How do I expose `UserManager` to my business layer while hiding `IdentityUser`?

Question

I don\'t want to reference EntityFramework and hence Identity.EntityFramework with its IdentityUser in my domain. But I\'d like to use UserManage

Answer 1

It required me to write an adapter to Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Framework.UserStore that inherits from IUserStore and thus can be used with UserManager. It maps my custom user object to IdentityUser. The gist for it can be found at https://gist.github.com/w1ld/b9228f5a27c54b061f90#file-userstoreadapter-cs Hope it helps someone!
