Hello

Im having problems updating EPiServer to version 9.5. After the upgrade I get a error when running the site.
The error I get is "Default Membership Provider must be specified.", but I use federated security so I have no membership provider.

I can reproduce the error in the Alloy project using the configuration/code from http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/9/Security/federated-security/. It works in version 9.2 of the Alloy project, but not after upgrade to 9.5.

The error seems to be related to EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Notifications.ProjectMessageNotifier.
The error I get is:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Default Membership Provider must be specified.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: Default Membership Provider must be specified.
