Using with Thinktecture IdentityServer v2 about brockallen.membershipreboot

[brockallen]

Yes, this is absolutely possible -- I'm doing exactly this in a non-OSS project now. I'll give you the short answer here and then maybe (if I get time) I can post a sample it in code.

You need to build a bridge between MR and IdSrv. This is done by writing a class that implements IUserRepository, IUserManagementRepository, and IClaimsRepository. These would then use the UserAccountService to provide the backing implementation. Once you've done that, you need to configure this bridge class in Configuration/repositories.config as the userManagement, userValidation and claimsRepository entries.

Thanks. I am absolutely fascinated by the idea and any guidance would be a big help. Trying not to flail.

Did you ever get a chance to post some code on using this with IdentityServer 2?

[brockallen]

No, I didn't sorry.

Started working on this, running into some difficulty. Your MR example uses Ninject which has multiple constructor arguments, and IdSrv uses MEF (I think) which requires a single constructor with no arguments, is that correct? I'm not that familiar with MEF, but not sure how to reconcile the two, it seems like a pretty big impedence mismatch. Seems smelly to add Ninject in IdSrv, but so does the alternative, which is spinning up the MR instances directly. Unless I'm missing something - any suggestions on how to approach it?

Yea, sorry I never replied to this. Agreed, that adding proper IoC to IdentityServer seems counter to its original design and thus isn't what I tend to do when I need to extend it.
