Using Azure to Authenticate Windows Phone users

I am developing a Windows phone and Windows 8 app with Windows Azure Mobile Services as backend.

I want to authenticate users using their Microsoft Live account.

Authentication should be done only the first time, all subsequent access to mobile services should happen using token received from first time login.

This is how it should work.

1. User opens the app and is prompted to sign in using Microsoft Live Account.

2. Sign-in page is shown, user logs into Microsoft Live Account.

4. Azure authenticates user and returns access token or refresh token to the app.

5. Then app uses that access token/refresh token to access the mobile services back end.

6. After first time user is never required to login or authenticate again.

Is this possible with windows azure mobile services? If yes, can you please point me to some samples.

This is very similar to how Live SDK works using OAuth 2.0.

Window phone app, asks user to login only first time and app receives refresh token.

All subsequent access to live services is authenticated and authorized using refresh token.

Thanks,

Vinod
