In my project, I have three solutions :

  • ASP.NET MVC 5 website (is completed)
  • WEB API 2 MVC 5
  • Model Library(shared between website & web api)

I use the framework Entity & Identity (in website project & web api project) so I have my users in my database with theirs information. Now I'am currently developing Web Api but I don't know how the authentication can be the same than my website.

Where can I configure my web api project to authorize that ? I put the same connection string and I have installed Identity to my web api project.

  • First, you should implement EntityFramework DbContext or IdentityDbContext in a separate class library and then reference that to MVC and Web API projects. After that, you should create and implement your custom IdentityConfig class in each project. Commented Dec 9, 2017 at 14:52
