Register your apps to use a Microsoft Account login

This topic shows you how to register your apps to be able to use Live Connect as an authentication provider for Windows Azure Mobile Services.

Note

When you intend to also provide single sign-on or push notifications from a Windows Store app, consider also registering your app with the Windows Store. For more information, see Register your Windows Store apps for Windows Live Connect authentication.

  1. Navigate to the My Applications page in the Live Connect Developer Center, and log on with your Microsoft account, if required.

  2. Click Create application, then type an Application name and click I accept.

    This registers the application with Live Connect.

  3. Click Application settings page, then API Settings and make a note of the values of the Client ID and Client secret.

    Security Note

    The client secret is an important security credential. Do not share the client secret with anyone or distribute it with your app.

  4. In Redirect domain, enter the URL of your mobile service, and then click Save.

You are now ready to use a Microsoft Account for authentication in your app by providing the client ID and client secret values to Mobile Services.
