Overview

This project is intended for study purposes.

The API allows creating users and assigning tasks to them.
All requests - except user creation and authentication - required authentication and must include a Bearer token within the Authorization header.

Configuration

1. SQL Server container

The docker-compose.yml file uses the SA_PASSWORD environment variable, which must be set or replaced with a real value.

It is strongly recommended to use a .env file instead of hardcoding the password.

At the root of the project, create a .env file and define the SQL Server sa password:

SA_PASSWORD=your-strong-password

2. RabbitMQ container

The docker-compose.yml file uses configuration files to set up RabbitMQ.
Open the definitions.json located at ./Infra/MessageBroker/ and you'll notice it uses a password_hash value. To generate a hash for your password, run the following Docker command (replace your-secret-password with a real password)

docker run --rm rabbitmq:3.13-management rabbitmqctl hash_password your-secret-password

This command returns a hash value, which must be copied into the password_hash field in definitions.json.

3. appsettings.json

The appsettings.json in ./Api/ToDoList needs few changes in order to make the application to work.

ConnectionStrings

This is configured to use integrated security, so it must be changed to use User Id=sa;Password=... instead. Add the same SA_PASSWORD you used for creating the SQL Server container in step 1.

Authentication

Added a safety to the token by using a key, so update the Authentication.Secret adding a 32 lenght string.

MessageBroker

The Password must be the same used to set the hash_password in the step 2. This is not the hash, it is the plain password.
