    <p>I am using MVC 4 Web Api and I want the users to be authenticated, before using my service.</p> <p>I have implemented an authorization message handler, that works just fine.</p> <pre><code>public class AuthorizationHandler : DelegatingHandler { private readonly AuthenticationService _authenticationService = new AuthenticationService(); protected override Task&lt;HttpResponseMessage&gt; SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { IEnumerable&lt;string&gt; apiKeyHeaderValues = null; if (request.Headers.TryGetValues("X-ApiKey", out apiKeyHeaderValues)) { var apiKeyHeaderValue = apiKeyHeaderValues.First(); // ... your authentication logic here ... var user = _authenticationService.GetUserByKey(new Guid(apiKeyHeaderValue)); if (user != null) { var userId = user.Id; var userIdClaim = new Claim(ClaimTypes.SerialNumber, userId.ToString()); var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(new[] { userIdClaim }, "ApiKey"); var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity); Thread.CurrentPrincipal = principal; } } return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken); } } </code></pre> <p>The problem is, that I use forms authentication.</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Login(UserModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var user = _authenticationService.Login(model); if (user != null) { // Add the api key to the HttpResponse??? } return View(model); } return View(model); } </code></pre> <p>When I call my api:</p> <pre><code> [Authorize] public class TestController : ApiController { public string GetLists() { return "Weee"; } } </code></pre> <p>The handler can not find the X-ApiKey header.</p> <p>Is there a way to add the user's api key to the http response header and to keep the key there, as long as the user is logged in? Is there another way to implement this functionality?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
