How to implement Authorization in ASP.NET Web API using Windows Azure

I have sample ASP.NET Web API with get method, I have prefixed a [Authorize] attribute on top of the method. Can I please know how should I call this method from browser or fiddler? Also, I am hosting these API's on Windows Azure

public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    // GET api/values
    [Authorize]
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }
}

Depending on the type of authorization you are using there might be different ways. But if you are using default routing you could call your method at the following url:

/api/values

You might of course need to pass additional headers depending on the authorization mechanism you choose. The [Authorize] attribute doesn't do anything unless you have configured some authorization. You may take a look at the following article for an example of how you could use tokens to authenticate your users.
