MVC application calling Web API application needing same user

Question

If I have an MVC application that has an authenticated user, and either from client-side JavaScript, or from an MVC controller, I wish to call a Web API that is in a different project to the MVC application, but use the same user credentials.

How would I go about this?

I am using the latest in VS2013 - MVC 5 with Web API 2. Currently to authenticate I am using forms auth.

How do I send the forms auth cookie to the web api?

Peter Over a year ago

You need to configure your applications to share the authentication cookie see. This as well as the proposed solution above assumes that the both projects (web sites) are on the same server (machine).
