Is MVC5 compatible with SimpleMembershipProvider?

Question

After attempting to upgrade an mvc4 project to mvc5 (following http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/how-to-upgrade-an-aspnet-mvc-4-and-web-api-project-to-aspnet-mvc-5-and-web-api-2) I am getting the following exception:

Inheritance security rules violated by type: 'MvcMembership.TouchUserOnEachVisitFilter'

Is MVC5 compatible with SimpleMembershipProvider? What is the simplest solution to getting the project working with MVC5?

Answer 1

Yes. We were using SimpleMembershipProvider but the old MvcMembership that we were using before (and was not properly removed) was causing this error.
