RefreshAuthService

This is the basic implementation of the OAuth 2.0 standard in ASP .Net Framework. This is my first C# project and hopefully I met all the coding standards.

As far as I know, I didn't find any direct implementation of refresh_token implementation online using the Visual Studio Web API Template with Individual Authentication

Routes

This is project is created using Visual Studio's WebAPI Template and then added refresh token grant on top of it. For creating a client:

• POST : api/client with clientId and clientSecret

You can register a user by

• POST : api/account/register with email, password and confirmPassword

For getting an access_token and refresh_token:

• POST : /token with userName(same as email), password and grant_type : password.

This should provide you with a access_token and refresh_token After that you can use the refresh_token to get new access_token by:

• POST : /token with grant_type : refresh_token and refresh_token: <YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN>

This is a very basic implementation of OAuth 2.0 Refresh Token Grants
