ASP Identity 2.0: Regenerate Identity

Vote count:

I am having trouble getting ASP Identity to refresh its Identity stored in a cookie on demand.

In the Startup.Auth.cs file the cookie is set to regenerate as follows:

app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {
                AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
                LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"),
                Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
                {
                    OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<QuizSparkUserManager, QuizSparkUser, int>(
                    validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
                    regenerateIdentityCallback: ((manager, user) => manager.CreateIdentityAsync(user, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie)),
                    getUserIdCallback: ((claimsIdentity) => int.Parse(claimsIdentity.GetUserId())))
                }
            });

However I cannot work out how to refresh the contents on User.Identity in code, i.e. force a refresh of the identity cookie when I need it to refresh.

I want to be able to use the regenerate identity callback programmatically, is this possible?

My problem is similar to this one : How to invalidate .AspNet.ApplicationCookie after Adding user to Role using Asp.Net Identity 2?

However I want to refresh rather than invalidate the cookie.
