Can I use a local database with Stormpath?


I'm working with a web application in Asp.Net Core 1 and would like to integrate authentication, I thought of using Stormpath but can not connect to a local database to make the login match.

If there is no way, what choice do I use? Thank you


Solution

  • Stormpath will store your user accounts, but you can also use a local database to 'relate' to your Stormpath user accounts.

    The idea is pretty simple. When you store a user in Stormpath, you'll get back an account object. This object has an href property which is a unique ID for the user.

    If you want to create a database table named books, that has an author_id ForeignKey type field, you would define the author_id field as a TEXT field, then store the account href from Stormpath there.

    This is how you would 'relate' to Stormpath accounts.
