OWIN/Katana & BasicAuthentication


c# asp.net asp.net-web-api katana

First of all you should consider NOT doing basic authentication directly - but rather use the OAuth2 authorization server approach - read this first:

If you still want to do basic auth - then in this repo you will find an implementation for Katana:

https://github.com/thinktecture/Thinktecture.IdentityModel/tree/master/source/Thinktecture.IdentityModel.Owin

nuget: Thinktecture.IdentityModel.Owin

c# asp.net asp.net-web-api katana

For those looking for a streamlined way of doing basic auth using Web API+OWIN+Katana, use the excellent Thinktecture.IdentityModel.Owin.BasicAuthentication library.
