I am trying to tie my ASP .NET IDENTITY to a Membership Provider.
ASP .NET Identity requires the authentication module removed in web .config, and the authentication mode set to none.
Does Membership Provider (boxed, or custom) require any of the two to work?
You have to use Forms for forms authentication.

We have an existing Asp.Net Webforms application with Forms based authentication. Now, we need to integrate OAuth providers(Google,FB,LinkedIn) for authenticating users. Can we use Owin security providers without disabling forms based authentication in Webforms application?
All articles on internet suggest to use owin cookie based authentication by disabling FBA modules. It will be a major work for us if need to remove FBA module for this at this time. Is there a way we could still use forms authentication and use the owin security providers only for OAuth?
Note:
We are aware about DotNetOpenAuth providers and it can satisfy our needs. But wanted to check if we can use owin security providers with forms authentication.
Thanks in advance!

How can I integrate IdentityServer3 (OpenID Connect Provider and OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Framework)
that is based on OWIN middleware with a web forms asp.net 4.6 application like DNN CMS with its own membership provider.
I would like to provide Custom Store implementation for IdentityServer3 to manager/pick DNN's users, roles, claims.
Essentially I would like to know how can an OWIN based application interact (share some of the run time data (context) with a Web Forms Asp.net application.
Are we dealing with completely isolated pipelines here if I install Identity Server under the same web application?
DotNetNuke uses a membership provider which is heavily based on the asp.net equivalent, but extends and alters it to support some additional functionality and be aware of DotNetNuke concepts such as portal isolation.You can read about the enhancements made from the asp.net provider here.
DNN would need to support external authentications from an OIDC IdP.
I have started to create ASP.NET membership for learning basis but i found new ASP.NET Identity. Some people suggested that latter is advanced than ASP.NET membership and ASP.NET simple membership.
I have read the comparison from this source. But still i have some questions because i some things are still unclear to me.
Can i use owin and oauth with ASP.NET membership and simple membership?
how i can authenticate web api with ASP.NET membership and simple membership?
Can i customize tables for profile, user and role in ASP.NET Identity?
Please suggest. If any one can suggest me a good reference for authorization and authentication of web API and ASP.NET Identity configuration, it would be great.
ASP.NET Identity is now a mature technology and it's complex enough to accommodate all your requirements.
More than so, there is even a better solution, it's called ASP.NET Identity Server and comes with couple things extra:
Can be used with Identity
Implements SSO (Single Sign-On)
Can be used with Entity Framework
It's a self host product
So to answer you're questions:
No, you cannot use both Identity and Simple Membership.
Using ASP.NET Identity Server, via a token.
You can customize the tables to meet you requirements.
Here is the official documentation for the Identity Server.
What is the difference between Simple Membership and Membership in asp.net? Is Simple Membership introduced in mvc 4.0?
ASP.NET membership was the traditional approach for authentication, authorization from the microsoft team.But, with the release of mvc 4, they introduced new improved version with name Simple Membership.Simple membership relies on Extended Membership Provider
Behind the scenes, the SimpleMembershipProvider and the ExtendedMembershipProvider, as well as DotNetOpenAuth are all at work.
These changes was the need, because many web sites no longer want to store user credentials locally. Instead, they want to use OAuth and OpenID so someone else is responsible for keeping passwords safe, and people coming to the site have one less password to invent (or one less place to share an existing password). With these changes it is easy to authenticate a user via Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, or Google. All you need to do is plugin the right keys.
Summary:
1)SimpleMembership has been designed as a replacement for the previous ASP.NET Role and Membership provider system.
2)SimpleMembership solves common problems developers ran into with the Membership provider system and was designed for modern user / membership / storage needs.
3)SimpleMembership integrates with the previous membership system, but you can't use a MembershipProvider with SimpleMembership.
4)The new ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet application template AccountController requires SimpleMembership and is not compatible with previous MembershipProviders.
5)You can continue to use existing ASP.NET Role and Membership providers in ASP.NET 4.5 and ASP.NET MVC 4 - just not with the ASP.NET MVC 4 AccountController.
6)The existing ASP.NET Role and Membership provider system remains supported, as it is part of the ASP.NET core.
7)ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms does not use SimpleMembership; it implements OAuth on top of ASP.NET Membership.
Hope, you got the clear concept of your question.
I have an ASP.NET project that has a forms authentication provider which works great. Is there a way to make a second project use the same forms authentication provider?
I'm not familiar with ASP.NET authentication so any reference to what I'm trying to do and why it can or can't be done would be great!
