• 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 doesnt 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
  dont want to use an existing database.

• The ltauthenticationgt section sets the mode of
  authentication and in this case, it is set to
  Forms. The ltformsgt 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 havent configured a database to reserve
  membership information and dont want to use an
  existing database, select PROJECT gt ASP.NET
  Configuration to unlock Website Administration
  Tool.
