How can I add the Identity.UI to my OrchardCore based application?

[MikeAlhayek]

I am trying to use OrchardCore to add multi-tenants/modular support to an asp.net core 3.1 application without the "CMS" functions.

My application uses Identity for authentication. I want to use the Identity.UI to have a complete UI around identity.

I have the following 3 projects.

1. Application.Web
2. Application.Modules.Module1
3. Application.Modules.Module2

The Application.Web is the main application and I installed OrchardCore.Application.Mvc.Targets. Also it has a reference to Application.Modules.Module1 and Application.Modules.Module2.

When I run my application everything is working as expected. But now, I need to add the Identity.UI to give the user a UI to be able to login, register and all other common identity functions.

I added Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UI to my Application.Web project which added Areas/Identity to my solution. Then I configured the Identity from Application.Web.Startup.ConfigureServices(...) like this

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddOrchardCore()
            .AddMvc()
            .WithTenants()
            .ConfigureServices((tenantServices, serviceProvider) =>
            {
                // we create an instance of the configuration
                IShellConfiguration tenantConfigs = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IShellConfiguration>();

                tenantServices.AddRazorPages();
                tenantServices.AddDbContext<ApplicationContext>(options =>
                {
                    string connectionString = tenantConfigs.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");

                    options.UseSqlServer(connectionString);
                });

                tenantServices.AddIdentity<User, UserRole>(options =>
                {
                    // TODO: this would be read from the tenantConfigs
                    options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true;
                    options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedEmail = true;
                    options.Lockout.DefaultLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
                }).AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationContext>()
                  .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

                tenantServices.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
                {
                    options.LoginPath = $"/Identity/Account/Login";
                    options.LogoutPath = $"/Identity/Account/Logout";
                    options.AccessDeniedPath = $"/Identity/Account/AccessDenied";

                    options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15);
                    options.SlidingExpiration = true;
                    options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
                });
            });
}

However, non of the identity route is working. I get white page when I got to /Identity/Account/Login. What is the trick into registering the Identity.UI correctly with OrchardCore?

Razor library is not supported See. #4247

However you care create your own module that contains Identity scaffolder using dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity and move your all files from YourModule\Areas\Idenity to YourModule

@ns8482e So razor pages are supported in the module itself but not in the main application? If that is the case, then how would I configure identity based on the tenant?

Here is how I configure services at the tenant level, but not sure how to do the same thing from the module.

services.AddOrchardCore()
        .AddMvc()
        .WithTenants()
        .ConfigureServices((tenantServices, serviceProvider) =>
        {
            // This is where I would typically add tenant based options
        });

@CrestApps Razor pages are supported.
However in OC modules are placed inside virtual area, hence Area fodder within module or app is not supported.

And you can use following to configure services in module

 services
.AddOrchardCore()
.ConfigureServices()

I finally got it to work. I moved the pages from ~/Areas/Identity/Pages to ~/Pages then added services.AddRazorPages();
