Change ASP.NET Identity to use existing database

Question

I\'m using ASP.NET MVC 5 with a Database-First workflow. I\'ve created the Identity tables (AspNetUsers, AspNetRoles etc.) in my existing database

Answer 1

You can resolved this problem by following these steps:

• 1-create aspnetuser etc tables on your database (whatever DB you want to use)
• simply connect the application with that database not using entity framework, i'm saying just simple connection.

• you will find connection string in web.config file.

• place this connection string into identity model clsss

• your Register and Token methods now running
• now you can use entity framewoek for rest of your tables by data first approach

Answer 2

I THINK this scenario is not supported by ASP.NET Identity as it needs a DbContext which extends IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser> (or similar).

Why are you forcing Identity into your DB-First context?
You can use a Code-First context for Identity alongside your other DB-First context without problems...
