   Hi,

   Does IdentityServer uses SimpleMembership provider to manage users?

     It uses the Membership facade. The rest is standard asp.net configuration.

   Hi Dominick,

   We have a legacy system that validates users (actually, it’s more or less Users DB with some basic information).
   How would you recommend to integrate IdentityServer with such a legacy?

   Regards

   IdSrv is very extensible – you can implement IUserRepository and IClaimsRepository to adapt to arbitraty backend stores.

     Such an instant reply :):):)

     So practically, it would be a “fallback” to LegacyUserRepository.
     In case, IdentityServer native UserRepository doesn’t return a record, we’ll try the legacy right?

     Thank you

   No. You replace the built-in one (based on membership) with your repository.

     If we replace the existing implementation, shouldn’t we “loose” the web identity federation?

       No – they are unrelated.

       SimpleMembershipProvider stores some data regarding the web IdP.

   IdSrv does not do any account linking, it is just and idp + federation gateway

   Dominick – Can you please help me with some step by step instructions on using my own User repository/ database table for Identity server to authenticate against? I know other people have done it, but can’t seem to figure out how. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
