ASP.net Membership Questions

Question

User-374939276 posted

I have an older project still using ASP.net Membership. 

If I were to migrate that to something newer, what would you suggest? IE: ASP.NET Identity?

(I am looking to create a new web api that will be able to use the same authentication system)

Thank you.

Hi warrenkc2,

If you want to migrate to identity, you should:

1.install necessary nuget packages for identity

2.create a  new database or new tables for identity

3.migrate the old tables(aspnet_Users , aspnet_Membership, aspnet_Roles , aspnet_UsersInRoles) for memebership to new tables for identity

4.create models and dbcontent(Entity Framework)of identity.</div> <div></div> <div>For more details , you could refer to 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/identity/overview/migrations/migrating-an-existing-website-from-sql-membership-to-aspnet-identity

and https://travis.io/blog/2015/03/24/migrate-from-aspnet-membership-to-aspnet-identity/

The links guides you how to migrate  membership to identity step by step.
