Yes, you can add multiple Authentication schemes to your application. Refer to the following link
I finally got the both working. I didn't find anything solved example on internet, hopefully this would help anyone looking for answers.
services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = IISDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "Bearer";
}).AddJwtBearer("Bearer", options =>
{
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
ValidateAudience = false,
//ValidAudience = "the audience you want to validate",
ValidateIssuer = false,
//ValidIssuer = "the isser you want to validate",
ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("myapisecretkey")),
ValidateLifetime = true, //validate the expiration and not before values in the token
ClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5) //5 minute tolerance for the expiration date
};
});
services.AddAuthorization(auth =>
{
auth.AddPolicy("Bearer", new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
.AddAuthenticationSchemes(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme‌​)
.RequireClaim(ClaimTypes.Name, "MyAPIUser").Build());
});
Then select the authentication scheme you want to use on particular controller by decorating it.
[Route("api/MyController")]
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)]
public class MyController : Controller
