How to implement a TokenProvider in ASP.NET Identity 1.1 nightly build?

Question

I'm trying to implement password reset functionality with nightly build of ASP.NET Identity 1.1. There is a UserManager.GetPasswordResetToken method, but it throws an exception "No ITokenProvider is registered". Is there an built in token provider in ASP.NET Identity? If yes, how I can register it? If no, how I can implement one? Will be default Token Provider in the 1.1. release? And final question, is there an estimated 1.1 release date?

Answer 1

If someone looking for solution under AspNet.Identity 2.0 beta1 version.

Only this need to be modified.

UserManager.UserTokenProvider = new DataProtectorTokenProvider
<SecurityUser, string>(provider.Create("UserToken")) 
as IUserTokenProvider<SecurityUser, string>;

PasswordResetTokens and UserConfirmationTokens is merged into UserTokenProvider property and token provider class is also modified.

Answer 2

The default token provider implementation is found in the Microsoft.Identity.Owin package:

/// <summary>
/// Token provider that uses a DataProtector to generate encrypted tokens
/// </summary>
public class DataProtectorTokenProvider : ITokenProvider {
    public DataProtectorTokenProvider(IDataProtector protector)

And you do something like this to wire one up using the default data protection provider from your OWIN IAppBuilder

IDataProtectionProvider provider = app.GetDataProtectionProvider();
if (provider != null)
{
    manager.PasswordResetTokens = new DataProtectorTokenProvider(provider.Create("PasswordReset"));
    manager.UserConfirmationTokens = new DataProtectorTokenProvider(provider.Create("ConfirmUser"));
}
