I have a working WebApi project where I need to add authentication and authorization. We have a User Database to verify login credentials. I am not sure how to start with implementing authentication in WebApi.

I have went through the solution, understood the HMAC authentication completely which I Can easily implement. I am not sure if I should dig more into OAuth/Token based authentication or go with HMAC. I am not able to find any such code samples for OAuth.

Can any 1 suggest me the best practice to implement authentication in WebApi.
