Always getting anonymous identity using OpenAccessMembership - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I hav to use both the lagacy and default membership provider on the site. So I enabled the OpenAccessMembership37Provider in sitefinity's backend.

After I've managed to imort the users from an old sitefinity site into the the new, I encountered a rather strange issue:

I am actually able to log in using an imported user's credentials. I use a trial-and-error approach to find out about the provider to use:

User user = null;

UserLoggingReason result;

var providerName = UserManager.GetDefaultProviderName();

var userId = SecurityManager.GetUserId(providerName, input.UserName);

if (userId.Equals(Guid.Empty))

providerName = "OpenAccessMembership37Provider";

userId = SecurityManager.GetUserId(providerName, input.UserName);

if (userId.Equals(Guid.Empty)) result = UserLoggingReason.Unknown;

else

result = SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(

providerName,

input.UserName,

input.Password,

input.RememberMe,

out user);

The setup in my web.config is:

<membership defaultProvider="Default">

<providers>

<clear />

<add name="Default" type="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Data.SitefinityMembershipProvider, Telerik.Sitefinity" />

<add name="OpenAccessMembership37Provider" type="Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Migration.Security.Data.OpenAccessMembership37Provider, Telerik.Sitefinity.Migration"/>

</providers>

</membership>

Not sure if this is a good setup.
Now, authenticated as a user in the legacy provider, I get the correct Identity via ClaimsManager.GetCurrentIdentity() in any control as long as it is situated on a page that hasn't been visited before, since a restart of the site. When I visit a page having been already rendered before the login, ClaimsManager.GetCurrentIdentity() returns anonymous.

So I've been looking arround for a possibility to try out both providers when retrieving the current identity (similar to the login procedure), but havent found so far. My best guess was this might be a type of a caching issue, but if so, why does this work with the default provider? Is there something wrong with my setup?
