How to use MongoDB.AspNet.Identity with WebApi2

Question

I am building a WebApi2 project and wanted to use mongodb as a backend and I found MongoDB.AspNet.Identity package, I used it before in MVC5 website and it worked well, but after installing in the WebApi project I got an error: enter image description here

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'IdentityUserLogin' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) \Controllers\AccountController.cs

How to fix that? or it is impossible to use MongoDB.AspNet.Identity package with WebApi2 projects?

Change every occurence of IdentityUserLogin to UserLoginInfo. Furthermore change

user.Logins.Add(new UserLoginInfo
        {
            LoginProvider = externalLogin.LoginProvider,
            ProviderKey = externalLogin.ProviderKey
        });

to

user.Logins.Add(new UserLoginInfo(
            externalLogin.LoginProvider,
            externalLogin.ProviderKey
        ));

Should work now.

You mean replace,

user.Logins.Add(new IdentityUserLogin 
{
  LoginProvider = externalLogin.LoginProvider,
  ProviderKey = externalLogin.ProviderKey
});

to

user.Logins.Add(new UserLoginInfo(
        externalLogin.LoginProvider,
        externalLogin.ProviderKey
));
