Hey This is probably a newbie question but I honestly can't find the problem after hours of searching for answers.
I am trying to create two roles and an admin user by seeding the database. I get no compilation errors but after running the application I couldn't login so I checked the database and noticed that the roles were created successfully but not the admin user.
Here is the class that I use for seeding:
public class Initialize
{
public static async Task InitializeAsync(ApplicationDbContext context, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
var RoleManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService < RoleManager<IdentityRole>>();
UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<UserManager<ApplicationUser>>();
string[] rolenames = { "Admin","Member"};
IdentityResult roleResult;
foreach (var roleName in rolenames) {
var roleExist = await RoleManager.RoleExistsAsync(roleName);
if (!roleExist)
{
roleResult = await RoleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole(roleName));
}
}
string username = "admin";
string email = "admin#example.com";
string password = "Secret123";
string role = "Admin";
if (await userManager.FindByEmailAsync(username) == null)
{
ApplicationUser user = new ApplicationUser
{
UserName = username,
Email = email
};
IdentityResult result = await userManager
.CreateAsync(user, password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, role);
}
}
}
}
My ConfigureServices :
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
// Add application services.
services.AddTransient<IEmailSender, EmailSender>();
services.AddMvc();
}
And Here is my Program.cs :
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var host = BuildWebHost(args);
using (var scope = host.Services.CreateScope())
{
var services = scope.ServiceProvider;
try
{
var context = services.GetRequiredService<ApplicationDbContext>();
Initialize.InitializeAsync(context, services).Wait();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
var logger = services.GetRequiredService<ILogger<Program>>();
logger.LogError(ex, "Error seeding");
}
}
host.Run();
}
Any help is appreciated :)
Try look at userManager -> Store -> Users -> Results Views -> Message after access via serviceProvider.GetRequiredService. You can have some error message about it here.
If it contains a message:
"Cannot create a DbSet for 'ApplicationUser' because this type is not
included in the model for the context."
you must changed ApplicationContext class inherit from IdentityDbContext and it should be works fine.
I am updating my question as I have made some progress.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Question:
I am using GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync to create a token outside the Controller (it's working fine), but somehow my token is longer than the ones created within the Controller using the GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync and therefore the ConfirmEmail action rejects the token. (Error: Invalid Token).
I have tried Machinekey on webconfig, HttpUtility.UrlEncode, but I am still stuck. How to sort out the Invalid Token error on Controller ConfirmEmail?
Guys, can you help me please!
Thanks.
Here is my Code:
RegisterUser (outside Controller)
public async Task RegisterUserAsync()
{
var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(db);
var UserManager = new ApplicationUserManager(store);
var query = from c in db.Customer
where !(from o in db.Users
select o.customer_pk)
.Contains(c.customer_pk)
select c;
var model = query.ToList();
if (query != null)
{
foreach (var item in model)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = item.email, Email = item.email, customerId = item.customerId};
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
string callbackUrl = await SendEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user.Id);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailMessage message = new MailMessage
{
IsBodyHtml = true
};
message.Subject = "Confirm Email";
message.To.Add(item.email1);
message.Body = "Please confirm your account by clicking here";
client.SendAsync(message, "userToken");
//Assign Role User Here
await UserManager.AddToRoleAsync(user.Id, "Client");
}
}
}
}
SendEmailConfirmation method (outside Controller)
public async Task<string> SendEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(string userID)
{
var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(db);
var UserManager = new ApplicationUserManager(store);
var url = new UrlHelper();
var provider = new DpapiDataProtectionProvider("MyApp");
UserManager.UserTokenProvider = new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>(
provider.Create("EmailConfirmation"));
string code = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(userID);
string encodedCode = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(code);
string callbackUrl = "http://localhost/Accounts/ConfirmEmail?userId=" + userID + "&code=" + encodedCode;
return callbackUrl;
}
where db is
ApplicationdDbContext db = new ApplicationdDbContext();
ConfirmEmail within the Identity Controller (Accounts Controller) - I've created Accounts instead of Account controller but it's working fine.
//
// GET: /Account/ConfirmEmail
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<ActionResult> ConfirmEmail(string userId, string code)
{
if (userId == null || code == null)
{
return View("Error");
}
var confirmed = await UserManager.IsEmailConfirmedAsync(userId);
if (confirmed)
{
return RedirectToLocal(userId);
}
var result = await UserManager.ConfirmEmailAsync(userId, code); //Here I get the error (Token Invlaid, despite the token and userId being displayed)
if (result.Succeeded)
{
ViewBag.userId = userId;
ViewBag.code = code;
}
return View(result.Succeeded ? "ConfirmEmail" : "Error");
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<ActionResult> ConfirmEmail(SetPasswordViewModel model, string userId, string code)
{
if (userId == null || code == null)
{
return View("Error");
}
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
var result = await UserManager.AddPasswordAsync(userId, model.NewPassword);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
var user = await UserManager.FindByIdAsync(userId);
if (user != null)
{
await SignInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false, rememberBrowser: false);
}
return RedirectToLocal(userId);
}
ViewBag.userId = userId;
ViewBag.code = code;
AddErrors(result);
return View(model);
}
I have worked for hours in this code but until now I can't sort it out.
