Hi
I am looking to move over to .net core with EF core and angualr, and I am looking to implement authentication.
My current MVC project uses identity.
I have watch the pluralsight tutorials and read a lot of other bits and pieces on it, and alot of them are on older versions, and they all have very different ways of doing things,so i have a few questions.
Is Identity still a good option for authenticating users?
Should I been looking for jwt implementation, as apposed to cookies?
Are the implementations back end the same as mv, eg do u still build a userstore then return x to the user (not to worried about the front end right now, will up my focus on that later, i am looking at it now but can only focus on one bit at a time)
What information is stored in the token which authenticates, in the pluralsight example it saves a lis of claims and generates token from it, which seems a little weird, i thought it would be a reference to the user, then you reference the claims later for authentication.
If anyone also has a link to a tutorial or code sample it would be appriciated.
