Storing user secrets in environment variables and userSecrets

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets?tabs=visual-studio

We can create a secrets.json file in visual studio by right click on solution Manage User Secrets and then write the following in the secrets.json file

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=_CHANGE_ME;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  }
}

Enforce HTTPS globally in ConfigureServices and Configure

To create a new razor app with security enabled, use

donet new --auth Individual -o AuthLearnCoreApp

The template already uses a IdentityUser Model with all the necessary attributes and checks for the user model in the database.

IdentityUser already has strong assumptions about the table names and column names of the users table. Hence to change the default column and table names, override the onModelCreating method in the ApplicationDBContext class https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19460386/how-can-i-change-the-table-names-when-using-visual-studio-2013-asp-net-identity

We can use ignore class members for column mapping using the NotMapped annotation or using the modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>().Ignore(t => t.LastName); command in during the onModelCreating method
