Simplified example of controller using IAuthenticationManager

using Microsoft.Owin.Security;
using System.Web;    
//...other usings

public class AccountController : Controller {

    [HttpPost]
    [ActionName("Login")]
    public ActionResult Login(LoginViewModel model) {
        if (ModelState.IsValid) {
            string userName = (string)Session["UserName"];
            string[] userRoles = (string[])Session["UserRoles"];

            ClaimsIdentity identity = new ClaimsIdentity(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

            identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, userName));

            userRoles.ToList().ForEach((role) => identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, role)));

            identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, userName));

            AuthenticationManager.SignIn(identity);
            return RedirectToAction("Success");
        } else {
            return View("Login",model);
        }
    }

    private IAuthenticationManager AuthenticationManager {
        get {
            return HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication;
        }
    }    
}
