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?

Answer 1

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.
