Does Identity Owin require LazyLoading?

Question

tl;dr: Identity seems to require that LazyLoading NOT be disabled; is this true, and what is the cleanest workaround?

I did some basic A-B testing on a simple C# ASP

Answer 1

Yes this was a bug we have fixed in the 2.0.0-alpha1 release. With lazyLoading explicitly disabled prior, EF would not load the associated user entities automatically (logins/claims/roles)
