How to add MVC 5 authentication to Unity IoC?

Question

I'm currently working on implementing the new ASP.NET MVC 5 out-of-the box authentication into my application. However when using Unity as my IoC, I cannot use any portion of the AccountController because I'm given the error:

The type IUserStore`1 does not have an accessible constructor.

This is my given unity setup which is called in the global.asax

public class DependencyConfig {     public static void Initialise()     {         var container = BuildUnityContainer();          DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new UnityDependencyResolver(container));     }      private static IUnityContainer BuildUnityContainer()     {         var container = new UnityContainer();          // register all your components with the container here         // it is NOT necessary to register your controllers          container.RegisterType<IEmployeeRepository, EmployeeRepository>();          container.RegisterType<ITeamRepository, TeamRepository>();          container.RegisterType<ICompanyRepository, CompanyRepository>();          return container;     } } 

And here are the default constructors of a fresh AccountController.cs

public AccountController()         : this(new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new BusinessTrackerUsersContext()))) {  }  public AccountController(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager) {     UserManager = userManager; }  public AccountController(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager) {     UserManager = userManager; } 

And here are the items being called in the AccountController constructors. These are the defaults with new names.

public class BusinessTrackerUsersContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser> {     public BusinessTrackerUsersContext()         : base("DefaultConnection")     {      } }  public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser {  } 

Any help would be widely appreciated!

I agree with Wiktor.

You could register the parameterless constructor with Unity though and stop it taking the longer parameter by doing this:

container.RegisterType<AccountController>(new InjectionConstructor());
