Connection with ASP.NET Identity and IdentityServer

Can someone explain the relationship between Identity and IdentityServer?

A recent article said that a new version of IdentityServer (i.e. IdentityServer 4) will appear.

I am doing an ASP.NET 5 project. I have only heard about Identity 3 before, and I plan to use it.

Can I use Identity 3 in my project without using this IdentityServer?

Can someone explain the relationship between Identity and IdentityServer?

No direct connection: ASP.NET Identity is a membership provider (i.e. a way to manage your users), while IdentityServer is an OAuth2 / OpenID Connect server that you can use to support token authentication.

However, IdentityServer4 ultimately supports ASP.NET Identity 3 as a membership repository.

Can I use Identity 3 in my project without using this IdentityServer?

Of course, you can use an ASP.NET identifier without an IdentityServer (and vice versa).
