Constructors

	Name	Description
	OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions()	Creates an instance of bearer authentication options with default values.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AccessTokenFormat	The data format used to un-protect the information contained in the access token. If not provided by the application the default data protection provider depends on the host server. The SystemWeb host on IIS will use ASP.NET machine key data protection, and HttpListener and other self-hosted servers will use DPAPI data protection. If a different access token provider or format is assigned, a compatible instance must be assigned to the OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions.AccessTokenProvider and OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions.AccessTokenFormat of the authorization server.
	AccessTokenProvider	Receives the bearer token the client application will be providing to web application. If not provided the token produced on the server's default data protection by using the AccessTokenFormat. If a different access token provider or format is assigned, a compatible instance must be assigned to the OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions.AccessTokenProvider and OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions.AccessTokenFormat of the authorization server.
	AuthenticationMode	If Active the authentication middleware alter the request user coming in and alter 401 Unauthorized responses going out. If Passive the authentication middleware will only provide identity and alter responses when explicitly indicated by the AuthenticationType.(Inherited from AuthenticationOptions.)
	AuthenticationType	The AuthenticationType in the options corresponds to the IIdentity AuthenticationType property. A different value may be assigned in order to use the same authentication middleware type more than once in a pipeline.(Inherited from AuthenticationOptions.)
	Challenge	Specifies the full challenge to send to the client, and should start with "Bearer". If a challenge is provided then the Realm property is ignored. If no challenge is specified then one is created using "Bearer" and the value of the Realm property.
	Description	Additional information about the authentication type which is made available to the application.(Inherited from AuthenticationOptions.)
	Provider	The object provided by the application to process events raised by the bearer authentication middleware. The application may implement the interface fully, or it may create an instance of OAuthBearerAuthenticationProvider and assign delegates only to the events it wants to process.
	Realm	Determines what realm value is included when the bearer middleware adds a response header to an unauthorized request. If not assigned, the response header does not have a realm.
	SystemClock	Used to know what the current clock time is when calculating or validating token expiration. When not assigned default is based on DateTimeOffset.UtcNow. This is typically needed only for unit testing.
