I've created an empty asp.net mvc5 project, used EF with code first approach. How can I add OWIN authentication and store Users and Roles in my created database? How can I customize OWIN authentication for my purpose?

  • Maybe my question is not clear enough. I try to explain. In my asp.net mvc5 empty project I used EF which generated DB for me.I want to add authentication functionality into my project. I read many articles how to work with Identity, but in all samples explained how to use local db and not existing db. I want to store information about Users in my existing DB not in local db.

  • I think your question is very valid. You can find some useful information in the link below, like adding the relevant NuGet packages and a script for creating the needed tables: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31960433/adding-asp-net-mvc5-identity-authentication-to-an-existing-project – AH.

Look into Microsoft's Identity framework. You can the Nuget package Identity EntityFramework to your project.
