BasicAuthExample

This project demonstrates how to implement Basic Authentication in an ASP.NET Core application. It is designed to serve as a simple and clear reference for developers who want to understand and implement this type of authentication in their APIs.

Features

  • Configuration of Basic Authentication with in-memory credential validation.
  • User and password validation with appropriate error responses.
  • Protection of API endpoints using authentication filters.
  • Practical examples of protected routes.

Technologies Used

  • ASP.NET 8.
  • Minimal dependencies to focus on authentication.

Project Structure

  1. Controllers: Contains public and protected endpoints to test authentication.
  2. Middleware: Basic Authentication implementation.

How to Use

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/erikfernandes/BasicAuthExample.git
cd BasicAuthExample
  2. Configure the project:
    Update the credentials in the BasicAuthExample/Credentials.cs file or set up your preferred data source.
  3. Run the application: 
    dotnet run
  4. Test the endpoint using tools like Postman, Insomnia, or cURL. Use the HTTP Authorization header with credentials encoded in Base64: 
    Authorization: Basic base64(username:password)
