ASP.NET developers commonly use forms authentication to fix their web pages. Like ASP.NET web forms and ASP.NET MVC applications, Web API also can take advantage of forms authentication to execute authentication and security in asp.net.

In this post, we would explain how forms authentication is used in Web API being consumed in an MVC application.

The overall process of executing forms authentication remains the same in case of Web API too. However, there are a few points that you need to keep in mind.

Web API doesn’t log-in or log-out a user by itself. This matter is taken care by the underlying web application – whether it is web forms application or MVC application.

Generally, a user logs into the application using some web form or a view created to serve the purpose and then proceeds to call a Web API. The Web API action methods can find the authentication status of a user, his membership information and also his role information.

Configure SQL Server

Membership features of ASP.NET require certain database tables and stored procedures. To configure SQL server database for enabling application services (membership, roles, profiles) you use aspnet_regsql.exe command line tool. You can also let ASP.NET configure and create a new LocalDb database for you if you don’t want to use an existing database.

The <authentication> section sets the mode of authentication and in this case, it is set to Forms. The <forms> tag configures the loginUrl and defaultUrl attributes to ~/home/login and ~/home/index respectively. The loginUrl feature indicates URL of the login page whereas defaultUrl feature indicates URL of the default page.

If you haven’t configured a database to reserve membership information and don’t want to use an existing database, select PROJECT > ASP.NET Configuration to unlock Website Administration Tool.
