Azure Mobile Services, AAD and O365: Authentication and identity across services
Play Azure Mobile Services, AAD and O365: Authentication and identity across services
Description
When building mobile business apps using Azure Mobile Services, accessing enterprise assets such as SharePoint is a common customer requirement. Customers expect to sign into the app using their domain identity, and authorize the app to access their calendar or document library. These scenarios are easy with Azure Active Directory and Mobile Services, which enable true integration by allowing multiple services to accept the same authentication token used by mobile apps.
This sample will show how to use the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) in order to authenticate a mobile app user against Mobile Services and then reuse that access token in order to gain access to an O365 service. All in less than 15 minutes!

demel Where can we get the Mobile Services Metro style Info-graphic on the monitor behind Mat??

MatVelloso @demel unfortunately I don't have access to these. Are you looking for anything in particular from those images?
-
robkerr Great tutorial, Mat! Have you published anywhere the code and/or a more detailed walk-through that makes it easier to duplicate the setup ourselves?
Thanks,
Rob -

I'll get a post with the remaining sample code done to cover the remaining missing bits but I know the folks on Azure are also building a sample. Either way I'll let you know.
