WebAPI Forms Authentication for Devices

0.00/5 (No votes)

Hi,
I have a MVC Project which works quite good so far. Now I've added a webAPI controller for getting particular data for devices. The controller uses the [Authorize] attribute. Now my question is how do I realize the login to access the controller from within a device? I do not want to redirect the user to a browser where he has to login first. I want to do the login directly from within the device app and use it for retrieving data.
