Call MVC Service with Forms Authentication from Web API

Question

I have ASP.Net Web API service which uses BasicHttpAuthentication. I have another ASP.Net MVC Service which uses Forms Authentication. Both services are using same membership provider and role manager. I want to call MVC service method from Web API method and pass same credentials. Whatever I try, MVC service always returns LoginPage.html.

How can I pass Web API authentificated user credentials to MVC service through forms authentication?
