Hello i am trying to learn .net and umbraco so excuse my lack of knowledge. I am trying to configure umrbaco with asp .net identity that will be help in a seperate schema in my database.

As of now i have made an extention method that is called from ConfigureServices in startup

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
 {
     services.AddUmbraco(_env, _config)
         .AddBackOffice()
         .AddWebsite()
         .AddDeliveryApi()
         .AddComposers()
         .AddCustomServices()
         .Build();
 }

Inside the extention method is where i am trying to configure asp.net identity, like this:

public static class UmbracoBuilderExtentions
{
    public static IUmbracoBuilder AddCustomServices(this IUmbracoBuilder umbracoBuilder) {

        // Register your Identity DbContext here
        umbracoBuilder.Services.AddDbContext<AuthenticationDbContext>(options =>
        {
            options.UseSqlServer("myconnectionstring");
        });

        umbracoBuilder.Services.AddIdentityCore<AuthenticationUser>()
             .AddRoles<IdentityRole>().AddEntityFrameworkStores<AuthenticationDbContext>()
             .AddTokenProvider<DataProtectorTokenProvider<AuthenticationUser>>(TokenOptions.DefaultProvider);

        umbracoBuilder.Services.PostConfigure<CookieAuthenticationOptions>(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
        options =>
        {
            options.LoginPath = "/login";
            options.AccessDeniedPath = "/access-denied";
        });

        umbracoBuilder.Services.AddAuthentication(x =>
        {
            x.DefaultChallengeScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
            x.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
            x.DefaultSignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
        })
        .AddCookie(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

        //umbracoBuilder.Services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
        //.AddCookie();

        umbracoBuilder.Services.AddScoped<UserManager<AuthenticationUser>>();
        umbracoBuilder.Services.AddScoped<SignInManager<AuthenticationUser>>();

        return umbracoBuilder;
    }
}

i have tried several iterations but havent managed to make it work. While i am able to register users successfully i cant manage to successfully sign in ever!

this is my sign in method for reference:

private async Task<bool> SignIn(AuthenticationUser user, string password)
{
    var result = await _signInManager.CheckPasswordSignInAsync(user, password, true);

    if (result.Succeeded)
    {
        await _signInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
        return true;
    }
    return result.Succeeded;
}

any suggestions on how i can make it work as intended?
