Out of Box Experience

[VishalMadhvani]

Would it be possible to improve the Out of Box Experience with the Visual Studio Templates?

Ideally to get this up and running, it should be as simple as creating a new website (MVC), and in the startup file adding app.UseIdentityManager(); or app.Map("/idm", _ => { _.UseIdentityManager(); });

I've managed to get this to work once, but attempting beta5, with the host project as a reference, I can't seem to figure it out.

Since this is open source and I do this in my free time, I can't do everything -- feel free to submit a PR with a template or a sample that makes this better.

[VishalMadhvani]

That was my intention @brockallen, but I cant even get it running now.
I'll wait until you've made more progress and try again.

[brockallen]

It should be able to run -- does the host sample from the main github repo work? What errors are you having?

[VishalMadhvani]

Tried working on this again tonight but wasn't having much luck again, so i thought i'd check the host project. I upgraded it to use the latest build of IdentityManager from NuGet and it broke.
Its redirecting me to /authorise which is causing a 404.

I tried adding SecurityConfiguration = new LocalhostSecurityConfiguration() to the IdentityManagerOptions incase that wasn't the default, but it didn't help.

I just downloaded the master repo from github as-is (so as to not accidentally use my dev solution) and it built and ran fine for me.

[brockallen]

Also, do you have RAMMFAR enabled?

Brock, I got yesterdays build, and the IdentityManager runs fine. Ran against both localhost and cookies
//[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(StartupWithLocalhostSecurity))]
[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(StartupWithHostCookiesSecurity))]

[brockallen]

@bruceprentice ok, thanks for the update.

[brockallen]

@VISHAL123 Ok, I discovered what's happening to you -- the request to ~/authorize is service from IdentityManager and your MVC application's routing is eating the request.

[brockallen]

Ok, now I think I know what your issue was -- you don't have RequireSsl == false. The Microsoft OAuth middleware just does nothing if that's the case. I have put in an error message to help out for others. This is now in beta5-1.

[VishalMadhvani]

Good spot @brockallen, I upgraded to beta5-3 and did indeed get the HTTPS messages.
Between that and a few wiring issues, I've got my project working with beta 5.

Now that its working, I'll have a look and see if there's anything I can do to reduce the amount of wiring needed to make this work on the default template.
