Is there a situation when WsFederationAuthenticationOptions WReply and CallbackPath values may not match?
When using ASP.Net OWIN/Katana to set up single sign-on using WSFederation, there exists WReply and CallbackPath properties.

I’ve launched the sample project for ASP.Net MVC that provides single sign-on against Active Directory, and am using this Microsoft tutorial for reference.
I have a strange problem with using Owin cookie authentication.
I am a newbie in ASP.NET, and currently learning ASP.NET Identity. I know it’s built on top of OWIN implementation by Microsoft, and I am also still learning that too. So, I came across the extension method CreatePerOwinContext in the Owin startup code, and I don’t see a clear purpose of using it. Is it some kind of dependency injection container? What is the real purpose of the method? In what case it should be applied?
I have read many articles about the OWIN and Katana projects, but I could not get the whole picture of it.
ASP.NET authentication is now based on OWIN middleware that can be used on any OWIN-based host. ASP.NET Identity does not have any dependency on System.Web.
I am using owin openid connect authentication where the authentication provider is hosted on a separate domain. The authentication process works nicely. I am able to view restricted pages upon successful login at the identity server.
I am new to OWIN and Katana. I really don’t get why I should use OWIN, while I can use IIS. To simplify, my question is: What do I lose if I skip learning OWIN and use IIS for my websites?
Startup.cs is a new way to initialize your app instead of Application_Start in Global.asax and it’s fine. But is there a place to put my teardown logic, for example this:
I’ve set up a web site using an Owin self hosted console app. I’m serving static files with no problem, the ‘root’ of the static part of the site works properly, and the web API routes work fine also.
