Cookie in web api

Question

User52625461 posted

Hello All,

I am registering the user using below method and sign in into  the application using same method

[AllowAnonymous]
        [Route("Register")]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Register(RegisterBindingModel model)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return BadRequest(ModelState);
            }

            var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };

            IdentityResult result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);

            if (!result.Succeeded)
            {
                return GetErrorResult(result);
            }
            else
            {
                 await SignInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: true, rememberBrowser: true);
            }
          }

            return Ok();
        }

This method I intend to call from mvc controller and angular js controller(mobile app).

So my question is on which point should I sign-in the user(in mvc, angular js controller OR in web api ONLY) and also where should I store the user in the cookie.

Because as per above logic above cookie cannot be used in angular js app ?? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the help !

Hi Rohit Pundlik,

I think you could refer to the following tutorials to learn Two-factor authentication:
