I have built a custom Identity.Models framework by simply extending the new asp.net identity framework 2.0 so that I can store the username and other relevant user data in my custom database instead of the default entity database which gets generated and it is working fine.
Now I am building a WCF service from where I would like to authenticate these users and leverage the asp.net identity 2.0 functionalities , but unable to do so.
In my WCF service I made a new Validator class extending UsernamePasswordValidator but it is not working as expected.
public class IdentityValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator
{
public override void Validate(string userName, string password)
{
using (var context = new MyIdentityDbContext())
{
using (var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context)))
{
var user = userManager.Find(userName, password);
if (user == null)
{
var msg = String.Format("Unknown Username {0} or incorrect password {1}", userName, password);
Trace.TraceWarning(msg);
throw new FaultException(msg);
}
}
}
}
}
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
