Authentication is an essential component of pretty much any REST API. Most of the resources you expose through REST API services, unless they are protected inside intranet, need to be protected by some kind of authentication.

Running .NET Core on Raspberry PI with Raspbian Stretch

Setting up .NET Core on Raspbery Stretch Linux distribution running on Raspberry PI
0
Apart from running on Windows and Linux both x86 and x64 architecture, .NET Core is an ideal platform for IOT (Internet of things) projects because it can also run on ARM32 and ARM64. This means you can run it pretty much any device with both RISC or CISC processor architecture. If you are .NET developer or you are familiar with .NET platform and C# language, this means you can now write applications that run on Raspberry Pi which is based on RISC architecture by writing them in Visual Studio...read more

Setting up Kestrel port in configuration file in ASP.NET Core

Reading port from configuration file in Program class Main method
0
When running ASP.NET Core application as self-hosted using Kestrel, it will by default use port 5000 for listening for requests. This should not be a big issue since you can always proxy requests to port 5000. Problem occurs when you might want to have multiple applications on one host, or you simply cannot use port 5000 for security or any other reasons.Luckily, default port for ASP.NET Core application running on Kestrel can be easily changed, but in order to make it easily configurable there are few changes you need to make in your code in order to access IHostingEnvironment and IConfiguration implementation instances combined. ...read more

Model validation is an important part of request life-cycle and pipeline in MVC Core regardless whether you are building Web API project or ASP.NET MVC web application.
