Authentication Middleware for OWIN
Microsoft has just shipped 2.0 of its components supporting the OWIN standard. Part of that release includes a set of NuGet packages with middleware that can be used to implement web applications security. The advantage of being OWIN based is that the same code can be used on IIS or self-hosted, and across different web frameworks even in the same app domain. In this session we’ll take a look at how you can add “Forms Auth†style cookie login to a new or existing project then augment that with social logins like Google, Facebook, or Twitter. We’ll also take a look at how the OAuth2 package enables third-party applications to gain bearer-token access to the API endpoints your web site exposes.
