How can I change default ASP.NET Identity table names in .NET CORE?

Question

I've started with .NET Core, in MVC 5 I changed default table names for example: AspNETUsers to Users in this way and it worked perfectly: In IdentityModels Class I dded:

protected override void OnModelCreating(System.Data.Entity.DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);

        modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUser>().ToTable("Users").Property(p => p.Id).HasColumnName("UserId");
        modelBuilder.Entity<ApplicationUser>().ToTable("Users").Property(p => p.Id).HasColumnName("UserId");
        modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserRole>().ToTable("UserRoles");
        modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserLogin>().ToTable("UserLogins");
        modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityUserClaim>().ToTable("UserClaims");
        modelBuilder.Entity<IdentityRole>().ToTable("Roles");
    }

But it does not work in .NET CORE (MVC 6). Can Anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

-To change the names of those tables ( IdentityUserRole<Tkey>, IdentityUserToken<Tkey>, IdentityRoleClaim<Tkey>, IdentityUserClaim<Tkey>, IdentityUserLogin<Tkey>) you have to specify the type of TKey(The type used for the primary key ) which is string(GUID) by default even if you didn't change it.

-If you want to change the primary key from GUID to int https://medium.com/@goodealsnow/asp-net-core-identity-3-0-6018fc151b4

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(builder);
        // Customize the ASP.NET Identity model and override the defaults if needed.
        // For example, you can rename the ASP.NET Identity table names and more.
        // Add your customizations after calling base.OnModelCreating(builder);

        builder.Entity<ApplicationUser>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable(name: "User");         
        });

        builder.Entity<IdentityRole>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable(name: "Role");
        });
        builder.Entity<IdentityUserRole<string>>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable("UserRoles");
          //in case you chagned the TKey type
          //  entity.HasKey(key => new { key.UserId, key.RoleId });
        });

        builder.Entity<IdentityUserClaim<string>>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable("UserClaims");
        });

        builder.Entity<IdentityUserLogin<string>>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable("UserLogins");
             //in case you chagned the TKey type
          //  entity.HasKey(key => new { key.ProviderKey, key.LoginProvider });       
 });

        builder.Entity<IdentityRoleClaim<string>>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable("RoleClaims");

        });

        builder.Entity<IdentityUserToken<string>>(entity =>
        {
            entity.ToTable("UserTokens");
            //in case you chagned the TKey type
           // entity.HasKey(key => new { key.UserId, key.LoginProvider, key.Name });

        });
    }
