AspnetIdentitySample

Running this sample

• This sample uses the Nightly builds of ASP.NET Identity. Please refer to this article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2013/10/09/asp-net-identity-nuget-packages-for-the-nightly-builds-are-available-on-myget.aspx for configuring the Nightly feed and installing Nightly packages of ASP.NET Identity

Following are the features of ASP.NET Identity in this sample

• Initialize ASP.NET Identity You can initialize ASP.NET Identity when the application starts. Since ASP.NET Identity is Entity Framework based in this sample, you can create DatabaseInitializer which is configured to get called each time the app starts. Please look in Global.asax and App_Start\IdentityConfig.cs This code shows the following
  • Create user
  • Create user with password
  • Create Roles
  • Add Users to Roles
• Add profile data for the user Please follow this tutorial.
• Display profile data for the user Click Profile view profile info for the logged in user. For the code look in HomeController.cs Profile Action
• Customize Table Name for AspNetUsers If you want to change the default table name for the Users table, then you can do so by overriding the default mapping of the EF Code First types to table names. Look in Models\AppModel.cs on how we override the table name in ModelCreating event of DbContext For more info on override ModelCreating please visit
• Register a user, Login Click Register and see the code in AccountController.cs and Register Action. Click Login and see the code in AccountController.cs and Login Action.
• Basic Role Management Do Create, Update, List and Delete Roles. Only Users In Role Admin can access this page. This uses the [Authorize] on the controller.
• Basic User Management Do Create, Update, List and Delete Users. Assign a Role to a User. Only Users In Role Admin can access this page. This uses the [Authorize] on the controller.
• Associating ToDoes with User This example shows how you can create a ToDo application where you can associate ToDoes with a User. Following are the salient features of this sample.
  • Create ToDo model and associate User in EF Code First. Goto Models\AppModel.cs
  • Only Authenticated Users can Create ToDo
  • When you create/list ToDo, we can filter by User. Look at ToDoController
  • Only Users in Role Admin can see all ToDoes. Look at ToDoController and All action.
