Thanks, will check those out. I eventually found a good article explaining the history of each and turns out this project already is using it. I do have another that I need to upgrade at some stage. It comes down to when you created it (and which was in the template you used at the time)

It can be as complicated or as simple as you want it but I guess there is a lot to learn when starting from scratch and you are not sure what you are doing. So here are some articles I found useful in my research. This history of where it came from. http://www.codemag.com/Article/1309101 The basics http://benfoster.io/blog/aspnet-identity-stripped-bare-mvc-part-1 http://benfoster.io/blog/aspnet-identity-stripped-bare-mvc-part-2 Creating your own storage providers http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/extensibility/overview-of-custom-storage-providers-for-aspnet-identity The bare bare minimum. http://www.khalidabuhakmeh.com/asp-net-mvc-5-authentication-breakdown-part-deux Sorry I don’t have any articles that directly deal with Azure and Active directory (Federation Services) as it was not required for my project. Although to validate against active directory I have followed the bare minimum guide and made use of the PrincipalContext to validate the username and password against active directory. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb154889(v=vs.110).aspx I hope that helps.

Noticed they changed the membership stuff for MVC websites so did some reading and found the new stuff is called SimpleMembership. But then I find there's something else called Asp.Net Identity which works with Azure and AD. So now I've no idea which I should be going with (all my sites live in Azure currently). Once I decide which to use I'll need to migrate my current app to it. Anyone done that (I did it once for another site to SimpleMembership but don't think I kept the steps I followed). Or would it be easier to start over from a new MVC template and move my code over? I've not released this site so can just blow away the database stuff (ie no need to mess about with Migration scripts/code just yet). Did some searches but not found anything yet. Is it really that new? cheers Stephen
