Shoe your solution above pushed me toward a direction that worked for me on MVC6-Beta3 Identityframework7-Beta3 EntityFramework7-Beta3:

// POST: /Account/Login
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl = null)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return View(model);
    }

    //
    // Check for user existance in Identity Framework
    //
    ApplicationUser applicationUser = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(model.eID);
    if (applicationUser == null)
    {
        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid username");
        return View(model);
    }

    //
    // Authenticate user credentials against Active Directory
    //
    bool isAuthenticated = await Authentication.ValidateCredentialsAsync(
        _applicationSettings.Options.DomainController, 
        _applicationSettings.Options.DomainControllerSslPort, 
        model.eID, model.Password);
    if (isAuthenticated == false)
    {
        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid username or password.");
        return View(model);
    }

    //
    // Signing the user step 1.
    //
    IdentityResult identityResult 
        = await _userManager.CreateAsync(
            applicationUser, 
            cancellationToken: Context.RequestAborted);

    if(identityResult != IdentityResult.Success)
    {
        foreach (IdentityError error in identityResult.Errors)
        {
            ModelState.AddModelError("", error.Description);
        }
        return View(model);
    }

    //
    // Signing the user step 2.
    //
    await _signInManager.SignInAsync(applicationUser,
        isPersistent: false,
        authenticationMethod:null,
        cancellationToken: Context.RequestAborted);

    return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
}
