Authentication and Authorization

Creating the secret for JWT

Create user secret by right clicking on the project and then selecting 'Manage User Secrets'. Then structure the json content as follow:

{
  "JwtSecurityToken": {
    "Key": "<enter a base64 encoded key here. can be generated from git bash using command: 'openssl rand -base64 32'"
  }
}

Run the project

Migrate Database

• Update the database connection string in the appsettings.json(or appsettings.Development.json) to point to a MSSQL database.
• Install Entity Framework tool(if it is not already installed): dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef.
• Run dotnet ef dbcontext info to check if the database connection string is in proper shape.
• Run dotnet ef database update to apply the migrations and create the tables.
• Run dotnet run to run the project.

Initial Admin user

An admin user is created automatically at the first time run of the project.

• Email: admin@email.com
• Password: 1234

On the call to /api/user/register route, new customers will be created.

Admin and customer can login using the /api/user/login route.

Test authentication and authorization using the other two routes.
