default lockout asp.identity

Question

I am using the standard Asp.net Identity framework, Ver 2.0. Is there any way to have a DEFAULT lockout set when the user registers for the first time? Our application requires that on registration, a user needs to be locked out after 48 hours. This needs to be automatic to avoid unnecessary admin headaches?

I am aware of the following settings, but these just enable not activate the features:

manager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true; // Enables ability to lockout 
manager.DefaultAccountLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
manager.MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout = 5;

Thanks very much.

Answer 1

I don't think the lockout mechanism is meant to use like that. But I would like to suggest another solution anyway.

I think the easiest way is to extend ApplicationUser with a CreatedDateTime field that is set when the user is created (registers).

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
    public DateTime CreatedDateTime { get; set; }
}

When a user logs in just check appUser.CreatedDateTime.AddDays(2) < DateTime.Now

As a bonus you can track when the user registered.
