title: ASP.NET MVC 3 Authentication/Authorization
body: <p>I am very new to ASP.NET MVC 3 (and MVC in general for that matter).  In ASP.NET Web Forms, I did authentication using Principals and Identities.  Is this the recommended way to do it in MVC or is there something newer?  I see a Membership class, but if I understand it correctly it is too heavyweight for what I need.</p>
  
  <p>Does any one have a good tutorial or site recommendation to help me out with this?  It can be comprehensive as I still don't have this stuff solidified. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
