HTTP API for Identity

[bugproof]

Is there any HTTP API on top of ASP.NET Core identity available? I was looking at #1187 but it's too bloated to understand anything. I'm trying to avoid creating my own HTTP API for user management but I guess there's no other choice.

I would like to build my own interface for user management but through web API.

There are commercial products that offer the API and UI: https://www.identityserver.com/documentation/admin-ui/

I wrote a blog post about how you can use cookies to secure a web api. With that blog post I've also included a sample project in this github repo where you can create a sign in using an Angular application as the client of the web api. The web api uses ASP.NET Identity. It only exposes registration and sign-in but it shouldn't be too hard to expand from that.

This isn't something we're look at doing given there are other projects out there. It's outside of the scope for identity, which is a simple starting point.
