MVC save a token in session

Question

I am calling a service, and I need to pass the user\'s permanent security token with every request I make.

In order to do that, I\'ve added this method to my base

Answer 1

If User.Identity outlasts the Session, why not store the token as a Claim in the Identity? Something like:

var claims = new[]
{
    new Claim("access_token", string.Format("Bearer {0}", token)),
};

var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

Request.GetOwinContext().Authentication.SignIn(options, identity);
