User Authentication with MVC 5, without EF

Question

I am trying to upgrade an old asp.net app (not the Database), to an MVC 5 application. I've select to use Individual account authentication, and cant seem to find a way of decoupling, the EF requirements. Not sure if it even possible, but how can one use ASP.NET Identity without the overheads of EF?

What is everyone else using?

You can use plain old Forms Authentication if you want to. You'll just have to wire it all up yourself. — Sam

Hi Sam, i'd like to take advantage of the Claims, can this be achieved using Forms Authentication? — CSharpNewBee

Sorry, I've only used traditional Forms Authentication with roles. Don't know how claims fit in. — Sam

You have to provide an own implementation of the IUserStore<TApplicationUser> interface. Then update the generated default constructor for the AccountController to use your own implementation instead of the default EF based one.

Anders, can you direct me to any documentation, i'm relatively new to this, and want to fully grasp your suggestion. Cheers

There some good stuff written by @OdeToCode at odetocode.com/blogs/scott/archive/2013/11/25/….

Ok Anders, you've led me to some serious reading :-) One question I have. Having spent the last couple of hrs researching the above site, am I correct in assuming that I need to roll all my database table (none user related) into then EF model? The reason I ask, is that I want to register and authenticate a user, but then use Dapper to provide data back to my MVC app, plus to a mobile app via Web Api 2. From some example from Scott, he seems to roll everything into the same localDb, which i don't want to do if possible

Did you solve this problem? Can you share the source code if you did? I'm currently trying to write Asp.Net.Identity.Dapper
