Authentication with custom authenticator via Azure Mobile Services and cordova app

问题

I am building a phone app using Cordova/Phonegap and an Azure Mobile Services backend. I need to use a custom authenticator since this is integrating with a current software product.

I built the server side using info from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-dotnet-backend-get-started-custom-authentication/

I set config.SetIsHosted(true); in WebApiConfig

From the client, I seem to be authenticating fine and getting back a valid token, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I've tried setting client.currentUser, but my api calls are coming back as unauthorized.

Here's some code:

client = new WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient("http://`localhost`:50523");      
login = function () {
    client.invokeApi("CustomLogin", {
    method: "post",
    body: { "username": "user1", "password": "pass1" }
    })
    .done(function (result) {
        var login = JSON.parse(result.response);
        client.currentUser = login.user;
        client.currentUser.mobileServiceAuthenticationToken = login.authenticationToken;

        //lets try now that i'm valid
        getMembers();

        app.navigate("views/home.html");
    }, function(error) {
        alert(error);
        });

};

    getMembers = function () {
        client.invokeApi("Member", {
            method: "get",
            body: {}
            })
        .done(
        function(result) {
            alert(result.result[0].lName);
            },
        function(error) {
            alert(error);
            });

    };

Is there more I need to do with the authentication token to make this work? Thanks!

EDIT: Some more info --

Using Fiddler to monitor the traffic, I see that the call to /api/member has a few headers set:

X-ZUMO-AUTH: set to the token I got back earlier
X-ZUMO-FEATURES: AJ
X-ZUMO-INSTALLATION-ID: a guid
X-ZUMO-VERSION: ZUMO/1.2(...)

OK. Looked at this in detail. First, the sample is only creating users in the local Azure mobile service DB. I am assuming you are creating a user on the actual Mobile Service in Azure. You can see the line of code I commented out below that can add it if you want to test. But here is code that should do what you want. Sorry it is C#, but should translate easy enough. Note "UserToDo" is the string my CustomLoginProvider.ProviderName returns.

protected override async void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    LoginInfo dude = new LoginInfo() { username = "user", password = "P-Dub" };

    //  await App.MobileService.InvokeApiAsync<LoginInfo, LoginResult>("CustomRegistration", dude);

    //  Call Custom API To Log iN
    var result = await App.MobileService.InvokeApiAsync<LoginInfo,LoginResult>("CustomLogin", dude);

    // Create the user credentials.
    PasswordCredential credential = new PasswordCredential("UserToDo",
        result.user.userId, result.authenticationToken);

    MobileServiceUser user = new MobileServiceUser(credential.UserName);
    credential.RetrievePassword();
    user.MobileServiceAuthenticationToken = credential.Password;

    // Set the user from the stored credentials.
    App.MobileService.CurrentUser = user;


    await RefreshTodoItems();  // This accesses the mobile service.
}


public class LoginInfo
{
    public String username { get; set; }
    public String password { get; set; }
}


public class LoginResult
{
    public User user { get; set; }
    public string authenticationToken { get; set; }
}

public class User
{
    public string userId { get; set; }
}
