Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens version 6.15.0 no user context in AuthorizationHandlerContext

-

A lesson learned i would like to share.


I had a working JWT using RSA key pairs on a .NET 6 based API, installing Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens version 6.15.0 (latest) broke it, my custom policy handler were not getting the user context!


I tried everything i know to fix it from my side but only restoring back to version 6.14.1 fixed it for me.

I checked the package Github and it seems there are a couple issues mentioning dependencies version!

how to copy NuGet packages from one project to another

-
You probably faced that problem at least once, here you are working on your modules trying to build a new model for your solution, create a new dll project and ... here it comes, NuGet packages, you need to have manually install all these NuGet packages that you know form the base of needed libraries for your new module or plug-in, and you need to get every package plus the versions right. If you are like me this would be a soul crushing task to do, so in order for me to be more "efficient" i searched for a way to copy that to the new project, at first i thought well that is easy, just copy "package.json" file, right? , wrong see for some reason this didn't work for me, i was not able to simply do this and restore packages, things went crazy and it seems it's like taking forever! so i have to come up with something even more "efficient" so here you go, hope this save you sometime and but smile on your face just execute below on Visual Studio

How to exclude files with specific extension from your web deploy package

-
i had to re-visit the topic of Web Deploy Package and how to exclude specific files from your package. and sometimes you get even better results then second round you check how to do something. and if you re like me "Mr. i did it before but now i have no idea how" you will get that chance a lot! actually this is one of the main reasons i started this blog, it's kind of my personal information technology, development and DevOps notes that i share with the world. so i wanted to remove all debug (*.pdb), all dll.config and all xml files from my package bin folder. first i found some search results that mention using "ExcludeFilesFromDeployment" tag in your pubxml publish profile file, but examples was to remove a single file by name, or even a multiple by using ; as a delimiter. then i though, what if i tried some common wild card patterns in there. so i came up with this under the "Project" tag <ExcludeFilesFromDeployment>bin\**\*.pdb;

Blazor how to generate that SHA256 check

-
So ... I see that Balzor + .NET 5 (where did Core go?!!) is now do have what i want to get my things running but of course as always something was missing, see Blazor lazy loading is just the thing i was looking for but it doesn’t work unless i reference the module/razor component library on the main project, which i exactly what is don't want. Fortunately this time everything was kind of there, just a bit trouble to do myself. See if you create a client side Razor app, you get blazor.boot.json file generated and on that file you get lazyAssembly entry which supposed to make browsers only get these assemblies if needed (can't see this working on Firefox or Chrome but that's another story), and if you list your assembly there and follow instructions in here magic happen and the page you created on your razor component library works! But, first you need to be able to calculate that sha256 value for your assembly! Which at first i couldn’t figure out how, but then found this
