C# 8 and .NET Core 3 Projects Using Azure - Second Edition

By: Paul Michaels, Dirk Strauss, Jas Rademeyer

Overview of this book

.NET Core is a general-purpose, modular, cross-platform, and opensource implementation of .NET. The latest release of .NET Core 3 comes with improved performance and security features, along with support for desktop applications. .NET Core 3 is not only useful for new developers looking to start learning the framework, but also for legacy developers interested in migrating their apps. Updated with the latest features and enhancements, this updated second edition is a step-by-step, project-based guide. The book starts with a brief introduction to the key features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3. You'll learn to work with relational data using Entity Framework Core 3, before understanding how to use ASP.NET Core. As you progress, you’ll discover how you can use .NET Core to create cross-platform applications. Later, the book will show you how to upgrade your old WinForms apps to .NET Core 3. The concluding chapters will then help you use SignalR effectively to add real-time functionality to your applications, before demonstrating how to implement MongoDB in your apps. Finally, you'll delve into serverless computing and how to build microservices using Docker and Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in developing applications using .NET Core 3.

As it currently stands, we have an identity server that runs; however, we can run our client without any credentials and use our application. Before we add resources, clients, or users to identity server, the next step is to have it refuse us entry (because we haven't set any of these things up).

Securing the API

In order to secure the API, we need to do just two things (neither of which requires IdentityServer and one is already done for us!). The first is that we need to tell ASP.NET Core that we want to use authorization. In our startup file, we're already calling AddControllers. Because ASP.NET Core is now open source, we can simply look at what this does for us:
