Please explain how to install and use SecretManager with VS 2015

[freecellwiz]

I'm new to VS 2015 and the dnx/dnvm//dnu stuff. I was trying to follow a tutorial about Facebook auth (http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/security/sociallogins.html) which talked about using SecretManager. The instructions show say to run

dnu commands install SecretManager

I finally figured out where dnu lives and manually added it to my path (I don't seem to have a VS2015 command prompt), so I can run dnu, but it errors with "Unable to locate SecretManager". The next step is to run

user-secret

again, presumably from a VS command line? I also am not clear where there "global" tools are getting installed.

Any pointers are appreciated. I'm having trouble finding any meaningful documentation about how to do this.

Hi, I experienced the same problem which seems to be caused by a unresolved dependency (Unable to locate SecretManager >= 1.0.0-beta4-10173). After changing the version in C:\Users\<username>\.dnx\bin\packages\SecretManager\1.0.0-beta4\app\project.json from 1.0.0-beta4-10173 to 1.0.0-beta4 running dnu commands install SecretManager did succeed on my machine: The following commands were installed: user-secret.

Seems we are not the only ones who run into this issue: aspnet/UserSecrets#15.

With kind regards,
Stefan

Stefan -

Your steps worked for me. I manually edited the project.json file and re-ran the install with no problems. Thank you!
