The name 'ConfigureAuth' does not exist in the current contex
Solution 1
If you are using default Visual Studio project template, the ConfigureAuth
method could be found in partial class Startup.Auth.cs
. So make sure you didn't break anything when modifying project structure.
This is an example of ConfigureAuth
method:
// For more information on configuring authentication, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301864
public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
{
// Configure the db context and user manager to use a single instance per request
app.CreatePerOwinContext<ApplicationUserManager>(ApplicationUserManager.Create);
// Enable the application to use a cookie to store information for the signed in user
// and to use a cookie to temporarily store information about a user logging in with a third party login provider
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions());
app.UseExternalSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
// Configure the application for OAuth based flow
PublicClientId = "self";
OAuthOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
{
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/api/Token"),
Provider = new ApplicationOAuthProvider(PublicClientId),
AuthorizeEndpointPath = new PathString("/api/Account/ExternalLogin"),
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(14),
AllowInsecureHttp = true
};
// Enable the application to use bearer tokens to authenticate users
app.UseOAuthBearerTokens(OAuthOptions);
}

I had similar issue, To fix the issue I removed .App_Start from namespace in Startup.Auth.cs file. After that I was able to see the reference.
Solution 3
It is either:
[assembly: **OwinStartup**(typeof(Project-Name.Startup))]
namespace project-name
{
public partial class Startup
{
public void **Configuration**(IAppBuilder app)
{
OR
[assembly: **OwinStartupAttribute**(typeof(Project-Name.Startup))]
namespace project-name
{
public partial class Startup
{
public void **ConfigureAuth**(IAppBuilder app)
{
Either rename OwinStartupAttribute to OwinStartup OR Configuration to ConfigureAuth
Solution 4
Kindly I note that the two partial classes (Startup.Auth.cs and Startup.cs) should be in the same namespace which is the root of the project, just change the namespace of Startup.Auth.cs to the same namespace of the Startup.cs

The name 'ConfigureAuth' does not exist in the current context
in my
Stratup
Class. I'm sure allAspNet Identity
libraries are installed. What do I need to do next, to try to fix this?using Microsoft.Owin; using Owin; [assembly: OwinStartupAttribute(typeof(project_name.Startup))] namespace project_name { public partial class Startup { public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app) { ConfigureAuth(app); } } }