Thanks for any comments or solution. The reason for this approach is that I have to use task scheduler(I'm using fluentscheduler, which is working fine).
I've looked for this in Stackoverflow and so far it appears there are plenty of questions on adding roles in Identity 1 & 2 but its different in Identity 3.
I want to seed roles in the database. I have just two. I intended to use _roleManager which I have injected into the class. Thats fine. My problem is.. there doesnt appear to be any method to actually add a role.. Using CreateAsync is for adding the user to the role.. how do you code to add a role using "_userManager" or do you have to do it another way?
EDIT
Identity
In Identity RoleManager is for creating roles and UserManager is for adding users to roles.
This is an example to point you in the right direction. The code below is for creating a new role Administrator
if (!roleManager.RoleExists("Administrator"))
{
MyIdentityRole newRole = new MyIdentityRole("Administrator", "Administrators can do something with data");
roleManager.Create(newRole);
}
EDIT
Further, this is for adding a user to a role and this also an example:
\\assuming you test if the user has been assigned to the role "Administrator" before adding them to that role
if(RoleAdministrator == true){
userManager.AddToRole(User.Id, "Administrator");
}
public class SeedData
{
private const string _adminRoleName = "admin";
private string _adminEmail = "admin#demo.com";
private string _adminPassword = "P#ssw0rd!PK";
private string[] _roles = new string[] { _adminRoleName, "supervisor" };
private readonly RoleManager<IdentityRole<Guid>> _roleManager;
private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
public static async Task Run(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
using (var serviceScope =serviceProvider
.GetRequiredService<IServiceScopeFactory>()
.CreateScope())
{
var instance = serviceScope.ServiceProvider.GetService<SeedData>();
await instance.Initialize();
var context = serviceScope.ServiceProvider.GetService<AppDbContext>();
if (!context.Products.Any())
{
// Seed Other entities Here
}
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
}
}
public SeedData(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager,
RoleManager<IdentityRole<Guid>> roleManager)
{
_roleManager = roleManager;
_userManager = userManager;
}
public async Task Initialize()
{
foreach (var role in _roles)
{
if (!await _roleManager.RoleExistsAsync(role))
{
await _roleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole<Guid>(role));
}
}
var adminUsers = await _userManager.GetUsersInRoleAsync(_adminRoleName);
if (!adminUsers.Any())
{
var adminUser = new ApplicationUser()
{
Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
Email = _adminEmail,
UserName = _adminEmail
};
var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(adminUser, _adminPassword);
if(result.Success)
{
await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(adminUser, _adminRoleName);
}
}
}
}
In your Program.cs
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var host = BuildWebHost(args);
using (var scope = host.Services.CreateScope())
{
var services = scope.ServiceProvider;
try
{
SeedData.Run(services).Wait();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
var logger = services.GetRequiredService<ILogger<Program>>();
logger.LogError(ex, "Error while seeding database.");
}
}
host.Run();
}
Might be helpful to someone :)
I'm trying to update only single property of an entity but I cannot update it.
Here is what I have done so far:
public async Task ChangePassword(string User, string Password)
{
using (var context = new abcContext())
{
var user = await context.Members.Where(c => c.UserName == User).FirstOrDefaultAsync();
var member = context.Members.Find(user.PersonID);
var coolBlog = new Member { PersonID = member.PersonID,
Password = member.Password };
context.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
context.Members.Attach(member);
context.Entry(member).Property(c => c.Password).OriginalValue = coolBlog.Password.ToString();
context.Entry(member).Property(m => m.Password).IsModified = true;
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
};
}
It is not updating password property in my database. Please guide me I have searched internet but couldn't find any appropriate solution.
You probably want this:
public async Task ChangePassword(string User, string Password)
{
using (var context = new abcContext())
{
var user = await context.Members.Where(c => c.UserName == User).FirstOrDefaultAsync();
if (user != null)
{
user.Password = Password; // do some hashing on password to not store plain password
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
}
}
}
I have been playing about with the new MVC 5, I have a few models, controller and views setup using code first migrations.
My question is how do I seed users and roles? I currently seed some reference data in my Seed method in Configuration.cs. But it looks to me that the user and roles tables are not created until something first hits the AccountController.
I currently have two connection strings so I can separate my data from my authentication into different databases.
How can I get the user, roles, etc tables populate along with my others? And not when the account controller is hit?
