I have a C# web API application, which is using OAuth and annotations such as:



[Authorize(Roles = "admin")]


I'm hosting it on AWS elastic beanstalk. It works fine when there is 1 instance running, but when I started to have multiple instances, I was getting unauthorised messages returned. Clearly the tokens are not valid across multiple machines.



Is there a way that I can add some configuration to the instances so that they accept tokens that have been generated on a different machine?

          You can set the MachineKey in web.config which can be used to share tokens between multiple machines.



          <machineKey decryption="AES" decryptionKey="..." validation="HMACSHA256" validationKey="..." /> 


          The script to generate the machine key can be found here.
