When I upgrade from ASP.NET Core 1.x to 2.0, what is the replacement for IdentityCookieOptions?

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core 1.1 application that with code that uses this API:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityCookieOptions

When I attempt to upgrade to ASP.NET Core 2.0, the compiler gives me this error:

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'IdentityCookieOptions' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What is the equivalent API in ASP.NET Core 2.0?

Answer 1

This API was removed in this change: https://github.com/aspnet/Identity/pull/1188

In most cases, you most likely used the default value anyways. You can replace IdentityCookieOptions with IdentityConstants. If you had customized this value, you may need to find another way to flow your custom scheme names into the appropriate SignInManager calls (and anywhere else auth scheme is used).

Examples:

// old
IdentityCookieOptions.ApplicationScheme
IdentityCookieOptions.ApplicationCookieAuthenticationScheme 
// new
IdentityConstants.ApplicationScheme

// old
IdentityCookieOptions.ExternalScheme 
IdentityCookieOptions.ExternalCookieAuthenticationScheme
//new
IdentityConstants.ExternalScheme

//old
IdentityCookieOptions.TwoFactorRememberMeScheme
IdentityCookieOptions.TwoFactorRememberMeCookieAuthenticationScheme 
//new
IdentityConstants.TwoFactorRememberMeScheme

//old
IdentityCookieOptions.TwoFactorUserIdScheme
IdentityCookieOptions.TwoFactorUserIdCookieAuthenticationScheme 
//new
IdentityConstants.TwoFactorUserIdScheme
