Overview

IdentityModel.AspNetCore is a helper library for ASP.NET Core web applications and service worker applications.

It helps with access token lifetime management for pure machine to machine communication and user-centric applications with refresh tokens.

For user-centric it provides:

• storage abstraction for access and refresh tokens (default implementation using the ASP.NET Core authentication session)
• automatic refresh of expired access tokens
• refresh token revocation
• token lifetime automation for HttpClient

For worker services it provides:

• caching abstraction for access tokens (default implementation using IDistributedCache)
• automatic renewal of expired access tokens
• token lifetime automation for HttpClient
