Should authentication tables of CMS and Commerce be on the same database?
I don't think you can move the tables, but Commerce can use the "membership provider" from CMS, as long as you have the right configuration, for example in your Startup:
app.AddCmsAspNetIdentity<SiteUser>(new ApplicationOptions
{
ConnectionStringName = _connectionStringHandler.Cms.Name
});
this is assuming you are using Aspnetidentity. The configuration for ASP.NET Membership is in web.config

I am working on the top of Alloy which has edit-mode authentication in CMS database. I have added commerce to it and my user authentication is in commerce database. I want to keep a single login page for CMS and front end. Should I move the identity tables to CMS? What is the best approach for it?
When I changed the database to CMS, I'm getting model compatibility error.
Model compatibility cannot be checked because the database does not contain model metadata. Model compatibility can only be checked for databases created using Code First or Code First Migrations.
