app.UseCookieAuthentication does not seem to be working for cookiename or expiretimespan

In asp.net 5 + (asp.net identity 3.0) I am trying to rename the cookie and see if I can set the log out value from its default.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory) { app.UseIdentity();

            app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {

                CookieName = "MyCookie",
                ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1.0),

            });
}

enter image description here

The cookie name is not being renamed to MyCookie and ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1.0) is not "logging me out after 1 minute) or setting the . I do get redirected to

Solution

  • It turns out you have to use 

     public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {

  services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole>(
                   options => {

                       options.Cookies.ApplicationCookieAuthenticationScheme = "MyCookie";
                       options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.AuthenticationScheme = IdentityCookieOptions.ApplicationCookieAuthenticationType = "MyCookie";
                       options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.0);
                       options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.CookieName = "MyCookie";


                   })

    }

    I was using IApplicationBuilder app

      app.UseIdentity().UseCookieAuthentication(
            new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {

    ... ect

    So basically using IServiceCollection AddIdentity fix my issue.
