ASP.NET Core Identity - How to add new claims after initial login

Hi all,

I am trying to add new claims to the Identity after the initial login based on certain data that is queriedfrom database. The new claims that I am adding not persisting for subsequent requests.

In asp.net mvc when using OWIN, i did the following. 

        private static void UpdateAuthenticationResponseGrant(ClaimsIdentity identity)
        {
            var context = HttpContext.Current.Request.GetOwinContext();

            var authenticationContext =
                context.Authentication.AuthenticateAsync(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

            if (authenticationContext != null)
            {
                var authenticationManager = context.Authentication;
                authenticationManager.AuthenticationResponseGrant = new AuthenticationResponseGrant(
                    identity, new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = true });
            }
        }

Is there is simiar way in ASP.NET Core to persist newly added claims. Appreciate any ideas on this.

Thanks,
