• Entity Framework Core 3.1
• Swagger
• Visual Studio 2019 16.6.3

Getting started

• Clone the repository
• Checkout the master branch
• Open the AspNetCoreIdSrv.sln file in Visual Studio

Database migrations

• Update the appsettings.json file in IdentityServer.csproj project and the connection string to point to your instance of SQL Server
• Migrations are in the Migrations folder in respective projects, so all that is required is to: dotnet ef database update --context ApplicationDbContext
