Hi, could this be something on the OnExternalLogin method? It's not a virtual user, but i guess you have to hook up on a database anyway to do your check.

 public void Configure(BackOfficeExternalLoginProviderOptions options)
    {
        options.AutoLinkOptions = new ExternalSignInAutoLinkOptions(
                        autoLinkExternalAccount: false )

    {
                    OnExternalLogin = (user, loginInfo) =>
                    {
                        // Do your check on your DB

                        return true; //returns a boolean if sign in should continue
                    }
                };
    }
    }

It's still not possible to use virtual users/members.

However I did release a package that shows how external login providers can be used in Umbraco: https://www.jeroenbreuer.nl/blog/released-umbraco-openid-connect-example-package/

I think I have some pointer, that can help you to a solution. I am currently working on a somewhat similar problem.

I have yet to make it fully integrate into Umbraco member system, but here is some pointers:

You can have a look at creating a class that inherits from Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Security.MemberManager. (Also check this out) You can then inject that in startup like this:

services.AddUmbraco(_env, _config)
            .AddBackOffice()
            .AddWebsite()
            .AddComposers()
            .SetMemberManager<YourMemberManagerClass>()
            .Build();

In that class, you can override almost all the action you need. I have not had a look at this yet, but there is also a .SetMemberStore() method on the IServiceCollection, so that might be helpfull as well.

When you look into MemberManager and it's dependencies, you find a lot of functionality that can possibly help you figure out a solution.

This was very helpfull for me, when I had to store custom data on the member.

The very most simple thing you can do, is something like this, in you auth controller. It will not get you all the way, buy it will get you logged in.

var user = new MemberIdentityUser
                {
                    Id = "someId",
                    UserName = "someUsername"
                };

                user.Claims.Add(new IdentityUserClaim<string>() { ClaimType = ClaimTypes.Role, ClaimValue = "role goes here" });

                await _memberSigninManager.SignInAsync(user, true);

_memberSigninManager is type IMemberSignInManager.

As mentioned, I havent gotten it all fully integrated. I am still having trouble getting the member to access protected nodes.

I know that this is all over the place, but I thought it might be to some help.

Wow this looks great! Let me know if you can fully integrate it into members. Then I could add it to the Umbraco OpenID Connect example package:

I managed to get virtual members working. It is an experiment though. I don't know if it is wise to use this approach on a live environment.
