This template is an ASP.NET API (.NET 7), ASP.NET Identity with cookies authentication, and it includes a React project. It is based on the ASP.NET Core with React.JS (option without authentication) template available in Visual Studio SPA templates, but with the following additions:

• Entity Framework.
• ASP.NET Identity, along with scaffolded ASP.NET Identity UI pages and Razor Pages support.
• Configuration of cookies with SameSite Strict and HttpOnly attributes.
• Auth controller (optional).
• LoginMenu.js component in React (optional).

Note: Another Visual Studio template is available here, which supports authentication through Duende Identity Server for implementing OpenID Connect.
