Note This configuration requires the *EPiServer.Commerce.Security *NuGet package as dependency.

When using the ASP.NET Identity registrar with MVC, you need to make all action results async since all ASP.NET Identity methods are async. The following example shows this when creating a new user.

[HttpPost]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task Register(FormCollection model)
      {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
          {
            string firstName = model["Email"];
            string lastName = model["Email"];
            string emailAddress = model["Email"];
            string password = model["Password"];
            var principal = await Task.Run(() => _registrar.CreateUser(emailAddress, password, emailAddress));
                    
            // Now create an account in the ECF 
            CustomerContact customerContact;
            if (_registrar is CustomerContactRegistrar)
              {
                customerContact = CustomerContext.Current.GetContactByUserId(
                  new MapUserKey(s => new ConvertStringUserKey()).ToTypedString(principal.Identity.Name));
              }
            else
              {
                customerContact = CustomerContact.CreateInstance(principal);
              }
            customerContact.FirstName = firstName;
            customerContact.LastName = lastName;
            customerContact.RegistrationSource = String.Format("{0}, {1}", this.Request.Url.Host, SiteContext.Current);
            customerContact["Email"] = emailAddress;
            customerContact.SaveChanges();
            await Task.Run(() =>_registrar.SignIn
              (
                new AuthenticationProperties()
                  {
                    IsPersistent = false
                  },
                  principal.Identity as ClaimsIdentity
              );
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
          }
    
        // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
        return View(model);
      }
