I need to get the user's extra information from social accounts like Facebook and Google+. When I first read about Azure Mobile Services I thought it to be the holy grail of social authentication. Well, after a full week of hair pulling I'm starting to reconsider my first impression. It does authenticate as easily as it could possibly do. I configured Google+ and FB to work with Azure, configured Azure to use the key/secret from each provider and it all just worked. I was able to login perfectly. The problem started when I tried to get information from the logged user, which I honestly think

I am using ADALiOS into my app for authentication. When user signIn into the app I am getting following error: "The argument 'cacheItem.scopes' is invalid. Value:(null)." and "The user credentials are need to obtain access token. Please call the non-silent acquireTokenWithResource methods" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks This might happen if keychain sharing is disabled. One of the probable solution is: Solution: Step 1: Xcode > Target > Capabilities > Keychain Sharing -> Switch to ON Step 2: add com.microsoft.adalcache into Keychain Group. Hope this helps. There is a pattern for dealing

I'm trying to piece together an architecture for a Windows Universal App leveraging Azure Mobile Services. It's a LOB app and will need to handle 100-250 offline\online tables. Currently Mobile Services doesn't support nested complex objects so on the service side I've mapped most of my tables straight through from entity framework. The question I have is whether I should use a separate layer to reconstitute the DTO's or if i should be doing this all through the service layer and the view model. My main concerns are isolation of responsibility (large team) and the performance overhead from the

So, I had a working xamarin forms app that used azure mobile services. I upgraded the server side to use mobile app service and upgraded the nugets in my client to use the latest and greatest client codes. I manually updated my test/ios simulator sqlite db to use the proper column names for the system properties since they dropped the double underscore prefix. When I finally got it all built and tried to run in the ios 6/8.3 simulator it ran fine until it hit the InitializeAsync method. It doesn't throw (its in a try catch) and I let it run for a long time and it just sits there. I then tried

I need a primer web/javascript security. According to How to use an HTML/JavaScript client for Windows Azure Mobile Services , in javascript on the client side, after including a link to MobileServices.Web-1.0.0.min.js you're supposed to create a client like this: var MobileServiceClient = WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient; var client = new MobileServiceClient('AppUrl', 'AppKey'); which means including my AppKey in the javascript on the page. Should I be worried about the AppKey being public? Also, it seems easy enough for someone to put an XHR breakpoint in to read the X-ZUMO-APPLICATION and X

I'm working the C# in Azure Mobile Apps trying to learn them. I created the Model to link to my Azure SQL DB, created a DataObject like this: public class Account : EntityData { //public int id { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string PhoneNumber { get; set; } public string Password { get; set; } public DateTime dtCreated { get; set; } public Guid oGuid { get; set; } } Notice that I commented out the public int id above; it was giving me a duplicate column error on the query. Finally, I created a controller using the newly created

We are trying create an webservice to upload files to Azure file storage using node.js service. Below is the node.js server code. exports.post = function(request, response){ var shareName = request.headers.sharename; var dirPath = request.headers.directorypath; var fileName = request.headers.filename; var body; var length; request.on("data", function(chunk){ body += chunk; console.log("Get data"); }); request.on("end", function(){ try{ console.log("end"); var data = body; length = data.length; console.log(body); // This giving the result as undefined console.log(length); fileService

I am trying something very simple. I have a custom API called "missingvehiclesfrominventoryjob" and it simply returns a record set from an standard SQL Query. I can do this in my WinForms and Windows Phone app easily but I cannot figure out how to do this on the Android App. Here is my code: (which DOES NOT COMPILE in Android Studio): msClient.invokeApi("missingvehiclesfrominventoryjob", kd, new ApiOperationCallback<List<InventoryProspects>>(){ @Override public void onCompleted(List<InventoryProspects> missingVehicles, Exception e, ServiceFilterResponse serviceFilterResponse){ for
