Can I use Microsoft.IdentityModel in a ASP.NET 5.0 Application

Hello

We had different applications which use Microsoft.IdentityModel (version 6.1.7600.16394) for authentication (claim based). Now we like to write a new application using ASP.Net 5.0 with MVC 6.0. In the past we wrote applications with MVC 5.

Is there a way to use the "Microsoft.IdentityModel"? Where I have to configure all the stuff from the old web.config?

Many thanks for your answer.

Regards

Chris
