Authentication with Jaydata and ASP.NET OData with Identity

Question

I'm trying to access my OData server using ASP.NET Identity for authentication. Is there a possibility to do that with JayData? Unfortunately, there's almost no information about that throughout the internet.

Or should one do authentication with OData and JayData with a different technology? Please consider that the server uses ASP.NET.

Thank you!

Answer 1

JayData supports basic authentication, so your JayData context can be initialized with the following parameters:

var yourContext = new YourContextType({
        name: "oData", 
        oDataServiceHost: '/Northwind.svc', 
        user: "user", 
        password: "password" })

Of course you should pass these parameters from a login form and publish your backend service over https.

Downgrading to previous datajs versions (such as 1.0.3) will resolve this issue. Newer version of datajs are removing some headers.
