Enabling basic authentication on ASP NET Core - 404 - asp.net-core

Question

I am using this middleware as the concepts are new to me
https://github.com/blowdart/idunno.Authentication/tree/master/src/idunno.Authentication.Basic
I've implemented startup exactly as it says
However, every time I post to the WeatherForecast end point I get a 404 if the [Authorize] identifier is there. I did some reading and hence added the AuthenticationSchemes but same result
It cannot be a missing redirect, which is the other problem, as the controller is just returning content in that page?
Please can someone point me in the right direction?
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllers();
services.AddMvc();
services.AddRazorPages();
services.AddControllersWithViews();
services.AddAuthentication(BasicAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddBasic(options =>
{
//options.Realm = "idunno";
options.Events = new BasicAuthenticationEvents
{
OnValidateCredentials = context =>
{
if (context.Username == context.Password)
{
var claims = new[]
{
new Claim(
ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier,
context.Username,
ClaimValueTypes.String,
context.Options.ClaimsIssuer),
new Claim(
ClaimTypes.Name,
context.Username,
ClaimValueTypes.String,
context.Options.ClaimsIssuer)
};
context.Principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(
new ClaimsIdentity(claims, context.Scheme.Name));
context.Success();
}
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
};
});
}
Then this
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
Controller looks like this:
[Route("[controller]")]
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = idunno.Authentication.Basic.BasicAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)]
public class WeatherForecastController : ControllerBase
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionController<WeatherForecast> Get()
{
return Content("Authorised");
}
}
