NHibernate.AspNet.Identity
ASP.NET Identity provider that uses NHibernate for storage
About this
Purpose
ASP.NET MVC 5 shipped with a new Identity system (in the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core package) in order to support both local login and remote logins via OpenID/OAuth, but only ships with an Entity Framework provider (Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework).
Features
- Drop-in replacement ASP.NET Identity with NHibernate as the backing store.
- Based on same schema required by EntityFramework for compatibility model
- Contains the same IdentityUser class used by the EntityFramework provider in the MVC 5 project template.
- Supports additional profile properties on your application's user model.
- Provides UserStore implementation that implements the same interfaces as the EntityFramework version:
- IUserStore
- IUserLoginStore
- IUserRoleStore
- IUserClaimStore
- IUserPasswordStore
- IUserSecurityStampStore
Quick-start guide
These instructions assume you know how to set up NHibernate within an MVC application.
- Create a new ASP.NET MVC 5 project, choosing the Individual User Accounts authentication type.
- Remove the Entity Framework packages and replace with NHibernate Identity:
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
Uninstall-Package EntityFramework
Install-Package NHibernate.AspNet.Identity
-
In ~/Models/IdentityModels.cs:
- Remove the namespace: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
- Add the namespace: NHibernate.AspNet.Identity
- Remove the ApplicationDbContext class completely.
-
In ~/Controllers/AccountController.cs
- Remove the namespace: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
- Add the relevant ISession implementation that will be used by default. This could be from a DI implementation. Note: This isn't mandatory, if you are using a framework that will inject the dependency, you shouldn't need the parameterless constructor.

Setup configuration code
NHibernate
// this assumes you are using the default Identity model of "ApplicationUser"
var myEntities = new [] {
typeof(ApplicationUser)
};
var configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.Configure("sqlite-nhibernate-config.xml");
configuration.AddDeserializedMapping(MappingHelper.GetIdentityMappings(myEntities), null);
var factory = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
var session = factory.OpenSession();
var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(
new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(session);
FluentNHibernate
// this assumes you are using the default Identity model of "ApplicationUser"
var myEntities = new [] {
typeof(ApplicationUser)
};
var configuration = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(/*.....*/)
.ExposeConfiguration(cfg => {
cfg.AddDeserializedMapping(MappingHelper.GetIdentityMappings(myEntities), null);
});
var factory = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
var session = factory.OpenSession();
var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(
new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(session);
Thanks To
Special thanks to David Boike whos RavenDB AspNet Identity project gave me the base for jumpstarting the NHibernate provider
