I have a .NET Core 2 web app and I want to use ASP.NET Identity to authenticate my users. On .NET Core 1.x, my code was working fine.
I migrated to .NET Core 2, and authentication works when running locally in Visual Studio. But when I deploy to a live environment, authentication stops working: the authentication cookie isn't being set in production.
My Startup.cs code looks like this:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddIdentity<AppUser, RavenDB.IdentityRole>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
...
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
...
app.UseAuthentication();
}
To sign in, my code looks like this:
public async Task<ActionResult> SignIn(...)
{
var user = ...; // Load the User from the database.
await this.signInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: true);
...
}
This code works locally: the ASP.NET Identity auth cookie is set. However, when I deploy this to production enviro in Azure, the cookie never gets set.
What am I missing?
