Custom Asp.net mvc 5 authentication without using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework

Question

How do you create a custom ASP.NET MVC 5 Auth without using the UserStore of Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework??

Answer 1

All you have to do is implement the same interfaces that the Userstore for Identity.Entityframework uses.

User will be your user class

public class MyUserStore<TUser> : 
    IUserLoginStore<TUser, int>, 
    IUserClaimStore<TUser, int>, 
    IUserRoleStore<TUser, int>, 
    IUserPasswordStore<TUser, int>, 
    IUserSecurityStampStore<TUser, int>, 
    IUserStore<TUser, int>, 
    IDisposable where TUser : User
{
   //Implement the interfaces you need
}

Then pass your MyUserStore into the UserManager each request

new UserManager<User, int>(new MyUserStore<User>(new MyContext()))

Answer 2

You can grab UserStore.cs template from the following project on GitHub and tweak it as you like, it will allow you to get rid of the dependency on Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.
