How to implement a TokenProvider in ASP.NET Identity 1.1 nightly build?

Question

I\'m trying to implement password reset functionality with nightly build of ASP.NET Identity 1.1. There is a UserManager.GetPasswordResetToken method, but it throws an exception

Answer 1

Another way to do this (building on the other answers but simplifying it some) is to change Startup.Auth.cs so it looks similar to this:

public partial class Startup
{
    internal static IDataProtectionProvider DataProtectionProvider { get; private set; }

    public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        DataProtectionProvider = app.GetDataProtectionProvider();
    }
}

Then, modify the default constructor in AccountController.cs so that it looks similar to this:

 public AccountController()
     : this(new UserManager(new UserStore(new ApplicationDbContext())))
 {
     if (Startup.DataProtectionProvider != null)
     {
         this.UserManager.PasswordResetTokens = new DataProtectorTokenProvider(Startup.DataProtectionProvider.Create("PasswordReset"));
         this.UserManager.UserConfirmationTokens = new DataProtectorTokenProvider(Startup.DataProtectionProvider.Create("ConfirmUser"));
     }
 }
