ASP.Net Identity 2 is just that, easy and extensible membership.
Owin requests also give you what you're asking for also.
Don't like the S, change it? lowercaseroutes=true.

Oh, and just to be snarky, the "programmers who don't understand HTTP" were lead by Henrik Nielsen, author of the HTTP spec, used to work for Tim Berners-Lee. ;)
(noticed some changes on their website recently)
I wanted to use it to implement my API, but i got kinda "scared" knowing that Netflix changed from OData to something else. Any examples of popular API's using OData for example?
For narrower apps, I'd make a web api but consider using just the OData query string formats (filter, sort) for flexibility.
Internal API = OData (= data layer)
External API = WebAPI with OData methods (=service layer, which brings the endpoint data to 3rd parties)
And because it's an internal API, it's a reason why you don't see it a lot in public API's (SAP uses it intensively though)
Thanks :)
I don't know about easy, but it definitely doesn't look simple, judging by examples.

There are a lot of abstractions that don't represent anything outside of the framework itself, and a lot of components that interact in non-obvious ways. Also, it seems like finding integration points requires quite a bit of knowledge about how Identity 2 works.
The fact that there doesn't seem to be a coherent set of definitive/official documentation describing what and how it works doesn't help either.
And just because you can make a car doesn't make you a great race-driver ;)
EDIT: WTF is going on with downvotes this week? If you don't agree with me, reply, don't down-vote.
A spec designer of HTML, which no sane person can claim isn't riddled with bad design decisions, is not magically a great programmer too
With an account that old you should know better -- downvotes are perfectly fine for disagreement. This is not Reddit.
Maybe we're just from different timezones.
It's because of what you said about ASP.NET. I have not been coming to HN that long, but from what I have seen, just about any comment that criticizes Apple, popular windows software, or praises open source alternatives to closed source immediately are met with a barrage of down votes.
edit: and just to clarify, it's not uncommon to see posts on the front page that appear to praise an open source alternative, but anytime you read the comments, the first one is almost always someone who claims that the open source version still isn't ready because it doesn't have that one feature that everybody needs. I know I'm going to sound like a kook, but I would not be surprised in the least if at least 15% of the active HN user base are "shill" accounts controlled by teams that are controlled by different entities. Would HN be a target for operations like this? I think so. There are quite a few high-profile people who regularly come here, and manipulating the opinions of those people are probably in the interests of many organizations. Making sure switching to open source software that isn't distributed by MS or Apple isn't a bold move but a dumb move is in the interest both corporations.
I downvoted because I want to keep discussions civil and technical. Questioning peoples competency because they name a directory '~/Script' instead of '~/js' or whatever just won't fly here.
This isn't slashdot. You'll get used to it.
