Extend ClaimsPrincipal and ClaimsIdentity classes in MVC-6
I've been trying to figure this out for a few days, but I have to ask you guys (again).
As the title says, I would like to implement my custom ClaimsPrincipal and ClaimsIdentity so that I can add some more properties to my Identity instance.
I did this earlier in MVC-5 using Global.asax.cs and an inherited BaseController. In MVC-6 it seems that startup.cs will be the entry point for this, but I cannot figure it out.
These are my two classes:
public class BaseIdentity : ClaimsIdentity
{
public Guid UserId { get; set; }
public Guid OrgId { get; set; }
public string OrgName { get; set; }
public BaseIdentity()
{
}
}
AND..
public class BasePrincipal : ClaimsPrincipal
{
private readonly BaseIdentity _identity;
public BasePrincipal(BaseIdentity identity)
{
_identity = identity;
}
public new BaseIdentity Identity
{
get { return _identity; }
}
}
How can I use these classes instead of the default when creating / retrieving Auth cookies?
There is a method called IApplicationBuilder.UseClaimsTransformation()
but can't find any documentation on how to use it - if it's even for this scenario?
Help rate at this moment! :)
BTW: I would like to point out that I asked a similar question a week ago when I first encountered this problem. I got a response, but this is what I really need to fix in order for my site to be usable on MVC-6.
