I'm using ASP.net Core 1, MVC 6. I am using SignInManager and UserManager, to authenticate a user in a web api application (MVC6 / C#) from another MVC application (the web api Logon method is actually called from a Jquery Ajax request).
In IE, I call the Login method and when successful, it gives me a Set-Cookie response with an ASP.net auth cookie. I can then see subsequent requests have the ASP.net auth cookie attached.
In chrome, the Set-Cookie directive is returned in the response, but subsequent requests do not have the cookie attached.
Why is this happening?
The only difference I can see is that in Chrome, there is a pre-flight OPTIONS request being sent, but I have handled that in the startup.cs file in the web api and am essentially ignoring it.
My request to Login web api looks like this:

A wild guess would be you are not setting withCredentials flag on your XMLHttpRequest
when making cross-domain request from javascript via ajax. This flag basically controls whether to include credentials (such as cookies, authorization headers or client certificates) in cross-domain request. Why it still works in IE? Not completely sure, but maybe because proper implementation of this flag only appeared in IE10, and you might use another version of IE. If you use jquery to make requests, see here how to set this flag.
If that is not the case, please include your client-side code + request and response headers of Chrome's OPTIONS request.
