I am a newbie in ASP.NET, and currently learning ASP.NET Identity. I know it's built on top of OWIN implementation by Microsoft, and I am also still learning that too. So, I came across the extension method CreatePerOwinContext in the Owin startup code, and I don't see a clear purpose of using it. Is it some kind of dependency injection container? What is the real purpose of the method? In what case it should be applied? CreatePerOwinContext registers a static callback which your application will use to get back a new instance of a specified type. This callback will be called once per request

What is the proper way to implement a global Exception catcher-handler in a Katana (OWIN) implementation? In a self-hosted OWIN/Katana implementation running as an Azure Cloud Service (worker role), I placed this code in a Middleware: throw new Exception("pooo"); Then I placed this code in the Startup class Configuration method, setting a breakpoint in the event handler: AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledExceptionEventHandler; and the event handler in the same class (with a breakpoint set on the first line): private static void CurrentDomain

Based on this tutorial http://www.asp.net/aspnet/overview/owin-and-katana/owin-oauth-20-authorization-server , I have created an Authorization Server, a Resource Server and a MVC Client. The MVC Client has a Controller which gets some data from the Resource Server. The Resource Server requires authentication. The MVC Clients gets an authorization code from the Authorization Server and Redirects the user to the Authorization Server for authentication. Finally the MVC Clients exchanges the authorization code for a Access token to Access the Resource Server. This is the Authorization code flow as
