#IdentityDemo

Identity 2.0 demo with web and win8 client example.

A demonstration sample to help learn Identity 2.0 based on the [article] (http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/security/individual-accounts-in-web-api) "Individual Accounts in ASP.NET Web API"

##Differences between article and code generated by VS 2013 Update 2RC

###RegisterBindingModel

1. Uses "public string Email { get; set; }" rather than UserName...

###Strong passwords

1. include an upper case, numeral and special character

##Notes I have the url set to localhost.fiddler (_BaseAddress = "http://localhost.fiddler:8782/";). Be sure to have Fiddler running or change _BaseAddress in Identity.Demo.Pcl Configuration

##What works

1. You can register an account with the SecondPage. Navigate from the main screen with the app bar button 'Navigate' Enter an email address and strong password. click/touch Register in appBar.

2. SecondPage Login button now retreives a Token.

3. Displays Values on MainPage from the api/Values controller if you first login from the SecondPage, return to MainPage and use appBar refresh button.

##Yet to be implemented or completed Implement some program flow to make it more real world, maybe some error checking. However, :-), the Identity auth works.

###Questions Should Register return a 201 Created? or does it use 200 and not return the created resource for security measure? Hence the 200?

###Oddities

In the DataService while debugging, although the Register method works I can't hover over variables to see there content. Adding them to watch results in a dreaded "The name 'whatEver' does not exist in the current context" If I inspect this. in the Locals Window I see the variables as IL names. Note the NullReferenceException when I expand CS$0$0002

•   CS$0$0002	{System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter<system.net.http.httpresponsemessage>}	System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter<system.net.http.httpresponsemessage>
  

•   IsCompleted	'CS$0$0002.IsCompleted' threw an exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException'	bool {System.NullReferenceException}
  

•   base	{"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}	System.SystemException {System.NullReferenceException}
  

I moved the identity code (RegisterUser...) that was causing the oddities into a portable class library (PCL). Debugging the same code in the PCL behaves as I would expect. I can inspect Locals while stopped on a breakpoint. I'd like to learn how to fix the problem in the other code. Must be some offending assembley. Hope to learn how to get more verbose build log and figure it out... some day...
