Implementing Identity Auth in an existing Asp.Net MVC project
1.- The default ASP.Net MVC project template from Visual Studio contains the complete implementation for this, create an example project.
2.- Copy the implementation of the following classes:
App_Start folder - IdentityConfig.cs
App_Start folder - Startup.Auth.cs
Models- AccountViewModel.cs
Models- IdentityModels.cs
Root Folder: Startup.cs
3.- Verify the installation and update the references for the following Nuget packages:
Microsoft.Owin
Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies
Microsoft.Owin.Security.Oauth
Microsoft.Owin.Security
4.- The connection string configuration from the web.config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-ExampleMVC-20160724094734.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-ExampleMVC-20160724094734;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Modify to suit your database environment.
5.- With all the steps followed you should be able to use the Identity API in a new project the same way it works in the default template.
