I’m building an AngularJS Single-Page App using the latest VS2015 Community and ASP.NET 5 etc…
The problem I’m now having while trying to implement an Authentication is that I need to use these two Namespaces:
Microsoft.AspNet.Identity //Version 3.0.0-beta4 Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin //Version 2.2.1
but since Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin has a dependency with
Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core
I keep getting ambiguous reference issues, for example for UserManager which exists in both Microsoft.AspNet.Identity and Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core .
Has anyone else dealt with this before?
Is it a version incompatibility issue or just the not complete Owin ASP.NET 5 implementation?

Method 1
The Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin package is part of ASP.NET Identity 2, not the newest version shipped with ASP.NET 5. Trying to reference it will download ASP.NET Identity 2 and cause the weird error you’re experiencing.
Just reference Microsoft.AspNet.Identity and it should work.
