Admittedly, I am new to creating RESTful services. I have created a new ASP.NET Core Web API project. I have the main part of the REST service created, but I need to add authentication. For this app, I cannot use Microsoft's Identity package.

I have found a JWT Authentication article that seems to work well for me, but it's implemented as a console program--there's no information on how to wire it into a Web API project (facepalm). JWT Authentication using C#

I have done a lot of looking on the net, but I can't seem to find what I need.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
