How can I set the Bearer token after authentication in Swagger UI - swagger

Question

I have a REST API service provider, written in PHP. I tested it successfully in Postman, and it works properly there.
Now I am going to prepare API documentation for it, and I am using Swagger UI 3. I set it up properly and I can process Authorization with the top Authorize button.
After a successful login, I expect the respective Bearer token being set and used by the endpoints. But this is not gonna happen, when I try any endpoint, the REST server complains about lack of Authorization Header. I tested the network traffic, and there is no token along with the HTTP request.
My question is, how can I send the Bearer token in the header in Swagger UI, after successfully login using the Authorize button on the top? Is there any steps/process I should take to accompany the endpoint request with the token?

Answer 1

I used it in a .NET core project, and in the Startup file I had to put the following code part:
services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
{
//authentication
var security = new Dictionary<string, IEnumerable<string>>
{
{"Bearer", new string[] { }},
};
options.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new ApiKeyScheme
{
In = "Header",
Description = "Please insert JWT into field",
Name = "Authorization",
Type = "apiKey"
});
options.AddSecurityRequirement(security);
}
