Thinktecture IdentityServer self-service user creation

We currently have several web systems that are using the old Membership provider in silos. I am looking at implementing a new server for identity management and discovered IdentityServer. Is it possible for a user to self-create an identity out of the box? Otherwise, are there add-ons or code samples that would assist in doing something like this?

Identity Server can work with any user store, however only ASP.NET Identity and MembershipReboot is supported out-of-the-box.

If you want to implement your own user store to work with Identity Server, you can implement Identity Server's IUserService interface to abstract it out.

Identity Server itself is not an identity manager but instead an OpenID Connect provider that handles Authentication and Authorization using the OpenID Connect 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 protocols. See my blog post for a brief overview or the big picture section of the official documentation.

I started off in the same situation as you and ended up implementing Identity Server and migrating our user data from ASP.NET Membership to ASP.NET Identity. I would recommend the same for you.
