Empty authorization header on requests for Swashbuckle.AspNetCore

Question

Currently having an issue with authorization headers in swashbuckle for .net core The first line of code on every endpoint is:

string auth = Request.Headers[\"Au         


        

Answer 1

The problem here is that the name in your security definition ("Bearer") does not match the name added to your security requirement ("Authorization"). For background context, there used to be a bug in SwashBuckle that meant that it enforced authorization without the SecurityRequirement defined so many found that it suddenly stopped working for them. The Requirement definition is a bit clunky and leads to issues like these.

If you change the SecurityRequirement to match the code below it should work:

 services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
    {
        c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Info
        {
            Version = "v1",
            Title = "Employee Navigator",
            Description = "Authorization Key: Z29vZEtleQ==",
        });
        c.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new ApiKeyScheme
        {
            Name = "Authorization",
            In = "header",
            Type = "apiKey",
            Description = "Authorization Key: Z29vZEtleQ=="
        });
        c.AddSecurityRequirement(new Dictionary<string, IEnumerable<string>>
        {
            { "Bearer", new[] { "readAccess", "writeAccess" } }
        });

    });
