeyIsfgdgdgdg845734987fgdhgiher635kjh
in the request's header , when I send a request to the Web Api from Swagger. But authorization is not added to the request header. I am using SwashBuckle.Swagger(5.0.0-rc3). Please note there are many samples which work fine on .net core 2.0, but Swashbuckle swagger functions has changed on the latest version so I cannot use that samples.
After some research, I eventually found the answer here
Before seeing this page, I knew that I should use AddSecurityRequirement
after AddSecurityDefinition
because of many samples, but it was a problem that the function parameters have changed on .NET Core 3.0.
By the way, the final answer is as below:
services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
{
c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo {
Title = "My API",
Version = "v1"
});
c.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme {
In = ParameterLocation.Header,
Description = "Please insert JWT with Bearer into field",
Name = "Authorization",
Type = SecuritySchemeType.ApiKey
});
c.AddSecurityRequirement(new OpenApiSecurityRequirement {
{
new OpenApiSecurityScheme
{
Reference = new OpenApiReference
{
Type = ReferenceType.SecurityScheme,
Id = "Bearer"
}
},
new string[] { }
}
});
});
If you are using Swagger 3.0 then it has build-in support for JWT authentication.
You need to use ParameterLocation.Header, SecuritySchemeType.Http, bearer, and JWT in OpenApiSecurityScheme as shown below.
After this, you wouldn't need to specify token in Bearer {token} format. Only specify the token and the security scheme will automatically apply it in the header.
// Bearer token authentication
OpenApiSecurityScheme securityDefinition = new OpenApiSecurityScheme()
{
Name = "Bearer",
BearerFormat = "JWT",
Scheme = "bearer",
Description = "Specify the authorization token.",
In = ParameterLocation.Header,
Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http,
};
c.AddSecurityDefinition("jwt_auth", securityDefinition);
// Make sure swagger UI requires a Bearer token specified
OpenApiSecurityScheme securityScheme = new OpenApiSecurityScheme()
{
Reference = new OpenApiReference()
{
Id = "jwt_auth",
Type = ReferenceType.SecurityScheme
}
};
OpenApiSecurityRequirement securityRequirements = new OpenApiSecurityRequirement()
{
{securityScheme, new string[] { }},
};
c.AddSecurityRequirement(securityRequirements);
If you don't want to add a token manually and you want the scopes to be selectable along with passing a clientId to the identity server you can add something like this.
I have used implicit flow, but you can configure any flow using the following mechanism:
options.AddSecurityDefinition("oauth2", new OpenApiSecurityScheme()
{
Flows = new OpenApiOAuthFlows
{
Implicit = new OpenApiOAuthFlow
{
AuthorizationUrl = new Uri("http://localhost"),
TokenUrl = new Uri("http://localhost"),
Scopes = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "Foundation API", "FoundationApi" }
}
}
},
In = ParameterLocation.Header,
Name = "Authorization",
Type = SecuritySchemeType.OAuth2
});
The output will be like this:
