I am in the process of migrating an existing ASP.NET c# webforms website to MVC 4.
I have extended the security database to include other tables (so that everything security-wise is in one place).
When I put the membership and roles configuration (as well as the SQL security connection) in the website route web.config file, the result is:
1) I can configure users and roles in the extended database using the 'ASP.NET Configuration' utility from the Project tab in Visual Studio.
2) When I run the site (on local server so far) then the website reverts back to the local security database in the APP_Data folder.
Is there a simple way to 'point up' MVC websites to use my security database held in SQLSERVER?
Reading to date suggests that there are different app and web config files, so please indicate clearly which configuration file you mean.
Many thanks for your consideration and help
