Migrating to ASP.NET Core Identity for Authentication

This episode outlines the process of migrating a ServiceStack application, specifically the BlazorDiffusion example, to use ASP.NET Core Identity for authentication.

The migration involves several steps including adding ASP.NET Core Identity NuGet packages, creating ASP.NET Core Identity classes for users and roles, creating a database context, initializing ASP.NET Core Identity tables with a migration, and updating the application to use ASP.NET Core Identity.

It also explains how to migrate existing users, roles, and foreign key relationships and highlights the advantages of using ASP.NET Core Identity, such as its compatibility with the ASP.NET Core ecosystem and its additional features.
