Question

Hi,

When running the default Identity scaffolding project from VS Code, I get this error when logging-in;

VS Code DEBUG CONSOLE:

---removed for brevity---
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.WebHost:Information: Request starting HTTP/1.1 GET http://localhost:48154/

I already installed the extension MSSQL, which I'm able to fetch records and viewable within the Menu panel (toolbar).

However, running the same project from Visual Studio 2019 Community, I can login just fine with no issue.

Any VS Code extension I'm missing?

Thanks,

Hi imperialx,

 

It looks like your project missing the authentication middleware: app.UseAuthentication().

I am just guessing since you don't post any code for the configuration. Could you please share the codes in startup.cs?

You could refer to this SO link: Authorization failed for user: (null) 

  

Please be sure to call UseAuthentication() before calling UseMvc() in Startup.Configure()

Regarding the authentication middleware : please refer to Auth 2.0 Migration announcement

 

Hope this can help you.

Best regards,

Sean

Hi Sean,

I am just guessing since you don't post any code for the configuration. Could you please share the codes in startup.cs?

public class Startup
    {
        public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")),
                ServiceLifetime.Transient);

            services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>(config =>
            {
                config.User.RequireUniqueEmail = true;

                config.Password.RequireDigit = false;
                config.Password.RequiredLength = 6;
        
            })
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
            .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

            services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options =>
            {
                // Password settings
                options.Password.RequireDigit = true;
                options.Password.RequiredLength = 6;

                // Lockout settings
                options.Lockout.DefaultLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60);
                options.Lockout.AllowedForNewUsers = true;

                // User settings
                options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = true;
            });

            services.AddScoped(typeof(IRepository<>), typeof(Repository<>));
            services.AddScoped(typeof(ApplicationContext)); 
            services.AddScoped(typeof(DbContextOptions<ApplicationContext>)); 

            //register the services
            services.AddTransient<IRentACarServices, RentACarServices>();
           
            services.AddMvc();

            services.AddSingleton<IMemoryCache, MemoryCache>();
            services.AddSession();
            services.AddMemoryCache();

            services.AddAutoMapper(); 
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                //app.UseBrowserLink();
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
                app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
            }
            else
            {
                app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
            }

            app.UseAuthentication();

            app.UseStaticFiles();

            app.UseSession(new SessionOptions()
            {
                IdleTimeout = new TimeSpan(72, 0, 0) //72 = 3 days
            });

            app.UseMvc(routes =>
            {
                routes.MapRoute("PointOfAccess", "rent/point/{id}",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Rent", action = "Index" },
                    constraints: new { id = @"\d+" });
            });
        }
    }

I still have the same issue even calling UseAuthentication() before UseMVC().

Thanks,
