Sample ASP.NET Core 2.2 REST API

ASP.NET Core 2.2 REST API Example

This example app shows how to create a simple REST API using ASP.NET Core 2.2 with an ASP.NET MVC front end. This uses Okta for authentication.

Prerequisites: the .NET Core SDK

Getting Started

To install this example application, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadeveloper/okta-aspnetcore-22-rest-api-example.git

This will install a local copy of the project. You will need to set up some environment variables before the app will run properly.

To integrate Okta's Identity Platform for user authentication, you'll first need to:

• Sign up for a free Okta Developer account
• You will get a URL similar to https://dev-123456.oktapreview.com.
  • Save this URL for later
  • You will also use this URL to login to your Okta account

You will need to create an application in Okta:

• Log in to your Okta account, then navigate to Applications and click the Add Application button
• Select Service and click Next
• Give your application a name (e.g. "Jounral Entries")
• Click Done
• Save your Client ID and Client Secret for later
