Cookie Authentication

Cookie authentication is similar to forms authentication, but it can be used by OWIN applications. As an example, we create an ASP.NET web application with MVC template, then

• install package Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb
• install package Microsoft.Owin.Security.Cookies
• create Startup.cs

public class Startup {
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app) {
        ConfigureOAuth(app);
    }
    public void ConfigureOAuth(IAppBuilder app) {
        app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions {
            AuthenticationType = "AppCookie",
            LoginPath = new PathString("/Home/Login"),
        });
    }
}

• create a login form
