ASP.NET Core HTTP-header authentication middleware

This library implements middleware to add authentication schemes bases on HTTP headers to an ASP.NET Core application.

Usage

In your application setup, add something like this:

builder.Services.AddHeaderAuthentication("MyScheme", o => {
    // Note: It is important that the authentication scheme and the
    // authentication type passed to the handler are the same.
    o.HeaderHandler = new BasicHeaderHandler("MyScheme", new Dictionary<string, string> {
        { "user1", "password1" },
        { "user2", "password2" }
    });
});

The HeaderHandler is an implementation of the Visus.HeaderAuthentication.Handlers.IHeaderHandler interface which creates claims from the configured header values. The library supplies a handler for the basic authentication scheme and a "Token".

Instead of hard coding the users, you can add callbacks to BasicHeaderHandler and TokenHeaderHandler, which allow for lookup of users and tokens in other sources like databases. Setting a custom callback also allows for customising the Sytstem.Security.Claims.Claims created for a successfully authenticated user.
