  ok i dug in forums and found MyExceptionHandler and added to my project.

  The reason its failing is because some of my required profile elements are showing as null on the model. Why would the login model care about that?

  so i removed the [Required] attributes and it worked again.

  This is how I had done it. In User.cs in .Core / Authorization / Users:

      [MaxLength(255)]
      [Required]
      public string Company { get; set; }
  
      [MaxLength(255)]
      [Required]
      public string Address { get; set; }
  
      [MaxLength(255)]
      [Required]
      public string City { get; set; }
  
      [MaxLength(10)]
      [Required]
      public string St { get; set; }
  
      [MaxLength(10)]
      [Required]
      [DataType(DataType.PostalCode)]
      public string Zip { get; set; }
  
      [Required]
      [MaxLength(25)]
      [DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)]
      public string PhonePrimary { get; set; }
  

  So since these are not set I guess somewhere on the login void in the boilerplate dll it causes login to not work. Is there away around this? It'd be preferred to me to have these required.

  Hi,

  You may have some existing users in DB who have not these properties filled. So, you can set a default value to these entities and use Required again. If not, can you share exact Entity Validation error?

  Well, it was just that those fields were required.

  When I added them and did the migration after setting up the project it automatically set my existing users values to a blank string for all those values so none of them were null for sure (I had checked this after I did the migration because I was curious as to what it was going to do). It seems that the login doesn't bind the user appropriately if there have been new fields added to it perhaps.

  It is odd that I'm getting a DbEntityValidationError though I thought because there isn't any sort of insert happening here, it should just be validating the creds, is there something beyond that happening I'm not aware of?

  It's compiled into the dll so i really cant see what its doing exactly. This works for me for now, but it may be something you want to consider because the user object is very plain and most apps will have quite a bit of built onto that either directly on the table or adding a profile table.

  Hi,

  Entity Framework does not allow empty strings (not only nulls) for Required fields. If you want to allow empty strings, then define Required as [Required(AllowEmptyString=true)]. Also, EF makes validation while reading from database (not only writing).

  Can you try it?

  Thanks.

  Thanks, that worked. I didn't know that, like I said, this is a Data First to Code First lack of knowledge. I'm used to altering my table in sql then just refreshing my model =)
