simplemembership in MVC5

Question

I have MVC4 application which runs on simplemembership as an authentication. I want to upgrade my developing environment to VS2013 and MVC5. However I found that MVC5 does not support simplemembership as their default authentication. How do I set up my Simplemembership on MVC5? I cannot use 'ASP.NET identity' since I already use dotconnect postgres as my dataProvider. Please give me some advice.

Answer 1

Here is an article on how to upgrade an MVC4 application using SimpleMembership to MVC5. It includes links to source code.

The ADO.NET implementation of ASP.NET Identity support is added in the latest (7.3) version of dotConnect for PostgreSQL: http://forums.devart.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=29099.
