How JWT token Works in dot net core?

Question

How JWT token Works?, what is the role of middleware pipeline in it.

Jaish Mathews · Answer

In business terms, JWT (JSON Web Token) is widely used to ensure secure client validation within APIs, such as REST APIs. By implementing JWT, the system verifies that only authenticated clients are permitted to access services. This process involves the client application's UI passing the JWT token in the request header, confirming the client's identity for each service call. An example header format is shown below for reference. GET /resource HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIXVCJ9TJV...r7E20RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ To ensure secure API access, configure middleware in the service API to validate each endpoint request against the provided JWT token in the request header. This setup will authenticate and authorize requests based on the token, allowing only valid, authorized access to the API resources. Middleare configuration is depending on our authentication provider SDKs. Comprehensive JWT-related areas are outside the scope of this discussion."
