Description
It looks there are some important changes in authentication/authorization configuration in .NET 7. Here https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/pull/42802 we can read that calls to `UseAuthentication()` and `UseAuthorization()` where removed from templates. A few weeks later here https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/commit/63750b9ab756b6b86cba95c44b56e4cc9919ed0e a call to `UseAuthorization()` was added, but there is no call to `UseAuthentication()`. This strange change should be documented. I have found some discussion here https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/39855. Maybe @DamianEdwards or @captainsafia can help.
There are a lot of pages in the documentation where we can see calls to both methods. We can also read that it is important to have UseAutentication before UseAuthorization. All this information have to be verified and corrected.
