Minimal API Development with ASP.NET Core - Add Identity and Seed Users

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up a custom user table and integrating identity services into a project. It covers configuring default users and roles, using GUIDs for consistent IDs, and assigning roles to users. The tutorial concludes with finalizing configurations and updating the database to reflect these changes.

What is the purpose of setting up a custom user table in the DB context?

• To enhance database security

• To inform the DB context about user table operations

• To manage user sessions

• To store user preferences

Why is Identity Core preferred over Identity for API projects?

• It provides better security

• It offers more features

• It is lighter and more suitable for APIs

• It is easier to configure

What is the builder pattern used for in this context?

• To add services in a structured manner

• To construct complex objects

• To manage database connections

• To enhance application performance

What is the role of GUIDs in user and role configuration?

• To improve database performance

• To simplify user authentication

• To enhance password security

• To ensure unique identifiers across migrations

Why is it important to hash passwords in the database?

• To reduce storage space

• To prevent unauthorized access

• To speed up database queries

• To comply with data regulations

What is the purpose of seeding default users and roles?

• To enhance application security

• To simplify user management

• To provide initial data for the application

• To test the application

How does the user role configuration relate to the concept of many-to-many relationships?

• It simplifies role management

• It restricts users to a single role

• It allows multiple users to have multiple roles

• It enhances database performance

What is the significance of maintaining consistent IDs across migrations?

• To ensure data integrity

• To enhance user experience

• To improve application performance

• To simplify code maintenance

What is the final step after configuring users and roles in the database?

• Testing the application

• Updating the database

• Deploying the application

• Optimizing the database

What will be the next focus after setting up users and roles?

• Enhancing user interface

• Optimizing database queries

• Improving application security

• Setting up login and token distribution
