I have a large project that is running on .Net 4.6.2 MVC. I used the now defunct MembershipReboot.

I would like to port site over to .Net Core and Asp.Net core. My thinking is that it will be a lot easier to port if I move from Membership Reboot to AspNet Identity before porting to core 2.0. Then work out the DB changes etc.

My question is how similar is the AspNet Identity setup in the VS2017 sample site, to what I will need to setup in Asp.Net core when I port? Obviously an Asp.Net Web Application is setup totally different than a Asp.Net Core Web Application, but is the Identity part the same? Same DB setup, etc?

Thanks, ~S
