Bearer

Use bearer middleware to secure HTTP endpoints by verifying bearer tokens

The bearer HTTP middleware verifies a Bearer Token using OpenID Connect on a Web API without modifying the application. This design separates authentication/authorization concerns from the application, so that application operators can adopt and configure authentication/authorization providers without impacting the application code.

Component format
