I successfully implemented my custom OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider . But when I log in and retrieve a token, my client doesn't have any idea of the user's roles, claims, etc. I currently added a webapi controller to return the list of the principal's claims, but I'm not really happy with that. When requesting a token, the current response looks like: { access_token: "qefelgrebjhzefilrgo4583535", token_type: "bearer", expires_in: 59 } Q> How can make it return something like the following snippet? { access_token: "qefelgrebjhzefilrgo4583535", token_type: "bearer", expires_in: 59, user: {

In ASP.NET MVC WebAPI project by default we have created following controller public class ValuesController : ApiController { // GET api/values public IEnumerable<string> Get() { return new string[] { "value1", "value2" }; } // GET api/values/5 public string Get(int id) { return "value"; } // POST api/values public void Post([FromBody]string value) { } // PUT api/values/5 public void Put(int id, [FromBody]string value) { } // DELETE api/values/5 public void Delete(int id) { } } But is possible to add here any custom methods so they can support get/post as well? Thank you! You can use

I have an api specific project in a large .net MVC 5 web solution. I am utilizing the WebApi2 templates out of the box to authenticate a user through the api. Using individual accounts to authenticate, the request body required to get an access token is: grant_type=password&username={someuser}&password={somepassword} This works as expected. However, I need to add a 3rd dimension to the scaffolded method "GrantResourceOwnerCredentials". In addition to checking the username/password, i need to add a device id, which is meant to restrict access from a user account to a specific device. What's not

Is there a way to display all enums as their string value in swagger instead of their int value? I want to be able to submit POST actions and put enums according to their string value without having to look at the enum every time.
