Hi All: I have a dozen legacy webforms websites sharing an old ASP.NET Framework 2 Membership and Roles database for authentication. All the websites are running under .NET 4 app pools on the same webserver.
I have several new sites being developed in MVC 5, and it's proving problematic to make them use the old membership system. Eventually most of the old websites will be converted to MVC as well, but this may take some time.
As I see it I have a couple of options:
- Continue to try to force the new MVC websites to work with the old membership model
- Update the old websites to use a newer membership model
If I wanted to go with the second option, I assume my choices would be Simple Membership or Identity for authentication. How difficult is it to migrate from Members/Roles to Identity? Am I better off trying to get everything (new and old websites) to use Simple Membership, and then migrate to Identity later on?
Any opinion would be appreciated!
