UserStore with my own database

Question

I'm trying to use my own SQL Server database to store the user permissions.

I initialize the UserStore with my context like this (I tried with the default constructor also)

UserManagerFactory = () => new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>(new DbEpicerieEntities()));

Then I created an empty database and generated the data model for entity.

Then I changed the web config for my connection

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.EpicerieModel.csdl|res://*/Models.EpicerieModel.ssdl|res://*/Models.EpicerieModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=localhost;initial catalog=DbEpicerie;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

But it doesn't work. If I try to register a user, after

IdentityResult result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user);

it will call

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    if (disposing)
    {
       UserManager.Dispose();
    }

    base.Dispose(disposing);
}

I tried to use a database with tables already made, but I have the same result.

I tried to change the connection name for DefaultConnection but no success.

I tried the recommendations on that question and I changed DbContext to IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser>

public partial class DbEpicerieEntities : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser>
    {
        public DbEpicerieEntities()
            : base("DefaultConnection")
        {
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            throw new UnintentionalCodeFirstException();
        }

    }

but I have the same problem.

I don't know if the EntityFramework setting in the web config could be the problem

<entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

Thank you

Can you post your MyContext class? An attempt you can make is to change your first code snippet to use your DbEpicerieEntities class instead of the MyContext class.

UserManagerFactory = () => new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>(new DbEpicerieEntities()));

Using the following connection string solved the problem for me :

<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Epicerie;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
