title: Any tutorials on creating an MVC3 login system without the default ASP.Net membership providers?
body: <p>I'm looking for a tutorial or small introductory guide on creating a login system for ASP.Net MVC3 without using the default ASP.Net membership provider.</p>
  
  <p>I've created a new MVC3 project with the Internet Application template, and here is the contents of _LogOnPartial.cshtml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@if(Request.IsAuthenticated) {
      &lt;text&gt;Welcome &lt;strong&gt;@User.Identity.Name&lt;/strong&gt;!
      [ @Html.ActionLink("Log Off", "LogOff", "Account") ]&lt;/text&gt;
  }
  else {
      @:[ @Html.ActionLink("Log On", "LogOn", "Account") ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is <code>@User.Identity.Name</code> part of the membership provider? I'd like to read some more on membership on ASP.Net MVC3, since I already have a database in place with user credentials, I do not need the prapackaged one.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
