Identity Management in MVC 6 - asp.net-mvc

I have switched an MVC 5 project to MVC 6 and having some issues with the Identity Management.
As part of the sign-up process, the user selects a role which is saved in a UserRoles table using ApplicationUserManager.
In the MVC 5 version, the code in my AccoutnControler is
public ApplicationUserManager UserManager {
get
{
return _userManager ?? HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();
}
private set
{
_userManager = value;
}
}
later on the in controller...
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email, IsRegComplete = true};
IdentityResult result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, model.Role);
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
if (model.Role == "Owner")
{
return RedirectToAction("Create", "Owners");
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Create", "ServiceCompanies");
}
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
As there is no IdentityConfig.cs in MVC 6 where does the ApplicationUserManager go or what replaces it to allow me to AddToRole()?
Cheers,
Kevin.

I have not been using identity in MVC6 yet, but there are some articles in the documentation that might help you.

UserManager.FindByNameAsync slow in ASP.NET MVC

I have a site based on ASP.NET MVC framework. Although i am using async method to login the user, i have found that it takes forever to get user logged in into the site. I have used Visual Studio's diagnostic tools and found that this line takes most of the time during the code execution.
var user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(model.Email);
Full Code:
public async Task<ActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
var user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(model.Email);
if (user != null)
{
var getPasswordResult = UserManager.CheckPassword(user, model.Password);
if (getPasswordResult)
{
AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
var identity = await UserManager.CreateIdentityAsync(
user, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = model.RememberMe }, identity);
if (model.RememberMe == true)
{
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UsersLogin");
cookie.Values.Add("UserName", model.Email);
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(15);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
return RedirectToAction("NavigateAuthUser", "Home", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl });
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid login attempt.");
return View(model);
}
}
return new EmptyResult();
}
Any suggestion to improve the performance?
Thanks

For workaround I use:
_db.Users.First(x => x.UserName == User.Identity.Name);
But I'm sure this is not the best way
Develop my own method FindByEmail, this way I greatly improve the perfomance
public AspNetUsers FindByEmail(string Email)
{
try
{
var _modelo = new SIGMAEntities();
return _modelo.AspNetUsers.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email.Trim().ToLower() == Email);
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}

C# MVC ASP.NET Identity - Dynamically change ApplicationDbContext connection string during runtime

I have 3 databases, one GlobalDb is used to manage and redirect users the correct database based on login details.
The other 2 databases are different to the GlobalDb but are the the same as each other.
Lets call these 2 databases Company1 and Company2.
GlobalDb does not require the identity framework so it is just being connected to by using standard EntityFramework connections, the other 2 do required the Identity framework.
3 connection strings are saved in the web.config.
I can query all databases bases correctly, and they all return data.
The main issue i am having is on login, how do i tell the SignInManager which connection string for the database to use?
IdentityModels.cs
public class CompanyDb : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public CompanyDb(string CompanyName)
: base(CompanyName, throwIfV1Schema: false)
{
}
public static CompanyDb Create(string CompanyName)
{
return new CompanyDb(CompanyName);
}
// Virtual class and table mappings go here.
}
AccountController Login
public async Task<ActionResult> CustomLogin(string Email, string Password, string returnUrl)
{
GlobalDb Global = new GlobalDb();
// check what company the user belongs to based on email.
var CompanyName = Global.Users.Where(u => u.Email == Email && u.Active == true).Select(u => u.Company).FirstOrDefault();
// Connect to the desired database to get test data.
CompanyDb Company = new CompanyDb(CompanyName);
var DataTest = Company.Users.ToList();
if (CompanyName != null)
{
var result = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(Email, Password, false, shouldLockout: false); // <-- How to connect to the correct DB?
switch (result)
{
case SignInStatus.Success:
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
case SignInStatus.LockedOut:
return View("Lockout");
case SignInStatus.RequiresVerification:
return RedirectToAction("SendCode", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl, RememberMe = false });
case SignInStatus.Failure:
default:
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid login attempt.");
return View("");
}
}
return View("");
}
I keep getting a null value in the following file and function
IdentityModel.cs
// You can add profile data for the user by adding more properties to your ApplicationUser class, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=317594 to learn more.
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}
}
Ive Figured it out.
On my login action if just wrapped the SignInManager within a Context Using statement as follows.
public async Task<ActionResult> CustomLogin(string Email, string Password, string returnUrl)
{
GlobalDb Global = new GlobalDb();
// check what company the user belongs to based on email.
var CompanyName = Global.Users.Where(u => u.Email == Email && u.Active == true).Select(u => u.Company).FirstOrDefault();
if (CompanyName != null)
{
using (CompanyDb db = new CompanyDb(CompanyName))
{
var result = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(Email, Password, false, shouldLockout: false); // <-- How to connect to the correct DB?
switch (result)
{
case SignInStatus.Success:
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
case SignInStatus.LockedOut:
return View("Lockout");
case SignInStatus.RequiresVerification:
return RedirectToAction("SendCode", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl, RememberMe = false });
case SignInStatus.Failure:
default:
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid login attempt.");
return View("");
}
}
}
return View("");
}

