Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I'm trying to learn the identity framework by unravelling the pre-installed code. Obviously like previous security models, the framework is highly dependent on EF and a separate user database. However, what happens if you already have a user database with user names and passwords and would simply prefer to query that database to authenticate users with those credentials. How is this accomplished? I assume the user is validated against the credentials in the database and then the OWIN middleware is instructed to issue the authentication cookie, but I haven't found an example of how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
