Ignore JWT Bearer token signature (i.e. don't validate token)

Ignore JWT Bearer token signature (i.e. don't validate token)

It is not recommended to ignore the JWT Bearer token signature as it can lead to security vulnerabilities in your application. However, if you still want to ignore the signature, you can create a custom AuthorizationHandler in ASP.NET Core that always succeeds the authentication.

Here's an example of how to create a custom AuthorizationHandler:

public class IgnoreJwtSignatureHandler : AuthorizationHandler<JwtBearerOptions> { protected override Task HandleRequirementAsync(AuthorizationHandlerContext context, JwtBearerOptions requirement) { context.Succeed(requirement); return Task.CompletedTask; } }

In this example, the IgnoreJwtSignatureHandler class inherits from AuthorizationHandler<JwtBearerOptions>. The HandleRequirementAsync method is overridden to always succeed the authentication by calling the context.Succeed method.

To use this custom AuthorizationHandler, you need to add it to the DI container in the ConfigureServices method of the Startup class:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // ... services.AddAuthentication(options => { options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; }) .AddJwtBearer(options => { options.RequireHttpsMetadata = false; options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters { ValidateIssuer = true, ValidateAudience = true, ValidateLifetime = true, ValidateIssuerSigningKey = false, // disable signature validation ValidIssuer = Configuration["Jwt:Issuer"], ValidAudience = Configuration["Jwt:Audience"], IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Configuration["Jwt:Key"])) }; }); services.AddSingleton<IAuthorizationHandler, IgnoreJwtSignatureHandler>(); // ... }

In this example, the AddJwtBearer method is called to configure JWT Bearer authentication. The ValidateIssuerSigningKey property is set to false to disable signature validation. The AddSingleton method is called to register the custom AuthorizationHandler with the DI container.

With this setup, the JWT Bearer token signature will be ignored and the authentication will always succeed. However, as mentioned before, it is not recommended to disable signature validation as it can lead to security vulnerabilities in your application.
