Setting up a AspNet Website with custom user class and all user management pages

Step through on how to get a site started with individual authentication setup and ready to be extended.

1. Create site using template
   • Use individual authentication
   • Use localdb

    dotnet new webapp --auth Individual -uld -o {SiteName}
   

2. Create custom identity user
   • Create new user class

      public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser<Guid>
      {
      }
     

   • Update context to use class

      public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole<Guid>, Guid>
     

   • Update Views/Shared/_LoginPartial.cshtml to use new class

      @inject SignInManager<ApplicationUser> SignInManager
      @inject UserManager<ApplicationUser> UserManager
     

   • Update service setup

      builder.Services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = false)
     

   • Remove initial migration: dotnet ef migrations remove
   • Add initial migration: dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
3. Scaffold Identity pages
   • Install/Update scaffold template: dotnet tool install -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator
   • Install/Update ef tools: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
   • Add nuget packages:

      dotnet add package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design
      dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
      dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore
      dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UI
      dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
      dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
     

   • Scaffold all the identity pages

      dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -dc WebAuth.Data.ApplicationDbContext  --files "Account._StatusMessage;Account.AccessDenied;Account.ConfirmEmail;Account.ConfirmEmailChange;Account.ExternalLogin;Account.ForgotPassword;Account.ForgotPasswordConfirmation;Account.Lockout;Account.Login;Account.LoginWith2fa;Account.LoginWithRecoveryCode;Account.Logout;Account.Manage._Layout;Account.Manage._ManageNav;Account.Manage._StatusMessage;Account.Manage.ChangePassword;Account.Manage.DeletePersonalData;Account.Manage.Disable2fa;Account.Manage.DownloadPersonalData;Account.Manage.Email;Account.Manage.EnableAuthenticator;Account.Manage.ExternalLogins;Account.Manage.GenerateRecoveryCodes;Account.Manage.Index;Account.Manage.PersonalData;Account.Manage.ResetAuthenticator;Account.Manage.SetPassword;Account.Manage.ShowRecoveryCodes;Account.Manage.TwoFactorAuthentication;Account.Register;Account.RegisterConfirmation;Account.ResendEmailConfirmation;Account.ResetPassword;Account.ResetPasswordConfirmation;"
     

4. Apply migrations
   • Apply Migrations: dotnet ef database update
