Re: Azure Websites WebAPI Authentication
I think it depends on your requirement. What I am going to do is use Basic Authentication combined with Https. Something like http://remy.supertext.ch/2012/04/basic-http-authorization-for-web-api-in-mvc-4-beta/ Craig On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 9:55 AM, Greg Low (GregLow.com) g...@greglow.comwrote: Hi Folks, ** ** What’s the best way to provide authentication for REST services exposed by MVC4 WebAPI within Windows Azure Websites? ** ** Regards, ** ** Greg ** ** Dr Greg Low CEO and Principal Mentor *SQL Down Under*** SQL Server MVP and Microsoft Regional Director 1300SQLSQL (1300 775 775) office | +61 419201410 mobile│ +61 3 8676 4913fax Web: www.sqldownunder.com * * ** **

Hi Craig, Yes, that was one I’d been reading. The issue is that I don’t think that Windows Azure Websites support SSL yet.

Re: Azure Websites WebAPI Authentication
Yes, I am not sure about web sites and SSL. I am running on Azure Web role, only websites for the basic stuff.
