Windows authentication in MVC app calling WebAPI

We're building a Windows-authenticated ASP.NET MVC app. This will then call into an ASP.NET WebAPI layer sat on a different server.

We don't have Kerberos enabled so assume authentication with this will be via some form of Basic auth. We're also looking to use ASP.NET Membership/Identity for role management. All communication with the Membership database will be via the WebAPI.

Can anyone give guidance on how best to handle issuing authentication tokens for communication between the MVC and WebAPI apps, and how Authorize attributes may be used across both layers?
