How to Use ASP.NET Identity with your own Custom Table

Question

I have a very simple table that has UserID as int Password as text and Roles as text(comma separated). Can i customize ASP.NET Identity structure to use it with my table?

Answer 1

Yes, you can make Identity work with your structure. You'll have to implement IPasswordValidator to take whatever hashing (I hope it is hashed) is used for your password. Also you'll have to implement IUserStore to point to your table. And IUserRoleStore also have to be implemented to take roles from your CSV list.
