Issue adding OAuth Bearer authorization policy to ASP.Net 5 application - asp.net

Question

I am building a REST API using OAuth Bearer tokens as my method of authentication. So, I attempted to add an authorization policy so that I could do something like [Authorize("Bearer")]. However, when I go to test my new authorization policy, an exception is thrown stating
The following authentication scheme was not accepted: Bearer
I've tried multiple things in an attempt to stop this exception from being thrown, but I haven't had any luck. My Startup class can be found at https://gist.github.com/mw2nukeboy/4b6cc7d348ac60336b03.

Update: in recent betas, configuring security options from ConfigureServices is no longer possible (except for Identity). You now need to directly configure the JWT options when calling app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication():
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) {
app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(options => {
// Configure the JWT options here.
});
}
You forgot to add the OAuth2 bearer authentication middleware in your pipeline:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) {
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication();
app.UseIdentity();
app.UseMvc(routes => {
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id?}",
defaults: new {
controller = "Home",
action = "Index"
});
});
}
You're also not using the recommended approach to register the settings used by the OAuth2 bearer middleware:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
// Not recommended approach.
services.AddInstance(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions { });
// Recommended approach.
services.ConfigureOAuthBearerAuthentication(options => {
// Configure the options used by the OAuth2 bearer middleware.
});
}
