I'm slowly moving towards building a new web app - nothing too complicated - most of the functionality with be the usual CRUD. I've been leaning towards using React for the client side and ASP.NET Core for the server side (implemented as an Web API). I've noticed that the .NET Core templates currently include React and React+Redux templates but that they don't seem to support Authentication. I was wondering if anyone was aware of technical reasons why? I'm thinking I'd like to use ASP.NET Identity to handle users. I even updated to the latest templates (that will become default in ASP.NET 2.1) but authentication isn't available there.

Just trying to figure out the best stack for creating this app...and avoid writing code that I don't need to.
