Identity on ASP.NET Core

Identity on ASP.NET Core

• What is it?
• Where is it initialized in RoverCore?
• Customizing ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole
• UserManager Service - Give a few snippets of things you can do with it -- For our purposes we will be using UserManager
• SignInManager Service - Give a few snippets of things you can do with it -- For our purposes we will be using SignInManager

In my own words: Identity on ASP.net is a system that allows users to add functionalities via a login system. This means a user can create an account/login with a username and password. Some good examples are Google, Twitter, and Facebook accounts.

This should be expanded to 2 to 3 typed pages. Leave out mentioning "in my own words". This lacks a ton of detail and is generally unhelpful at the moment.

I understand that, just starting discussions on the issue page as the prompt said.

Hi

Just so you guys know, the UserManager and SigninManager are services that are available through dependency injection. Since we customized the user for Rovercore, you can use:

UserManager as the user manager service and SignInManager as the signin manager service

Both services can be then referenced in the constructor of any controller if you need them. . for example:

    private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
    private readonly SignInManager<ApplicationUser> _signInManager;

    public AccountController(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager, SignInManager<ApplicationUser> signInManager)
    {
        _userManager = userManager;
        _signInManager = signInManager;
    }
