Custom MVC 4 Membership Provider Template

What I want to do is use the default MVC template that just comes with Visual Studio 2012 as the base for my new project. However, I want to replace the SQL provider with a custom membership provider so that I can access my RavenDB to get my users. I implemented a custom provider as before, but WebSecurity methods throw the following exception.

This line of code:

ViewBag.HasLocalPassword = OAuthWebSecurity.HasLocalAccount (WebSecurity.GetUserId (User.Identity.Name));

In particular, the method:

WebSecurity.GetUserId

Throws this exception:

You must call the "WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection" method before you call any other method of the "WebSecurity" class. This call should be placed in the _AppStart.cshtml file in the root of your site.

Now I can not call InitializeDatabaseConnection, because my provider is not a SQL provider. This method expects the SQL provider and SQL connection string. Is this a common problem or am I missing something? Why should WebSecurity be initialized and why does it only wait for connectivity using the SQL provider?

Do I just need to change the code to not use the WebSecurity class?

I have been here all day and am pretty tired. I hope I haven’t missed anything simple. Maybe another rum and coke will help ...
