My question is how do I seed users and ro

Answer 1

Looks like they changes the way authentication works in MVC5, changed my Global.asax.cs to the following did the trick!

using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Optimization;
using System.Web.Routing;

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using MvcAuth.Models;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;

namespace MvcAuth
{
    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        async Task AddRoleAndUser()
        {
            AuthenticationIdentityManager IdentityManager = new AuthenticationIdentityManager(
                new IdentityStore(new ApplicationDbContext()));

            var role = new Role("Role1");
            IdentityResult result = await IdentityManager.Roles.CreateRoleAsync(role, CancellationToken.None);
            if (result.Success == false)
                return false;

            var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = "user1" };
            result = await IdentityManager.Users.CreateLocalUserAsync(user, "Password1");
            if (result.Success == false)
                return false;

            result = await IdentityManager.Roles.AddUserToRoleAsync(user.Id, role.Id, CancellationToken.None);
            return result.Success;
        }

        protected async void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
            bool x = await AddRoleAndUser();
        }
    }
}
