Adding and Customizing Identity in ASP.NET Core

We will walk through the process of adding Identity to an existing ASP.NET Core MVC web application. We'll change Identity to use an Integer as the key column and add some custom fields to the AspNetUsers table.

Thanks for the really detailed tutorial!! This helped me a lot to make a hybrid between code first (like users in this example) and DB first (using scaffold for other tables). Thank you!

Quick heads up for anyone having troubles getting the final login bit to work. I was using Firefox during development, and somehow during this process the browsers cookies had become corrupted. No matter what I did the login/logout UI in _Layout.cshtml wouldn't show that I was logged in, even though a quick check in Chrome worked fine. Crazy as it sounds, deleting all cookies in Firefox did the trick. My guess is somehow during a full dev day the localhost:port combo this project was using decided it didn't want to accept the new cookies, and thus broke. Anyway, great tutorial, keep up the great work!

For anyone watching in 2021 and working with Blazor. You need to install the the tools extension for entity framework in the package manager before the migration schema will work. This was my first stab at Identity and this tutorial was gold. Just wanted to point out some gotchas that may pop up for those like me trying to play catch up!

im just at 13:23 an really enjoying the tutorial, i dont like to type connection string, so i found just getting visual studio to connect to my db and then copy the connection string works so much better. but anyways... so far so good.

Thank you for tutorial)
But, i don't understand how add external oauth providers login for custom user identity.
Where can I find ready-made examples for this task?

[Adam]

Hey.
Is it possible to use identity for an existing custom table with users?

[orlandoaparicio]

Hi man!... great tutorial!!!, I got a question... is it better to implement Identity from scratch or is it better to customize the scaffolded version???... I come from Laravel + php development and im struggling to understand asp.net core identity... I was thinking to not customize identity but create a one to one relationship between the default identity user and a "profile" model that can store names, id numbers, date of birth, etc... any recommendation or suggestions??? thank you very much!!!... greetings from Lima - Perú
