Hi, I am new in Blazor and I am creating an application in Blazor Server with .NET 6. Now I need to implement JWT authentication in my project. Can anyone givem me some direction or any tutorial URL for this so that I can implement JWT authentication in my application.
A browser based application like Blazor uses cookie authentication not use JWTs. A JWT secures remote services your Blazor application calls like Web API. Are you sure you need JWT authentication? What type of clients does your application support? Can you explain the use case?
Can anyone give me some direction or any tutorial URL
Start by reading the official documentation.
Previously I implemented asp.net core Identity in my project. But the problem is when I login it generates a very big cookie and the page is not redirecting to the dashboard page due to heavyly big cookie

As AgaveJoe said, you can add the JWT Authentication for the API controller. Here are some relate threads, you can refer to them:
.NET Core 3.1 Web API and Blazor Server Side JWT Authentication
how to set identity on server side for a client on blazor server with JWT
Besides, you can also search "blazor server jwt authentication example", there have much sample online, might be they are the Asp.net core Hosted Blazor WebAssembly application, you can refer to the server project configuration.
A JWT will not solve this problem. Again, a JWT secures a remote service like Web API. Cookie authentication secures a browser based application.
You have to understand that Core Identity is used in Blazor applications all the time. There must be a bug in your code.
You should go with Identity Server 4 It's very secure and easy to intergrate with your code. It have inbuild scaffolding so you can use while creating a new project.
