Defining API Scope In appsettings.json

The AddInMemoryApiResource extension method also supports adding clients from the ASP.NET Core configuration file:

{
  "IdentityServer": {
    "IssuerUri": "urn:sso.company.com",
    "ApiScopes": [
      {
        "Name": "IdentityServerApi"
      },
      {
        "Name": "resource1.scope1"
      },
      {
        "Name": "resource2.scope1"
      },
      {
        "Name": "scope3"
      },
      {
        "Name": "shared.scope"
      },
      {
        "Name": "transaction",
        "DisplayName": "Transaction",
        "Description": "A transaction"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Then pass the configuration section to the AddInMemoryApiScopes method:

Program.cs

idsvrBuilder.AddInMemoryApiScopes(configuration.GetSection("IdentityServer:ApiScopes"))
