Authentication Authentication
============== ==============
Users register authentication services in their Startup.cs as usual but they provide a scheme (key) with each registration e.g. In order to authenticate ReRoutes and subsequently use any of Ocelot's claims based features such as authorisation or modifying the request with values from the token. Users must register authentication services in their Startup.cs as usual but they provide a scheme (authentication provider key) with each registration e.g.
.. code-block:: csharp .. code-block:: csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{ {
services.AddAuthentication() var authenticationProviderKey = "TestKey";
.AddJwtBearer("TestKey", x =>
{
x.Authority = "test";
x.Audience = "test";
});
services.AddOcelot(Configuration); services.AddAuthentication()
.AddJwtBearer(authenticationProviderKey, x =>
{
});
} }
In this example TestKey is the scheme tha this provider has been registered with. In this example TestKey is the scheme that this provider has been registered with.

If a ReRoute is authenticated Ocelot will invoke whatever scheme is associated with it while executing the authentication middleware. If the request fails authentication Ocelot returns a http status code 401.
JWT Tokens
^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to authenticate using JWT tokens maybe from a provider like Auth0 you can register your authentication middleware as normal e.g.
.. code-block:: csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var authenticationProviderKey = "TestKey";
services.AddAuthentication()
.AddJwtBearer(authenticationProviderKey, x =>
{
x.Authority = "test";
x.Audience = "test";
});
services.AddOcelot(Configuration);
}
Then map the authentication provider key to a ReRoute in your configuration e.g.
.. code-block:: json
"ReRoutes": [{
"DownstreamPathTemplate": "/",
"UpstreamPathTemplate": "/",
"UpstreamHttpMethod": ["Post"],
"ReRouteIsCaseSensitive": false,
"DownstreamScheme": "http",
"DownstreamHost": "localhost",
"DownstreamPort": 51876,
"AuthenticationOptions": {
"AuthenticationProviderKey": "TestKey",
"AllowedScopes": []
}
}]
Identity Server Bearer Tokens
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to use IdentityServer bearer tokens register your IdentityServer services as usual in ConfigureServices with a scheme (key). If you don't understand how to do this please consul the IdentityServer documentation.
.. code-block:: csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var authenticationProviderKey = "TestKey";
var options = o =>
{
o.Authority = "https://whereyouridentityserverlives.com";
o.ApiName = "api";
o.SupportedTokens = SupportedTokens.Both;
o.ApiSecret = "secret";
};
services.AddAuthentication()
.AddIdentityServerAuthentication(authenticationProviderKey, options);
services.AddOcelot(Configuration);
}
Then map the authentication provider key to a ReRoute in your configuration e.g.
.. code-block:: json
"ReRoutes": [{
"DownstreamPathTemplate": "/",
"UpstreamPathTemplate": "/",
"UpstreamHttpMethod": ["Post"],
"ReRouteIsCaseSensitive": false,
"DownstreamScheme": "http",
"DownstreamHost": "localhost",
"DownstreamPort": 51876,
"AuthenticationOptions": {
"AuthenticationProviderKey": "TestKey",
"AllowedScopes": []
}
}]
