Bearer authentication in Swagger UI, when migrating to Swashbuckle.AspNetCore version 5

Got this working in the end by trial and error. This is the code that works for me:

c.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
{
    Description =
        "JWT Authorization header using the Bearer scheme. \r\n\r\n Enter 'Bearer' [space] and then your token in the text input below.\r\n\r\nExample: \"Bearer 12345abcdef\"",
    Name = "Authorization",
    In = ParameterLocation.Header,
    Type = SecuritySchemeType.ApiKey,
    Scheme = "Bearer"
});

c.AddSecurityRequirement(new OpenApiSecurityRequirement()
{
    {
        new OpenApiSecurityScheme
        {
            Reference = new OpenApiReference
            {
                Type = ReferenceType.SecurityScheme,
                Id = "Bearer"
            },
            Scheme = "oauth2",
            Name = "Bearer",
            In = ParameterLocation.Header,

        },
        new List<string>()
    }
});

I suspect there are probably properties being set there that don’t actually need to be explicitly set, but the above is working for me.
