Working on my first ASP.NET 4.6 MVC project and the first thing I need to accomplish is custom login functionality. I'm migrating an app from classic ASP that uses it's own set of tables and session variables for authentication. I want to keep these same
tables but use best practices for ASP.NET MVC for actually logging in the user and maintaining that state. The entire Identity system is overkill, I'm not looking for a fully managed system with it's own database tables and functionality.
I really just need some pointers on how I'd implement my own login functionality so I can take advantage of the [Authorize] attribute in my MVC project.
