ASP.NET Identity provider that users MongoDB for storage
ASP.NET MVC 5 shipped with a new Identity system (in the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core package) in order to support both local login and remote logins via OpenID/OAuth, but only ships with an Entity Framework provider (Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework).
- Drop-in replacement ASP.NET Identity with MongoDB as the backing store.
- Requires only 1 mongo document type, while EntityFramework requires 5 tables
- Contains the same IdentityUser class used by the EntityFramework provider in the MVC 5 project template.
- Supports additional profile properties on your application's user model.
- Provides UserStore implementation that implements the same interfaces as the EntityFramework version:
- IUserStore
- IUserLoginStore
- IUserRoleStore
- IUserClaimStore
- IUserPasswordStore
- IUserSecurityStampStore
These instructions assume you know how to set up MongoDB within an MVC application.
- Create a new ASP.NET MVC 5 project, choosing the Individual User Accounts authentication type.
- Remove the Entity Framework packages and replace with MongoDB Identity:
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
Uninstall-Package EntityFramework
Install-Package MongoDB.AspNet.Identity
- In ~/Models/IdentityModels.cs:
- Remove the namespace: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
- Add the namespace: MongoDB.AspNet.Identity
- Remove the ApplicationDbContext class completely.
- In ~/Controllers/AccountController.cs
- Remove the namespace: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
- Add the connection string name to the constructor of the UserStore. Or empty constructor will use DefaultConnection
public AccountController()
{
this.UserManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(
new UserStore<ApplicationUser>("Mongo");
}
Special thanks to David Boike whos RavenDB AspNet Identity project gave me the base for jumpstarting the MongoDB provider
