Identity in ASP.Net Core 2.1< - Customize AccountController

C#asp.netasp.net Coreasp.net Core-2.0asp.net Core-2.1

C# Problem Overview

I have installed ASP.NET Core 2.1 but even though I have created a new ASP.NET Core Web Application using ASP.NET Core 2.1 with Individual User Accounts → Store user accounts in-app I can't find the AccountController or Views.

I can still register and login without a problem but I can't find the code for it, it were present in 2.0.

C# Solutions

Solution 1 - C#

ASP.NET Core 2.1 introduced new feature called Razor class libraries that lets you build views and pages as part of reusable library. ASP.NET Core Identity was moved to such RCL. You can override it in your project:

  1. From Solution Explorer, right-click on the project > Add > New Scaffolded Item.
  2. From the left pane of the Add Scaffold dialog, select Identity > ADD.
  3. In the ADD Identity dialog, choose files you wish to override.
  4. Select layout if necessary
  5. Select or create Data context class.
  6. Hit ADD.

Solution 2 - C#

One of the changes in 2.1 was Razor Class Libraries and the default identity lives in one of these in the individual auth templates. If you would like to have the code in your app so you can customise it, you can scaffold it out with Visual Studio, or with the global scaffolder tool. See this guide on how to do both.

Solution 3 - C#

My solution is create project with .net core 2.0, and then update the framework to 2.1 and all the dependence to latest version

Solution 4 - C#

Turns out ASP.NET Core Identity is now available as a prebuilt package called Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UI.

You can read more about it here:

Solution 5 - C#

Since ASP.NET Core 2.1 the identity UI is shipped as a library.

But you can override the views and controllers by placing them at the right locations (e.g. View/Account/Login.cshtml).

Solution 6 - C#

As far as I am aware, the AccountController code has been moved to Razor pages (and their code behinds) and works best using defaults so to customise the code you can Scaffold (ie create the files in the right place) from a brand new Net Core 2.1 project by right-clicking the Project in Visual Studio 2017 and seleting Add => New Scaffolded Item => Identity which opens a Select Dialog. Choose desired pages and there you go. Just change the pages you want and copy to same place in an Identity enabled project as these new pages automatically override the defaults. This is the new way to customize authentication/authorization using Identity not sure whether many consider this significant progress!
