I have two authenticate users in two ways:
In MVC 3/4 I was able to accomplish this by implementing a custom membership provider and custom role provider.
Is the same possible in MVC 5 using OWIN and Identity and how can it be done?

ASP.NET Identity Tutorial – OWIN Authentication Middleware The OWIN authentication middleware is used for authenticating users. In older ASP.NET Applications, we used Forms authentication module to authenticate the users into our application. When a user logs in his credentials are verified by querying the information from the data store.
Show activity on this post. In essence a mixed mode is a forms authentication with a windows authentication entry point, once the user gets passed it, the normal forms authentication flow takes place. So for windows authentication to work, I have to rely on one of the provided hosts, either IIS or Self-host (System.Net.HttpListener).
The OWIN authentication middleware replaces the Forms Authentication module. The OWIN authentication middleware can issue authentication cookies on its own or it can use the external logins like facebook, google, twitter etc to do that.
Configuration method is where all the configuration related information of all our OWIN middleware must be added. Change the class definition to partial. Call the method ConfigureAuth (app) inside the Configuration in the startup.cs.

Enabling Windows Authentication in Katana
Katana does not currently provide OWIN middleware for Windows Authentication, because this functionality is already available in the servers
So for windows authentication to work, I have to rely on one of the provided hosts, either IIS or Self-host (System.Net.HttpListener).
I made a solution that makes it look like an external provider, mapping windows identities as external logins.