ASP.NET MVC Database not being created/uploaded System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

Background
I have just created an MVC website (as an application) using Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web from the default MVC template using the "Individual user accounts" option. I have created views to fit and added two fields ("Username" and "Birthdate") to the accounts model (using the tutorials by Microsoft). Note: Everything works fine when running on localhost from visual studio.
The Problem
When I upload the site to my server, I get a file not found error (I think it is the accounts database that is not being found). When I upload it (I am doing this via the file system method), there is nothing in the AppData folder but there isn't in VS either, it's in the server explorer. If I try to do anything with the accounts on the live server (eg. register a user), I get the following stack trace.
The Stack Trace
Note: You can see this for yourself at spiderhouse.org if you register a user; I have left the full error details available and in it's current state (at the time of writing) no info will be saved.

This first line of the exception you mentioned i would get is saying that you don't have SQL express installed on the prod server.
SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 52 - Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.)
Obviously you will need to have that installed in order for your app to work on the server with the .mdf file that you put out. I'm assuming that when you say you "see nothing in the App_Data folder but you do in the server explorer" you are looking through the Visual Studio Solution Explorer into the App_Data folder, correct? If this is true, I also didn't see anything there, but physically going to the directory in file explorer showed the .mdf and .ldf files that the mvc site created. If you do have SQL Express installed on the server, maybe you forgot to put these files in the correct location on the web server.
In my project I opted to use a remote installation of SQL Server full, in which case I needed to change where the connection string was pointing, but because you included that in the information on your post I think you know that.

I can login only when user's UserName is exacly the same Email in database

I created fresh ASP .NET MVC 5 web application with individual accounts(default template). When I create user if I give him different UserName and Email I cannot login. If Email and UserName are the same I can login.
I used default template. What I need change to let UserName and Email be different?
Put in other words: The problem is that I can login only the user which have UserName and Email properties equal.
Put in other other words: There are two users, one have: Email:mailbox#gmail.com, UserName:mailbox#gmail.com I can login as this user. Second user Email:mailbox#gmail.com, UserName:SOMETHING I cannot log as this user.

