Authentication and authorization ASP.NET Web API from another Web API Application

Question

Hi everyone I have an issue, I have one Asp.NET Web.API application with User management functionality from example Create User manage User Permissions ect, and now I have developed another Web.API application and I need to implement authentication and authorization via first application users credentials. What is the best approach or solution to achieve this goal? Note that in first app I changed the classic Role base Authorization into Permission based.

Thanks in advance for any help.

In case possible separate authentication as a separate service and implement token based authentication. — Kalyan

There are several ways you can achieve token based authentication. My preference is to use OAuth using ASP.net identity server. github.com/IdentityServer — Kalyan

There are a lot of ways to implement the solution. One way is use to token-based authentication using Identity Server.

You could test my sample code at GitHub.

Please note that it uses InMemory Identity Database with hard-coded username and password for testing. You could replace with real Identity Database easily.

I had a similar issue so I moved all of my authentication and authorization into an IHTTP Module. This allowed me to set the applications module in IIS 7.0. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227673.aspx
