Remove Owin from MVC 5 Application and use asp.net custom forms authentication
Owin comes with 15 other dependencies when we add default "blank" mvc5 template in solution. Which some time is irrelevant to web application hence needs to be removed for adding custom authentication techniques in the web application. Remove the owin from solution is tedious task but if we follow the below procedure then it can be easily removed from the solution.
- Right click on your project and from menu click on Manage Nuget Packages.
on left side of Manage Nuget Packages window click on Installed Package
then on right side of window in search box type owin.
- Uninstall packages in order of:
- microsoft.aspnet.identity.owin
- microsoft.owin.host.systemweb
- microsoft.owin.security.cookies
- microsoft.owin.security.facebook
- microsoft.owin.security.google
- microsoft.owin.security.microsoftaccount
- microsoft.owin.security.twitter
- microsoft.aspnet.identity.entityframework
- microsoft.aspnet.identity.core
- Open
web.config
file and remove these sections from<runtime><assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Owin" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Owin.Security.OAuth" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Owin.Security" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
- Open bin folder and if there is any Owin assembly, delete all of them
- Or open web.config in
<appSettings>
section then add this<add key="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value="false" />
- Remove the element
<remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
from the<system.webServer>
<modules >
this will enable the forms authentication in the application. - Now you can set authentication cookies in your login page using
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);
method and check the ticket in the pages to authenticate the users
