MVC 5.0 Appnet Identity mixing Code First and Database First

I'm creating a new Web Application based on MVC 5. I have Database and would like to Use Database First workflow. I would like to Use Aspnet Identity new features, but they rely on Code First. Will it be possible to mix, so that i manage Authentication and Authorization with the new Aspnet Identity, and Database First for all the Business Logic Application?

Thanks

I'm trying to learn MVC and it is quickly pissing me off.

The way I solved this problem is to:

  1. In your main model, add you ADO.NET Entity Data Model
  2. In your web.config, change the defaultconnection to the database in MS-SQL.
  3. Enable-Migrations on your ApplicationDbContext

Yes, this means there are two connections to the database. I would love to hear on what is a better way.

I think mixing things isn't the best way. code first and data first they have a reason to be different, might be the best way to solve this is to use a database for the authentication process and another database for the busines logic, hope it helps you
