On a developer machine, Docker Desktop or another compatible container runtime provides that environment. In this solution Docker is mainly used for: ...

In this article, we will explore ASP.NET Core 10 Security for Minimal APIs with Built-In Security Enhancements  Why ASP.NET Core Identity's Built-in API Endpoints? Starting with .NET 8, ASP.NET Core Identity ships a set of ready-made Minimal API endpoints for authentication. Instead of hand-rolling /register , /login , /refresh-token , and email-confirmation logic, you can call three simple extension methods: AddIdentityApiEndpoints<TUser>() — This registers Identity's services configured for API scenarios (no cookies/redirects, JSON responses). .AddEntityFrameworkStores<TDbContext>() — This tells Identity to persist users, roles, and tokens using Entity Framework Core. app.MapIdentityApi<TUser>() — This maps the actual HTTP routes (register, login, refresh, confirmEmail, resendConfirmationEmail, forgotPassword, resetPassword, manage/info, manage/2fa) onto your route group. Combined with Bearer tokens  instead of cookies, this offfer...
