I seem to have some trouble understanding the way Identity 2.0 and cookies work. ASP.NET MVC 5.
What I want: If a user logs in and he checks the checkbox 'Remember me', I don't want him to be logged out ever.. But what happens is: the user gets logged out after a certain timespan.
The 'Remember me' functionality works if the user closes the browser before the timespan. (When he reopens the website, he's still logged in.)
This is the code I have for signing in:
public async Task<ActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
// Require the user to have confirmed their email before they can log on.
var user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(model.Email);
if (user != null)
{
if (!await UserManager.IsEmailConfirmedAsync(user.Id))
{
await SendEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user.Id);
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Gelieve eerst je e-mailadres te bevestigen.");
return View(model);
}
}
// This doesn't count login failures towards account lockout
// To enable password failures to trigger account lockout, change to shouldLockout: true
var result = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email, model.Password, model.RememberMe, shouldLockout: true);
switch (result)
{
case SignInStatus.Success:
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
case SignInStatus.LockedOut:
return View("Lockout");
case SignInStatus.Failure:
default:
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Ongeldige aanmeldpoging.");
return View(model);
}
}
And this is the code in Startup.Auth:
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
{
// Enables the application to validate the security stamp when the user logs in.
// This is a security feature which is used when you change a password or add an external login to your account.
OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<ApplicationUserManager, ApplicationUser, int>(
validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10),
regenerateIdentityCallback: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager),
getUserIdCallback: (id) => (id.GetUserId<int>()))
}
});
So I would expect the user to not be logged out after 5 minutes, because the isPersistent flag is set in the PasswordSignInAsync function.
Thanx for any help.
