if you are facing an error like Unable to create KeyedHashAlgorithm for algorithm 'HS512', the key size must be greater than: '512' bits, key has '256' bits. Arg_ParamName_Name. Just increase the token size in your settings.json
Hi Patrick. I'm following your videos since the .NET 6 version of this topic. I remember back then you used HMACSHA512 to generate the password Salt. Does this mean HMACSHA512 will always generate the same Salt for the same input even though is in byte[] format?
Why in the world would an api need to know more than just the fact it’s an authenticated user and has access? The UI should do the login and then pass the token generated then with a call that passes they are authenticated and maybe a app id to validate that said app has access to it.
May I have a question about security? JWT is nice but is it a good idea to store there email or some user's data? Is'nt it better to control and check the JWT in the database if the user is logged in or not? Or what's the bet idea in this way how to secure the API?
Please help. How do I make a API that returns a list of records filtered by the personId? I used the scaffolding API wizard. This is killing me. I have it working for getting all the records, but I can’t seem to add a Where clause. Thanks!!
without your code he cant help you but you can do something like this on your service _dataContext.YOUDBCONTEXTTABLE.Where(t => t.Enabled) .AsQueryable(); later you can call the service in your controller.
When you call weather api how does it know to automatically call the auth/login controller to generate the token ? Where is this connection defined exactly ?I don't get it
I'd like to ask this. What is the advantage of using a custom authentication system rathen than using AD for instance? I know when one creates a project in VS, we have the option to select a auth system and it will be implemented and we can twist it.
Hi E243, from experience, especially if you are delivery SaaS, not all client may have AD that you can plug in to, you may want to have a fallback custom authentication system. I hope this helps. Cheers.
@adeyinkaroyal Make sense, but when a customer sign up, those information aren't going to be saved in Azure? I don't think one has to have credentials in AD. If I am wrong then it does make sense.
@@user-nm2el1xl5o Hi, was offline for a while. That's correct, it means on sign up, you manage the customer's data in your repository of choice, hence you can build your own custom authentication on it.
