Introduction
Information Technology is countiniuosly evolving and often you need to update your old application with the new framework. With the advent of ASP.NET Identity, user's management has been radically changed, before many applications used the Microsoft ASP.NET Membership Provider that allows an easy user managment inteface.
Now coming up the need to migrate these users to the new ASP.NET Identity Management.
To do this you can use scripts that allow the correct table creation and data migration from one provider to another (ASP.NET Membership -> ASP.NET Identity.
Here are the steps to follow:
Step By Step
STEP 1: Remove the default tables created by ASP.NET Identity
IF OBJECT_ID('AspNetUserRoles', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE AspNetUserRoles;
END
IF OBJECT_ID('AspNetUserClaims', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE AspNetUserClaims;
END
IF OBJECT_ID('AspNetUserLogins', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE AspNetUserLogins;
END
IF OBJECT_ID('AspNetRoles', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE AspNetRoles;
END
IF OBJECT_ID('AspNetUsers', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE AspNetUsers;
END
STEP 2: Create Table Users (AspNetUsers):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUsers] (
[Id] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[UserName] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[PasswordHash] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[SecurityStamp] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[Discriminator] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[ApplicationId] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[LegacyPasswordHash] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[LoweredUserName] NVARCHAR (256) NOT NULL,
[MobileAlias] NVARCHAR (16) DEFAULT (NULL) NULL,
[IsAnonymous] BIT DEFAULT ((0)) NOT NULL,
[LastActivityDate] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[MobilePIN] NVARCHAR (16) NULL,
[Email] NVARCHAR (256) NULL,
[LoweredEmail] NVARCHAR (256) NULL,
[PasswordQuestion] NVARCHAR (256) NULL,
[PasswordAnswer] NVARCHAR (128) NULL,
[IsApproved] BIT NOT NULL,
[IsLockedOut] BIT NOT NULL,
[CreateDate] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[LastLoginDate] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[LastPasswordChangedDate] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[LastLockoutDate] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[FailedPasswordAttemptCount] INT NOT NULL,
[FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount] INT NOT NULL,
[FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptWindowStart] DATETIME2 NOT NULL,
[Comment] NTEXT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetUsers] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC), FOREIGN KEY ([ApplicationId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[aspnet_Applications] ([ApplicationId]), );
STEP 3: Import Users from Membership:
INSERT INTO AspNetUsers( Id,
UserName,
PasswordHash,
Discriminator,
SecurityStamp,
ApplicationId,
LoweredUserName,
MobileAlias,
IsAnonymous,
LastActivityDate,
LegacyPasswordHash,
MobilePIN,
Email,
LoweredEmail,
PasswordQuestion,
PasswordAnswer,
IsApproved,
IsLockedOut,
CreateDate,
LastLoginDate,
LastPasswordChangedDate,
LastLockoutDate,
FailedPasswordAttemptCount,
FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptWindowStart,
FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount,
FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart,
Comment
)
SELECT aspnet_Users.UserId,
aspnet_Users.UserName ,(aspnet_Membership.Password+'|'+CAST(aspnet_Membership.PasswordFormat as varchar)+'|'+aspnet_Membership.PasswordSalt) AS PasswordHash,
'User',
NewID(),
aspnet_Users.ApplicationId,
aspnet_Users.LoweredUserName,
aspnet_Users.MobileAlias,
aspnet_Users.IsAnonymous,
aspnet_Users.LastActivityDate,
aspnet_Membership.Password,
aspnet_Membership.MobilePIN,
aspnet_Membership.Email,
aspnet_Membership.LoweredEmail,
aspnet_Membership.PasswordQuestion,
aspnet_Membership.PasswordAnswer,
aspnet_Membership.IsApproved,
aspnet_Membership.IsLockedOut,
aspnet_Membership.CreateDate,
aspnet_Membership.LastLoginDate,
aspnet_Membership.LastPasswordChangedDate,
aspnet_Membership.LastLockoutDate,
aspnet_Membership.FailedPasswordAttemptCount, aspnet_Membership.FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptWindowStart,
aspnet_Membership.FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount,
aspnet_Membership.FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart,
aspnet_Membership.Comment
FROM aspnet_Users
LEFT OUTER JOIN aspnet_Membership ON aspnet_Membership.ApplicationId = aspnet_Users.ApplicationId
AND aspnet_Users.UserId = aspnet_Membership.UserId;
STEP 4: Create Table Roles:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetRoles] (
[Id] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[Name] NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Id] ASC),
);
STEP 5: Importing Roles from Membership:
INSERT INTO AspNetRoles(Id,Name)
SELECT RoleId,RoleName
FROM aspnet_Roles;
STEP 6: Create Table Roles for Users (AspNetUserRoles):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUserRoles] (
[UserId] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[RoleId] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetUserRoles]
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([UserId] ASC, [RoleId] ASC),
CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.AspNetUserRoles_dbo.AspNetRoles_RoleId]
FOREIGN KEY ([RoleId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[AspNetRoles] ([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE, CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.AspNetUserRoles_dbo.AspNetUsers_UserId]
FOREIGN KEY ([UserId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[AspNetUsers] ([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE );
STEP 7: Importing Roles for Users from Membership:
INSERT INTO AspNetUserRoles(UserId,RoleId)
SELECT UserId,RoleId FROM aspnet_UsersInRoles;
STEP 8: Creating Tables Other ASP.NET Identity:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUserClaims] (
[Id] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[ClaimType] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[ClaimValue] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[User_Id] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetUserClaims]
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC),
CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.AspNetUserClaims_dbo.AspNetUsers_User_Id]
FOREIGN KEY ([User_Id]) REFERENCES [dbo].[AspNetUsers] ([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE );
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_User_Id] ON [dbo].[AspNetUserClaims]([User_Id] ASC);
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUserLogins] (
[UserId] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[LoginProvider] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[ProviderKey] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetUserLogins]
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([UserId] ASC, [LoginProvider] ASC, [ProviderKey] ASC),
CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.AspNetUserLogins_dbo.AspNetUsers_UserId]
FOREIGN KEY ([UserId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[AspNetUsers] ([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE );
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_UserId] ON [dbo].[AspNetUserLogins]([UserId] ASC);
Once you have completed the last step is possbile to start your application and use the imported users to access.
Happy Coding;)
I am an Italian developer specialized on ASP.NET web applications.
I consider myself a lucky person because my work coincides with my passion: Develop code!
I began to develop code from the age of about ten years with the infamous Commodore 64.
My turning point was the advent of the internet since 1995 and I started to develop websites first static and then dynamic (ASP) before moving to. NET platform since then ... I do not have more 'stopped!