The problem is actually very simple and quite reproducible. It looks like the guys at Microsoft took a shortcut and assumed that everyone would always want their email address to be their username. In my case I had a strict requirement where the user name cannot be an email address.
I was able to make the changes necessary to use both fields as truly intended, but when I tried to log in using the scaffolded/provided/out-of-the-box /Manage/Login.cshtml view it absolutely forced me to use an email address as the user name. This is not the intended behavior because even the under the covers method specifies "username" as the parameter. I don't have this problem when I use my own view/processing to log into the application. And yes, my stuff goes through the same (and official) SignInManger.
The validation happening on the client side is what was forcing us to use an email address field value. This doesn't appear to be exposed anywhere that is configurable... and it took me the LONGEST time to find it. I actually felt pretty stupid for about 5 minutes.
The solution (for my scenario) was to...
Open the /Models/AccountViewModels.cs file.
Navigate to the LoginViewModel class.
On the Email property remove (or comment out) the [EmailAddress] decorator Attribute.
Modify the Display decorator Attribute (specifically, the Name property) to something appropriate -- fyi, this is what will be shown in the #Html.LabelFor() and validation messages as well.
Clear out the browser cache for that site. You can try a hard refresh, but YMMV depending on your browser.
Give it a whirl
In my case, problem solved. I hope this helps (even though it's nearly a year later)!
If you look closely into the generated code you will find the LogIn method:
//
// POST: /Account/Login
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl) {
if (ModelState.IsValid) {
var user = await UserManager.FindAsync(model.Email, model.Password);
if (user != null) {
await SignInAsync(user, model.RememberMe);
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
} else {
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid username or password.");
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
Here you see that the user is being found by using his email address - that is why u have to login using the Email. If you want to change the behaviour - simply modify the LoginViewModel class and the login View.
Take a look at what you're doing in your Register action:
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };
When a user registers, they supply a username and an email. But you're ignoring the username and using the email for both values. I imagine this would be highly unintuitive for users registering in your application.
Try using the username value as the username value:
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName, Email = model.Email };
Asp.Net Identity uses username and password to authenticate if you want to login with either username or password check if email is supplied then use the userManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.Email); to retrieve corresponding username and login check my login code below

