title: MySql Identity with MVC 5
body: <p>I created a new MVC 5 application with .NET Framework 4.6.1 with VS 2017.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm using a MySql database and I want the baked in Identity functionality to work with this version of my project.</p>
  
  <p>However, I can only find this older example which does work if I create a 4.5.1 project even using VS 2017.  I haven't been lucky in finding other solutions.  </p>

  <p>Is there another way to implement this in MVC 5 without having to revert to 4.5.1?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
