Windows Azure Learning Path–Level 300 : Exercise 1
Exercise 1: Use Access Control Service for Accepting Users from Multiple Identity Providers
Windows Azure Access Control Service (ACS) will help externalize application security freeing developers to focus on code that helps with application logic. In this hands-on lab you will learn how to take advantage of ACS for externalizing authentication, managing multiple identity sources, performing some basic authorization tasks and take control of the authentication experience. Please see lab overview for the description of the lab and the needed set up process.
Before staring the lab, download Hands-on Lab Source Files for using with Exercise 1 through 3
Task 1 - Creating the Initial Solution
Create the initial solution starting from the downloaded bits
Task 2 - Signing-up for Windows Azure Access Control Service
In this task you will sign into Windows Azure management portal and set up Service Bus namespace
Task 3 - Configuring the Allowed Identity Providers, the Relying Party and the Signing Certificate
In this task you will add multiple identity providers and also set up signing certificate for relying party.
Task 4 - Configuring a Website to Accept Tokens from Access Control Service
