jwt

What problem does it solve?

Implements JWT Bearer authentication across Sorcha services to securely identify users and services, enabling policy-based access control.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Provides support for user, service, and delegated token types with shared issuer settings.
• Enables issuing, validating, and revoking tokens using a consistent JwtSettings source.
• Integrates with ASP.NET Core authentication and authorization to protect endpoints and enforce policies.

Quick Start

1. Ensure Sorcha.ServiceDefaults is referenced and that JWT authentication is enabled in Program.cs.
2. Protect endpoints with .RequireAuthorization() and define policies to enforce access rules.
3. Issue and validate tokens for user or service clients and test 401/403 responses.