Here is example of usual Seed approach:
protected override void Seed(SecurityModule.DataContexts.IdentityDb context)
{
if (!context.Roles.Any(r => r.Name == "AppAdmin"))
{
var store = new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context);
var manager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(store);
var role = new IdentityRole { Name = "AppAdmin" };
manager.Create(role);
}
if (!context.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "founder"))
{
var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(store);
var user = new ApplicationUser {UserName = "founder"};
manager.Create(user, "ChangeItAsap!");
manager.AddToRole(user.Id, "AppAdmin");
}
}
I used package-manager "update-database". DB and all tables were created and seeded with data.
It's a small addition, but to anyone having the "UserId not found." message when trying to seed: (Tom Regan had this question in the comments, and I was stuck on it myself for a while)
This means that the manager.Create(user, "ChangeItAsap!") was not successful.
This might have a different reason, but for me it was because my password was not succeeding its validation.
I had a custom passwordvalidator, which was not being called when seeding the database, so the validation rules i was used to (minlength 4 instead of default 6) did not apply. Make sure your password (and all other fields for that matter) is passing validation.
This is my method base on Valin answer, I have added roles in db and added password for user. This code is placed in Seed() method in Migrations>Configurations.cs.
// role (Const.getRoles() return string[] whit all roles)
var RoleManager = new RoleManager<IdentityRole>(new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context));
for (int i = 0; i < Const.getRoles().Length; i++)
{
if (RoleManager.RoleExists(Const.getRoles()[i]) == false)
{
RoleManager.Create(new IdentityRole(Const.getRoles()[i]));
}
}
// user
var UserManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context));
var PasswordHash = new PasswordHasher();
if (!context.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "admin#admin.net"))
{
var user = new ApplicationUser
{
UserName = "admin#admin.net",
Email = "admin#admin.net",
PasswordHash = PasswordHash.HashPassword("123456")
};
UserManager.Create(user);
UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, Const.getRoles()[0]);
}
Here i have an very easy,clean and smooth solution.
protected override void Seed(UserContext context)
{
//Step 1 Create the user.
var passwordHasher = new PasswordHasher();
var user = new IdentityUser("Administrator");
user.PasswordHash = passwordHasher.HashPassword("Admin12345");
user.SecurityStamp = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//Step 2 Create and add the new Role.
var roleToChoose = new IdentityRole("Admin");
context.Roles.Add(roleToChoose);
//Step 3 Create a role for a user
var role = new IdentityUserRole();
role.RoleId = roleToChoose.Id;
role.UserId = user.Id;
//Step 4 Add the role row and add the user to DB)
user.Roles.Add(role);
context.Users.Add(user);
}
protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
SeedAsync(context).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}
private async Task SeedAsync(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
var userManager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, int, ApplicationUserLogin, ApplicationUserRole, ApplicationUserClaim>(context));
var roleManager = new ApplicationRoleManager(new RoleStore<ApplicationRole, int, ApplicationUserRole>(context));
if (!roleManager.Roles.Any())
{
await roleManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationRole { Name = ApplicationRole.AdminRoleName });
await roleManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationRole { Name = ApplicationRole.AffiliateRoleName });
}
if (!userManager.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "shimmy"))
{
var user = new ApplicationUser
{
UserName = "shimmy",
Email = "shimmy#gmail.com",
EmailConfirmed = true,
PhoneNumber = "0123456789",
PhoneNumberConfirmed = true
};
await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "****");
await userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user.Id, ApplicationRole.AdminRoleName);
}
}
Looks like they changes the way authentication works in MVC5, changed my Global.asax.cs to the following did the trick!
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Optimization;
using System.Web.Routing;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using MvcAuth.Models;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;
namespace MvcAuth
{
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
async Task<bool> AddRoleAndUser()
{
AuthenticationIdentityManager IdentityManager = new AuthenticationIdentityManager(
new IdentityStore(new ApplicationDbContext()));
var role = new Role("Role1");
IdentityResult result = await IdentityManager.Roles.CreateRoleAsync(role, CancellationToken.None);
if (result.Success == false)
return false;
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = "user1" };
result = await IdentityManager.Users.CreateLocalUserAsync(user, "Password1");
if (result.Success == false)
return false;
result = await IdentityManager.Roles.AddUserToRoleAsync(user.Id, role.Id, CancellationToken.None);
return result.Success;
}
protected async void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
bool x = await AddRoleAndUser();
}
}
}
write this code in your Migration Configuration.
note: Use ApplicationDbContext in Configuration Class.
internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<ApplicationDbContext>
{
public Configuration()
{
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = false;
}
protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
// This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.
// You can use the DbSet<T>.AddOrUpdate() helper extension method
// to avoid creating duplicate seed data.
context.Roles.AddOrUpdate(p =>
p.Id,
new IdentityRole { Name = "Admins"},
new IdentityRole { Name = "PowerUsers" },
new IdentityRole { Name = "Users" },
new IdentityRole { Name = "Anonymous" }
);
}
}
