Connecting local users database with Identity Server 4

Question

-> I want to use Identity server 4 as a central token generator for some clients.
-> Here my problem is I have implemented Identity server 4 with the help of docs, in the docs the IS4 is using its own database for users to login.
-> Can someone explain the way to connect to my own users database for login and token generation. (I'm using the latest version of IS4 and .net core).

Thanks in advance :)

Note: I have tried all the things from docs -> http://docs.identityserver.io/en/latest/quickstarts/8_aspnet_identity.html

Answer 1

The AccountController is a starting point for you to adapt to suit your own requirements.

This template uses ASP.NET Core Identity for user management.

Your choices are

• Migrate your users to use the Identity's table structure
• Provide a custom storage provider to ASP.Net Identity that uses your existing user tables (Custom Storage Provider)
• Implement your own user management\storage service and change AccountController to use it

Answer 2

If you have a custom database you want to connect to, you can implement the IProfileService. IdentityServer4 uses an instance of that interface to collect user details. Docs: click
