Little issue with ServiceStack.Authentication.MongoDb

ServiceStack Authentication
1

I am migrating / modifying some of my source code which origins 11 years ago (ServiceStack version 4.0). At that time I have implemented my own version of IUserAuthRepository with a MongoDB version. Now its time to move to the ‘official’ version.

Unfortunately I get some version conflicts with my driver. ServiceStack.Authentication.MongoDb 8.9.0 depends on MongoDB.Driver 2.30.x which is pretty outdated, I use Version 3.5 to work with my server side.

The issues I have is with type conflicts, e.g. Collation exists in both MongoDB.Driver.Core 2.30 and `MongoDB.Driver 3.5. Unfortunately I cannot downgrade, since my server is latest version and does require a 3.x driver version.

Do you have a workaround for me or would it be possible to use a more recent MongoDB driver in your library?

Thanks a lot for your help.

The way to get around dependency issues is to use a local copy of the source code where it will use whatever version your App does. It’s only 2 files:

On closer inspection MongoDB.Driver.Core is no longer needed, which is now removed from the latest just released ServiceStack v8.10. So you should now be able to upgrade to resolve the issue.
