针对REST服务的Web API2身份验证

Question

We would like to use the new authorization/token system of Web API2 and have upgraded to MVC5/Web API2.

There is an internal REST API that does authentication already that we would like to reuse. Essentially it takes uid/pwd and some additional profile parameters and returns true/false.

Question: how to hook up an authentication filter against that service instead of the default Entity Framework 6 DB-based Identity store?

I looked at UserManager class and it is unclear this is the right path.
