Set authentification in asp net core (asp net 5)

I need the ability to authentificate my user from code in test like this

var identity = new GenericIdentity("[email protected]", "UserId");
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(identity, null);

Or like this 

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, rememberMe);

But these methods not working in asp net 5.

The FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie method is part of the System.Web.Security namespace in ASP.NET, which is included in the .NET Framework. Therefore, you can use the FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie method in your ASP.NET application without any additional packages or libraries.

Have you tried this : FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie doesn't [Authorize] in MVC 5

To get this to work in ASP.NET Core, first, use NuGet to add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies

In Startup.cs, add this to the Configure method:

  app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions()
  {
    AuthenticationScheme = "PutANameHere",
    LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login/"),
    AutomaticAuthenticate = true,
    AutomaticChallenge = true
  });

Then call this to login:

  var userClaims = new List<Claim>
    {
        new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, userName)     
    };

  var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(new ClaimsIdentity(userClaims, "local"));
  HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync("PutANameHere", principal);

For more information on this, check this out: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/security/authentication/cookie.html
