• Add middleware app.UseDummyAuthentication()
• Add Authorization header to your HTTP requests Authorization: TIMMY username

AspNetCore

• Use nuget to add dependency Install-Package Cactus.TimmyAuth
• Add service services.AddTimmyAuth() in Startup.cs ConfigureServices method
• (OPTIONAL) Use middleware app.UseTimmyAuthentication() in Startup.cs Configure method if you need multiple authentication scheme support (tested on IdentityServer4 + TIMMY)

Voi la, you are authenticated as username.

#Advanced

• In case using of RestSharp, try out Cactus.DummyAuthentication.RestSharp package that implements IAuthenticator
• Pass extra claims if need. Start your token with '!' and then add url-encoded clams: Authorization: TIMMY !role=admin&full_name=Mr%20X
