jwt create token c# code example

Example 1: validate jwt token c#

public static Task<IPrincipal> validateToken(string token)
        {
            ClaimsPrincipal principal = getPrincipal(token);
            if (principal == null)
                return null;
            ClaimsIdentity identity = null;
            try
            {
                identity = (ClaimsIdentity)principal.Identity;
                IPrincipal Iprincipal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
                return Task.FromResult(Iprincipal);
            }
            catch (NullReferenceException)
            {
                return Task.FromResult<IPrincipal>(null);
            }
        }

 private static ClaimsPrincipal getPrincipal(string token)
        {
            try
            {
                JwtSecurityTokenHandler tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
                JwtSecurityToken jwtToken = (JwtSecurityToken)tokenHandler.ReadToken(token);
                if (jwtToken == null)
                    return null;
                byte[] key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(config.jwtSecret);
                TokenValidationParameters parameters = new TokenValidationParameters()
                {
                    ValidIssuer = config.jwtIssuer,
                    ValidAudience = config.jwtIssuer,
                    ValidateLifetime = true,
                    RequireExpirationTime = true,
                    ValidateIssuer = true,
                    ValidateAudience = true,
                    IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(key),
                    ClockSkew = TimeSpan.Zero
                };
                SecurityToken securityToken;
                ClaimsPrincipal principal = tokenHandler.ValidateToken(token,
                      parameters, out securityToken);
                return principal;
            }
            catch
            {
                return null;
            }
  }

Example 2: c# asp.net mvc core implementing jwt

// .net token
private string GenerateJSONWebToken(UserModel userInfo)    
{    
    var securityKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_config["Jwt:Key"]));    
    var credentials = new SigningCredentials(securityKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);    
    
    var claims = new[] {    
        new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, userInfo.Username),    
        new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Email, userInfo.EmailAddress),    
        new Claim("DateOfJoing", userInfo.DateOfJoing.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")),    
        new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Jti, Guid.NewGuid().ToString())    
    };    
    
    var token = new JwtSecurityToken(_config["Jwt:Issuer"],    
        _config["Jwt:Issuer"],    
        claims,    
        expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(120),    
        signingCredentials: credentials);    
    
    return new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token);    
}

Example 3: c# jwt

// Startup.cs
services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
    options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    options.DefaultScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
})
.AddJwtBearer(options =>
{
    options.SaveToken = true;
    options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false;
    options.TokenValidationParameters = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.TokenValidationParameters()
    {
        ValidateIssuer = true,
        ValidateAudience = true,
        ValidAudience = "https://www.yogihosting.com",
        ValidIssuer = "https://www.yogihosting.com",
        IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("MynameisJamesBond007"))
    };
});
