Configuring ASP.NET Identity to use MySQL - mysql

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2013 to develop a web forms application. I selected Authentication: Individual user accounts. I want the application including ASP Identity to use MySQL.
I added references to MySql.Data, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6, MySql.Web and have made the following changes to Web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="EkoPayMaster.Properties.Settings.EkoPayMasterConnectionString" connectionString="server=localhost;user id=root;persistsecurityinfo=True;database=paymaster" />
</connectionStrings>
<membership defaultProvider="MySqlMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="MySqlMembershipProvider" type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLMembershipProvider, MySql.Web" connectionStringName="EkoPayMasterConnectionString" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" autogenerateschema="true" />
</providers>
</membership>
<profile>
<providers>
<clear />
<add type="MySql.Web.Security.MySqlProfileProvider, MySql.Web" name="MySqlProfileProvider" applicationName="/" connectionStringName="EkoPayMasterConnectionString" autogenerateschema="true" />
</providers>
</profile>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MySqlRoleProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add connectionStringName="EkoPayMasterConnectionString" applicationName="/" name="MySqlRoleProvider" type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLRoleProvider, MySql.Web" autogenerateschema="true" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
<entityFramework>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"></remove>
<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.8.3.0" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
When I run the application, I am able to register a user and log in. However, ASP Identity does not create the necessary user tables is the MySql database.
What do I need to do to have the application add the tables/user information into MySql?

First of all, as I know, you must use exactly the same connection string name you gave in connectionStrings/add name in all your providers' connectionStringName attributes.
