ServiceStack and .NET Core Middleware

Question

I wonder if it is possible to use ServiceStack on .NET core along with middleware.

My use case is that I'd like to have API implemented with ServiceStack, and use authorisation policies and openid connect middleware such as IdentityServer4.AccessTokenValidation.

If no, is there any alternative way to setup ServiceStack to work with openid connect server?

Answer 1

You can register .NET Core Middleware in the same AppHost as ServiceStack in .NET Core Apps since ServiceStack is just another middleware in the pipeline itself but ServiceStack built-in Authentication attributes and features wont be aware about any external Authentication implementations.

For a more integrated solution check out the community contributed ServiceStack.Authentication.IdentityServer which includes a ServiceStack AuthProvider for IdentityServer.
