Introduction to ASP.NET MVC 6 (Video 15)

This video tutorial covers securing an API by implementing authorization on a controller, handling redirects, and configuring the identity system to return appropriate status codes. It explains how to add an authorize attribute to prevent unauthorized access and adjust the identity system to return a 401 status code instead of a 200 when unauthorized access is attempted. The tutorial also discusses handling asynchronous contexts and ensuring correct task returns.

What is the purpose of adding the authorize attribute to the to-do controller?

What response do we expect when unauthorized access is attempted on the API?

How does the identity system configuration affect the API's response?

What changes need to be made to the status code when redirecting to the login page?

Explain the significance of returning a task in an asynchronous context.