ASP.NET MVC 5 how to delete a user and its related data in Identity 2.0

I'm following this article to delete a user in Identity 2.0
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/introduction/examining-the-details-and-delete-methods
However, I need to delete all related records in AspNetUserRoles first and then delete the user.
I found an example which is written in Identity 1.0 and some of methods used inside this example don't exist.
// POST: /Users/Delete/5
[HttpPost, ActionName("Delete")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> DeleteConfirmed(string id)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
var user = await context.Users.FindAsync(id);
var logins = user.Logins;
foreach (var login in logins)
{
context.UserLogins.Remove(login);
}
var rolesForUser = await IdentityManager.Roles.GetRolesForUserAsync(id, CancellationToken.None);
if (rolesForUser.Count() > 0)
{
foreach (var item in rolesForUser)
{
var result = await IdentityManager.Roles.RemoveUserFromRoleAsync(user.Id, item.Id, CancellationToken.None);
}
}
context.Users.Remove(user);
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
else
{
return View();
}
}
I cannot find IdentityManager from anywhere, and context.Users doesn't have FindAsync() method either.
How can I properly delete a User and its related records in Identity 2.0?
I think the classes you're looking for are the UserManager and the RoleManager. In my opinion they are the better way instead of going against the context directly.
The UserManager defines a method RemoveFromRoleAsync which gives you the ability to remove the user (identified by his key) from a given role. It also defines several Find methods, such as FindAsync, FindByIdAsync, FindByNameAsync, or FindByEmailAsync. They all can be used to retrieve a user. To delete a user you should use the DeleteAsync method which accepts a user object as a parameter. To get the roles a user is member of Identity gives you the GetRolesAsync method where you pass in the ID of the user. Also I see that you're trying to remove a login from a user. For this purpose you should use the RemoveLoginAsync method.
All in all your code would look similar to the following one:
// POST: /Users/Delete/5
[HttpPost, ActionName("Delete")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> DeleteConfirmed(string id)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
var user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(id);
var logins = user.Logins;
var rolesForUser = await _userManager.GetRolesAsync(id);
using (var transaction = context.Database.BeginTransaction())
{
foreach (var login in logins.ToList())
{
await _userManager.RemoveLoginAsync(login.UserId, new UserLoginInfo(login.LoginProvider, login.ProviderKey));
}
if (rolesForUser.Count() > 0)
{
foreach (var item in rolesForUser.ToList())
{
// item should be the name of the role
var result = await _userManager.RemoveFromRoleAsync(user.Id, item);
}
}
await _userManager.DeleteAsync(user);
transaction.Commit();
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
else
{
return View();
}
}
You'll need to adjust this snippet to your needs, because I don't have an idea how your IdentityUser implementation looks like. Remember to declare the UserManager as needed. An example how you could do this can be found when you create a new project in Visual Studio using Individual Accounts.
Update for ASP.NET Core 2.0 - hope this saves someone a bit of time
ApplicationDbContext context,
UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager,
ApplicationUser user
var logins = await userManager.GetLoginsAsync(user);
var rolesForUser = await userManager.GetRolesAsync(user);
using (var transaction = context.Database.BeginTransaction())
{
IdentityResult result = IdentityResult.Success;
foreach (var login in logins)
{
result = await userManager.RemoveLoginAsync(user, login.LoginProvider, login.ProviderKey);
if (result != IdentityResult.Success)
break;
}
if (result == IdentityResult.Success)
{
foreach (var item in rolesForUser)
{
result = await userManager.RemoveFromRoleAsync(user, item);
if (result != IdentityResult.Success)
break;
}
}
if (result == IdentityResult.Success)
{
result = await userManager.DeleteAsync(user);
if (result == IdentityResult.Success)
transaction.Commit(); //only commit if user and all his logins/roles have been deleted
}
}
Brad's point about requiring #Html.AntiForgeryToken() in views is not necessary if you are using latest versions of ASP.NET - see AntiForgeryToken still required
Why not create a SQL trigger for AspNetUsers so deleting a user also deletes the corresponding records for user from AspNetUserRoles and AspNetUserLogins?
I need to invoke DeleteUser from a number of places so I added a static method to AccountController (see below). I'm still learning about MVC, so should be grateful for comments, in particular 1) use of IdentityResult as a return code 2) wisdom of extending AccountController in this way 3) approach for putting password (cleartext) into the Model to validate the action (see sample invocation).
public static async Task<IdentityResult> DeleteUserAccount(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager,
string userEmail, ApplicationDbContext context)
{
IdentityResult rc = new IdentityResult();
if ((userManager != null) && (userEmail != null) && (context != null) )
{
var user = await userManager.FindByEmailAsync(userEmail);
var logins = user.Logins;
var rolesForUser = await userManager.GetRolesAsync(user);
using (var transaction = context.Database.BeginTransaction())
{
foreach (var login in logins.ToList())
{
await userManager.RemoveLoginAsync(user, login.LoginProvider, login.ProviderKey);
}
if (rolesForUser.Count() > 0)
{
foreach (var item in rolesForUser.ToList())
{
// item should be the name of the role
var result = await userManager.RemoveFromRoleAsync(user, item);
}
}
rc = await userManager.DeleteAsync(user);
transaction.Commit();
}
}
return rc;
}
Sample invocation - form passes the user's password (cleartext) in Model:
// POST: /Manage/DeleteUser
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> DeleteUser(DeleteUserViewModel account)
{
var user = await GetCurrentUserAsync();
if ((user != null) && (user.PasswordHash != null) && (account != null) && (account.Password != null))
{
var hasher = new Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.PasswordHasher<ApplicationUser>();
if(hasher.VerifyHashedPassword(user,user.PasswordHash, account.Password) != PasswordVerificationResult.Failed)
{
IdentityResult rc = await AccountController.DeleteUserAccount( _userManager, user.Email, _Dbcontext);
if (rc.Succeeded)
{
await _signInManager.SignOutAsync();
_logger.LogInformation(4, "User logged out.");
return RedirectToAction(nameof(HomeController.Index), "Home");
}
}
}
return View(account);
}
I was looking also for the answer but finally this is what work well for me, even its old post but it may help for someone.
// GET: Users/Delete/5
public ActionResult Delete(string id)
{
using (SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
sqlCon.Open();
string query = "DELETE FROM AspNetUsers WHERE Id = #Id";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(query, sqlCon);
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Id", id);
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
// POST: Users/Delete/5
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Delete(string id, FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add delete logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
