Storage providers for the ASP.NET 5 Identity membership system

Introduction

This repo contains storage providers for the ASP.NET 5 Identity membership system. Currently there are two:

• Filesystem
• PostgreSQL

I also intend to implement providers for:

• MySQL
• Redis

The goal is to provide functionality that just works and is suitable out-of-the-box for most scenarios.

Quality

Very alpha.

I intend to put a bit more work into this over the next week or so.

Usage

PostgreSQL

You set everything up in the ConfigureServices method of the Startup class.

Note that the relevant namespaces are:

AspNet.Identity.StorageProviders.Common;
AspNet.Identity.StorageProviders.PostgreSQL;

You must first inject an instance of the PostgreSQLDatabase class like so:

services.AddPostgreSQLDatabase(
    new PostgreSQLDatabase(connectionString));

In the future, it will be possible to customize the tables and columns used to store the identity information. For now though you can't.

When you instantiate the PostgreSQLDatabase object, the required tables will be created automatically in the database if they do not already exist:

AspNetRoleClaims
AspNetRoles
AspNetUserClaims
AspNetUserLogins
AspNetUserRoles
AspNetUsers

You may then set up ASP.NET Identity something like so:

services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>(
        options => {
            options.Password.RequireDigit = false;
            options.Password.RequiredLength = 6;
            options.Password.RequireLowercase = false;
            options.Password.RequireNonLetterOrDigit = false;
            options.Password.RequireUppercase = false;
        } )
    .AddPostgreSQLStores<PostgreSQLDatabase>()
    .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

Roadmap

1. The class structure isn't to my liking yet - this library was hurridly created largely by grabbing bits from other projects. First priority is to make these modifications.

2. Once this is in order, I'll create a MySQL provider, which will be very very similar to the PostgreSQL one.

3. Although pretty much feature complete, practically nothing has been tested, and it's certainly going to have a lot of bugs at this point. So priority 3 is to fix all these bugs.
