.Net Core Web API with Authentication

Question

User-305496339 posted

Hi Friends,

I was wondering how would I create a .Net Core Web API in Visual Studio Code with Authentication from the CLI. I wanted to use the Identity UI. I noticed that when you try to create a .Net Core Web API in Visual Studio it won't allow you to unless you enter some Azure values. Thanks!

Web API does not have a UI.  Create an Razor Pages application and add Web API to the project.

Thanks for your help. You made a great point that the API does not have a UI. But I was wondering can I  add Identity to my web api?  And let the Web API handle the non user interface aspects of Identity? Thanks !!!!

Sure.  This could be a large undertaking or something simple.   Have you thought about what parts of Identity you plan to implement?  What features you want?  Anything???
