Question

Hi All, how to use app.UseCookieAuthentication in ASP.NET Core API if remember me checkbox is checked true session should not expire 1 day if remember me checkbox is checked false session should expire 10 mins how can I achieve above

If IsPersistent property of AuthenticationProperties is set to false, then the cookie expiration time is set to Session. If checkbox "remember me" is checked then AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties{ IsPersistent = true }, userIdentity); will create a cookie with expiration time equal to ExpireTimeSpan you set up in Startup.cs (defaults to 14days). If checkbox "remember me" is NOT checked then you have to use AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties{ IsPersistent = true, ExpiresUtc = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMinutes(30)}, userIdentity);. Again IsPersistent is set to true but now we give a value to ExpiresUtc so it does not use from CookieAuthenticationOptions from Startup.cs. public override async Task SignInAsync(ApplicationUser user, bool isPersistent, bool rememberBrowser) { var userIdentity = await CreateUserIdentityAsync(user).WithCurrentCulture(); // Clear any partial cookies from external or two factor partial sign ins AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.TwoFactorCookie); if (rememberBrowser) { var rememberBrowserIdentity = AuthenticationManager.CreateTwoFactorRememberBrowserIdentity(ConvertIdToString(user.Id)); AuthenticationManager.SignIn( new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = isPersistent }, userIdentity, rememberBrowserIdentity); } else { //AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = isPersistent }, userIdentity); if (isPersistent) { AuthenticationManager.SignIn( new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = true }, userIdentity); } else { AuthenticationManager.SignIn( new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = true , ExpiresUtc = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMinutes(30) }, userIdentity); } } }
