How deeply does ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e cover security requirement?

Explains scheme definition, endpoint declaration, and resulting Swagger UI behavior, but does not detail authorization policy rules.

Security requirement

As explained in ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e

An OpenAPI security requirement is a declaration specifying which security schemes are required for an API or its operations.

An OpenAPI security requirement declares which security scheme an API or its operations require. In a JWT bearer setup, it connects the documented scheme to protected requests. section 25.5

Configure authentication documentation in two steps:

Define the scheme, such as bearer authentication, OAuth 2.0, or OpenID Connect. section 25.5
Add a security requirement to declare which endpoints use that scheme; applying it to the API protects the whole API. section 25.5
Swagger UI then provides an Authorize button, stores the entered Bearer token, and attaches it to later requests in the Authorization header. section 25.5
