ASP.NET Core 6: Trouble Passing Multiple Authentication Schemes for Different Endpoints
I'm implementing an API using ASP.NET Core 6 where I need to secure different endpoints with different authentication schemes, specifically JWT for most endpoints and cookie authentication for a few specific ones. I have configured the services like this: ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddAuthentication(options => { options.DefaultScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; }) .AddJwtBearer(options => { options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters { ValidateIssuer = true, ValidateAudience = true, ValidateLifetime = true, ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true, ValidIssuer = "myIssuer", ValidAudience = "myAudience", IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("mySuperSecretKey")) }; }) .AddCookie(options => { options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login"; }); } ``` In my `Startup.cs`, I have the following configuration for the HTTP request pipeline: ```csharp public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { app.UseRouting(); app.UseAuthentication(); app.UseAuthorization(); app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllers(); }); } ``` However, when I try to access an endpoint secured with cookie authentication by navigating through a browser, it seems to skip the authentication middleware entirely, resulting in a 401 Unauthorized behavior. The JWT endpoints work fine, but the browser doesn't seem to send the cookie as expected, leading to the failure. I've confirmed that the cookies are being set correctly from the login endpoint, and I can see them in the browser's storage. When I test the cookie-protected endpoint via Postman (with the cookie manually added), it works as expected. I suspect this might be an scenario with how I'm defining the authentication schemes or the order of middleware execution. I've tried debugging and logging within the authentication middleware, but it seems like it's bypassing it altogether when I attempt to access the cookie-protected endpoint from the browser. Am I missing something in the configuration or the way I'm specifying the authentication schemes for different routes? Any guidance on how to properly configure this setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
