title: ASP.NET Web API + ASP.NET MVC + ASP.NET Identity + AngularJS
body: <p>I am new to AngularJS. I need to develop a Web API (ASP.NET) which will be consumed by an Android, iPhone and a Web Application. I want to build the web application using ASP.NET MVC to use the built in routing and razor view engine.</p>
  
  <p>The first problem I am facing is how to add security to my Web API and ASP.NET MVC in a way that they work together or use the same auth token (ASP.NET Identity). For example web application will display a login page to the user, AngularJS will send back-end login call to Web API and in return will get an auth token as ASP.NET Identity is being used on Web API side. Now whenever user requests a resource/view/html from web application (ASP.NET MVC), he/she should be authenticated and authorized first.</p>
  
  <p>If my login call go through the ASP.NET MVC controller action and I create a FormAuthentication cookie on a successfull login, then how can I pass the Web API auth token to AngularJS in a secure way so that my angular controllers can call Web API methods for data manipulation using that auth token?</p>
  
  <p>It would be great if someone could refer a blog/article with example.</p>
