ASP.NET Web API with x509 security certificate

Question

I'm going to use MembershipReboot for my asp.net web api authentication and I'm supposed to implement X509 Certificate.

There is an article in msdn about How to: Secure a Service with an X.509 Certificate, which is for WCF services that uses ServiceHost class. So the question is how to achieve this in asp.net web api services? Is it possible?
