I want to know wheather it is a valid solution to use JWT token and the Novel AD authentication an authorization library in an ASP.NET Core 5 Web API in a Linux server? Are there any examples on it, please?
Yes you can use Novell for Authentication. For authenticating your users you can use Ldap using Novell.Directory.Ldap Package.
In .csprog file:
<PackageReference Include="Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard" Version="2.3.8" />
In the configuration:
"Ldap": {
"url": "[Ldap URL]",
"domain": "[Domain Name]"
}
Code:
using Novell.Directory.Ldap;
public bool LoginLdap(string username, string password)
{
LdapConnection connection = new LdapConnection();
var loggedIn = false;
try
{
connection.Connect(_config["Ldap:url"], LdapConnection.DEFAULT_PORT);
connection.Bind(LdapConnection.Ldap_V3, _config["Ldap:domain"] + @"\" + username, password);
loggedIn = true;
}
catch
{
loggedIn = false;
}
connection.Disconnect();
return loggedIn;
}
