MongoDB Indexes

Important note!

Starting from v9.0.0 we no longer apply indexes on "Users" collection. Main reason for this change that
you are unable to change default indexes. If you delete index, it will appear again;
if you delete index and re-create it with different options, application won't start due to error.
You most likely have other indexes of your own, and now you have 2 places where they managed.
So it's up to user to decide which indexes should be used (if any), how and where manage them.

Here the old indexes in case someone needs them (collection name could be different):

db.Users.createIndex({ "NormalizedEmail" : 1 })
db.Users.createIndex({ "NormalizedUserName" : 1 })

How to use:

AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo is installed from NuGet:

Install-Package AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo

The simplest way to set up:

csharp
using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo; using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo.Model; // At the ConfigureServices section in Startup.cs services.AddIdentityMongoDbProvider<MongoUser>();

With Identity and Mongo options:

csharp
using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo; using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo.Model; // At the ConfigureServices section in Startup.cs services.AddIdentityMongoDbProvider<MongoUser>(identity => { identity.Password.RequiredLength = 8; // other options } , mongo => { mongo.ConnectionString = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/identity"; // other options });

Using User and Role models:

csharp
using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo; using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo.Model; // At the ConfigureServices section in Startup.cs services.AddIdentityMongoDbProvider<MongoUser, MongoRole>(identity => { identity.Password.RequiredLength = 8; // other options }, mongo => { mongo.ConnectionString = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/identity"; // other options });

Using different type of the primary key (default is MongoDB.Bson.ObjectId):

csharp
using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo; using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo.Model; public class ApplicationUser : MongoUser<string> { } public class ApplicationRole : MongoRole<string> { } // At the ConfigureServices section in Startup.cs services.AddIdentityMongoDbProvider<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, string>(identity => { identity.Password.RequiredLength = 8; // other options }, mongo => { mongo.ConnectionString = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/identity"; // other options });

To add the stores only, use:

csharp
using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo; using AspNetCore.Identity.Mongo.Model; // At the ConfigureServices section in Startup.cs services .AddIdentityCore<MongoUser>() .AddRoles<MongoRole>() .AddMongoDbStores<MongoUser, MongoRole, ObjectId>(mongo => { mongo.ConnectionString = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/identity"; // other options }) .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

Migration from lower versions
