Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.EntityFrameworkCore 11.0.0-preview.6.26359.118

About

Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.EntityFrameworkCore provides a mechanism for storing data protection keys to a database using Entity Framework Core.

How to Use

To use Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.EntityFrameworkCore, follow these steps:

Installation

dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.EntityFrameworkCore

Configuration

To store keys in a database, use the PersistKeysToDbContext extension method. For example:

builder.Services.AddDataProtection()
    .PersistKeysToDbContext<MyDbContext>();

Ensure that your DB context (MyDbContext in the above example) implements IDataProtectionKeyContext. For example:

class MyDbContext : DbContext, IDataProtectionKeyContext
{
    public MyKeysContext(DbContextOptions<MyKeysContext> options)
        : base(options)
    {
    }

    // This maps to the table that stores keys
    public DbSet<DataProtectionKey> DataProtectionKeys { get; set; }
}
