Issues and Pull Requests are welcome! To build the project, clone and build it with Visual Studio 2017 or newer.
Be aware that these assemblies are strong-named:
- Okta.AspNet
- Okta.AspNet.Abstractions
- Okta.AspNet.Test
In order to be able to debug those assemblies locally you can either remove strong-naming by unchecking "Sign the assembly" check box in the project options or temporarily add them to ignore list using the Strong Name Tool:
sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.dll
sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.Abstractions.dll
sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.Test.dllYou should restart Visual Studio after making these changes.
