## Contributing



Issues and Pull Requests are welcome! To build the project, clone and build it with Visual Studio 2017 or newer.



Be aware that these assemblies are strong-named:



- Okta.AspNet

- Okta.AspNet.Abstractions

- Okta.AspNet.Test



In order to be able to debug those assemblies locally you can either remove strong-naming by unchecking "Sign the assembly" check box in the project options or temporarily add them to ignore list using the Strong Name Tool:



```bash

sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.dll

sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.Abstractions.dll

sn.exe -Vr (path-to)\Okta.AspNet.Test.dll

```



You should restart Visual Studio after making these changes.
