How do I use my own database with SimpleMembership and WebSecurity? What is MVC4 security all about?
I've read everything on this topic I could find, including MSDN articles and SO posts, but I'm still very lost and confused. Questions Please answer the following (briefly, if possible): What is SimpleMembership/SimpleMembershipProvider ( WebMatrix.WebData ) and what is it/are they responsible for? What is WebSecurity ( WebMatrix.WebData )? What is the Membership ( System.Web.Security ) class? Why does MVC4 create a UserProfile table and a webpages_Membership table? What are they for and what is the difference? What is the UserProfile class that MVC4 creates? What is the UsersContext class?
