title: ASP .NET 5 (MVC6) External Forms Authentication
body: <p>I'm currently investigating an elegant solution to this problem, but I wanted to get this question out here in order to get any advice/suggestions/answers to this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I am working with an authentication system (forms authentication) that the client uses for authentication.</p>
  
  <p>Current Steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Redirect to URL for forms authentication.</li>
  <li>Enter Username/Password</li>
  <li>Get back form data.  Specifically: Context.Request.Form["Token"]</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am able to perform all of these steps.  I am trying to think of the right path to get the middleware to take care of this problem.  I'm currently wondering if I could simply use the Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication.Cookies to solve this problem.  With this approach, I would implement my own ICookieManager to look at the Form data.</p>
  
  <p>Advice/Suggestions/Answers?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
