Map IAuthenticationHandler in OWIN

[Tratcher]

This is needed to interop with OWIN security middleware.

what's the status on this? is it planned for one of the upcoming alphas?

[Tratcher]

It's not currently assigned to a milestone. I was planning to wait until we've ported at least one security middleware (e.g. Facebook) to help validate the object model. That work should be starting soon.

I know that this has not been started yet but I have noticed that if I include the cookie security package in the pipeline and do a SignIn on the response using the "Cookies" auth type, it no longer throws an exception. Instead I am getting what looks to be an auth cookie as part of a succesful repsonse. I am still using an OWIN web server.

[Tratcher]

Sounds like you're using an OWIN server => vNext cookies => vNext app. The auth here happens entirely between vNext components, so no OWIN adaptation is required.

Thanks for clarifingy.

For now we're going to stick with supporting only pure OWIN middleware.
