title: Basic authentication in ASP.NET MVC 5
body: <p>What steps must be done to implement basic authentication in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET_MVC_Framework" rel="noreferrer">ASP.NET MVC</a> 5?</p>
  
  <p>I have read that OWIN does not support cookieless authentication, so is basic authentication generally possible?</p>
  
  <p>Do I need a custom attribute here? I am not sure about how these attributes work.</p>
