There is a typo in text version of video
You have mentioned that to enable basic authentication through entire app you need to add line
config.Filters.Add(new RequireHttpsAttribute());


But the correct line should be :
config.Filters.Add(new

Thanks For your time .. you are the best on YouTube

Your tutorials are excellent and comprehensive, thank you. I have a question with this lesson.
When using the BasicAuthentication attribute with RequireHttps attribute, the result of the GET request is a redirect and then a 401, even with proper credentials. Removing the RequireHttps attribute allows the authentication to work properly.
Are the credentials being lost in the redirect?
Is there something that should be added to the RequireHttpsAttribute class?

You don't need to go the the decode/encode website. Using Fiddler, go to Tools/TextWizard... and put your username:password in there (female:female or male:male per the tutorial). Also NOTE when talking about applying the BasicuAuthenticationAttribute filter in WebApiConfig, otherwise your http request will go unauthorized.

When we use RequireHttpsAttribute and BasicAuthenticationAttribute attribute together then it does not work because when it switches from HTTP to HTTPS it does not pass the Basic authentication token.How to do this?

[girijesh-mca]

Great explanation as always we expected from you..Thank you so much...

[BasVolkers]

Great example ! Did you forget the try catch in your OnAuthorization method??

[harisahmed]

Thank you for such amazing tutorials. i am following you sins 3 years. I find every solution here. This is my request please make another tutorial for Roles for webApi. Thank you Sir

[trustingod]

How does this differ from using the IDENTITY FRAMEWORK ?

[aneeshkp]

Dear Sir,
You have given BasicAuthenticationAttribue as the class name but use only the word BasicAuthentication to decorate action method. In the case of enabling CORS you use full class name. Could you please expalin this?
