Configuring Mongo

For simplicity we recommend to try to use MongoDB locally first, so you will be able to have this sample running in no time. If you do NOT wish to run mongo locally, it is just a matter of adjusting the "appsettings.json" file under QuickstartIdentityServer project.

First we need to download / install mongo from https://www.mongodb.com

Secondly create a folder to store the database and tell mongo to start a new process inside this folder. It also stores the command to start the database inside a file called start.bat which you can use again to restart the database when needed. - This is a quick / simple approach to run Mongo locally.

From your command prompt, execute the following commands:

>cd C:\
>mkdir mongodb
>cd mongodb
>mkdir identity4db
>cd identity4db
>@echo "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath "C:\mongodb\identity4db" > identity4db.bat
>identity4db.bat

With your local database in place, you can use Mongo Compass Community or something a bit more user user friendly like Robo3T to browse/ edit its content.

Alternative option - Docker

If you prefer use Docker, please take a look at Dockerize MongoDB
