.Net Framework 4.5.1 and Kentor.OwinCookieSaver

[mark.perry]

UPDATE Oct 15th, 2020 by Nico Sabena (Auth0)

Auth0’s quickstarts and samples no longer use the Kentor.OwinCookieSaver package to work around the problem with cookies and Katana/OWIN. Instead, we are using the SystemWebCookieManager as a workaround recommended by Microsoft.

Original message

I am following the instructions for

Auth0 ASP.NET (OWIN) SDK Quickstarts: Login

When I try it install Kentor.OwinCookieSaver I get

Install-Package : Could not install package ‘Kentor.OwinCookieSaver 1.1.1’. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets ‘.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1’, but the package does not
contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Is there an alternative?

Hi @mark.perry
