Hello,
I'm trying to implement an authentication mechanism of which I'm not sure it's possible. I found Vittorio's blog @ http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2012/08/01/windows-azure-authentication-library-a-deep-dive-2/ which pretty much sums up what I need under the "Authentication via User Credentials" section. Great, but I need this to work with a client which is a Windows Store app / Windows Phone app.
The service / client setup I have now consists of two console application, with the following authentication flow:
- client contacts ADFS instance, requests token and decodes it using the ADFS certificate
- client contacts ACS, sends the token and receives an ACS token
- client contacts a WCF service which is relayed by Azure service bus (HttpRelayBinding is used) and uses the ACS token to autenticate
This way, the client needs to have a valid (internal) AD account in order to be able to call the (internal) relayed WCF service.
Now the next step is to swop out the console app client with a proper Windows store or Windows Phone app. And that's where I'm stuck, because the AAL library for Windows store apps does not seem to support half of what the 'normal' version does. As far as I can judge; username / password authentication is not available.
I'd like to know if others have implemented similar scenario's and what my options would be.
