Live ID with Active STS / WS-Trust

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 04:12:01 Z

Hi all,

I'm attempting to use Geneva's WSTrustClient to retrieve a token from Live ID that is subsequently passed to a WCF service hosted in Azure, using .NET Access Control Services as its STS.

Whenever I execute an Issue request from WSTrustClient to the endpoint at https://dev.login.live.com/wstlogin.srf, I get an Internal Server Error 500 with no other information

Looking at the outgoing traffic using fiddler shows the following SOAP envelope (names changed to protect the innocent!):

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

The ApplicationID was retrieved from the project settings in the Azure development portal. Am I doing something wrong here? It looks as though it should work?! The code I'm using is:

            RequestSecurityToken requestToken = new RequestSecurityToken(RequestTypeConstants.Issue);
            requestToken.AppliesTo = new EndpointAddress("http://solutionname.accesscontrol.windows.net/issued_for_certificate");
            using (new OperationContextScope(wsTrustClient.InnerChannel))
            {
                OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageHeaders.Add(

                securityToken = wsTrustClient.Issue(requestToken, out requestTokenResponse);

Live Mesh Beta Check for Updates Fails with Error

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:09:07 Z

I am running the Live Framework SDK and Live Mesh on Win XP SP3. I am signed into Live Mesh Beta and it seems to be working OK. But I ask Live Mesh Beta to Check for Updates using the applet, after some time I get an error "Some updats were not configured. [80072EFD]."

I signed out of Live Mesh, exited, restarted Live Mesh and signed in. Everytime I run the Check for Updates, I get the same error.

How can I find out what is wrong and fix it?

Developing Against The Live Framework

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:38:00 Z

I built a Live Framework application on the CTP some months back. I have been recently been asked to bring that back to life so I can demonstrate the types of applications we could build on the live framework. However, I noticed that the CTP came offline in Sept. What are my options here. I really need to get this back up and running.

Thanks

The domain name is already in use by another developer or project.

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:51:19 Z

Hi all,

I have the following problem:
i trying to register my web site to a live services and I get the following error:
The domain name is already in use by another developer or project.

This is true.. because the domain was registered with an old user accout. Now that user account is closed..
And I'll trying to register with another user account. :)

It is possible to deregister the old live services? or it is possible to reassociate the old service to the new account?

I can't post on this forum all data of my live service for security reason, but I konw all LiveID, AppID, secret key, domain, around this problem.
It is possible to contact Microsoft Support for the Azure Live Services by mail?
This is an urgent problem..

Any solutions are welcome! :)

What is the problem with my domain name? Why I get "Invalid application domain name"?

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:18:41 Z

Hi all,

I am very worried that my domain can not be accepted during adding delegated authentication for my own live service. I alway get the warning message "Invalid application domain name", but that is a real and correct domain, why Azure does not accept it?

Did anyboby encounter this issue same with it? Is the that domain was broken or filtered out?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

return URL does not update

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:51:37 Z

Hi,
I needed to update the return URL for the delegated authentication. I did so in the Service Component Properties, consequently tested it, but I was redirected to the old URL. I logged back in to Azure to recheck the new URL is set, and it is all right there. Is there a time delay before the updated URL is used? Or do I have to regenerate the Secret Key upon changing the return URL? (I didn't)
Thanks.

Lost control of my application domain on Azure forever?

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:42:51 Z

rather embarrassingly, I created a Windows Live account for my company to register our Live application, and then lost the Live ID. I have created a new account (and carefully written down the new ID) but because I had created a Service Component in the previous account associated with my application's domain, it now won't let me create another Service Component for that domain. So I'm a a bit stuck.

Is it possible to, or can anyone from Microsoft help me, get control of my domain back?

Thanks

Connectivity Issues to user-ctp

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:58:14 Z

I'm having sporadic connectivity issues to user-ctp. I authenticate just fine, but then when I get to step 2 of my deploy process, it fails to connect to the user-ctp site. I am currently having this problem on roughly 75% of my attempts to debug.

Live SkyDrive APIs

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:07:09 Z

Right now on the Live Services SDK documentation on the MSDN library, it lists Live Services User Data, but then that expands only to Contacts, Photos, and Application Based Storage.

It seems like there are a lot of other Live offerings with APIs provided, but there's a big gap when it comes to SkyDrive. Are there any plans to develop a fully featured SkyDrive API?

Actually make it to the 'Create a new service component' page

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:50:15 Z

I am having an absolute nightmare of a time trying to test my windows live login scripts (PHP) on the live server.

I’m being sent all over the place by multiple sites telling me to do lots of different things;

· This page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676626.aspx ) tells me I need to go to the ‘Azure Services Developer Portal’ and create a project.

· So I go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=144070

· It says after filling in a few pages of info I should see the ‘Create a new service component’ page. I don’t see t his.

Instead I see: “If you want to create a new project you will have to purchase a new Azure Platform subscription on the Microsoft Online Services Portal. ”

· Once I then get to https://azure.msolctp.com/Site/Services/Azure/Signup.aspx I can then not proceed because I do not have a promotion code.

· I have also been over to ‘Microsoft Connect’ and registered / setup to get myself a Windows Azure product key, from here: https://connect.microsoft.com/productkey/myproductkeys.aspx?SiteID=681 - This gives me a project in the https://windows.azure.com page, but the project page only allows me to create 1 of 2 new services, Storage or Hosted Services... I still cannot find the ‘Create a new service component ’ page.

Please help me get the ‘Live Services: Api’ so I can get this windows Live Login plugged into my site.

Missing link on new pages

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:22:49 Z

I saw the Windows Azure (Cloud) team changed the look of the Azure and .NET pages (SQL Azure looks the same on my end). These new pages (https://windows.azure.com) are missing a link to Live Services. In order for me to get there I have to access SQL Azure (from the other CTP link) and get to it that way. Once I'm on the Live Services page it looks like the new layout so that's why I thought you guys may have forgotten to add it to the new pages.

Access Windows Live Space Photo by Live Framework SDK?

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:14:01 Z

Hi
Dear all

I have survied to find out how to aceess my photos on the windows live space.

There was a Windows live photo API CTP , but it seems to be deprecated.

It seems that there is no official api (except RSS feed)to access photos in windows live space.

So I switch to Live Framework SDK, try to figure out if this one can help to access my data such as
photo,blogs in windows live space.

As my understanding, the live framework sdk seems possible to access data in live mesh but imposssbile to access data in windows live space.

The data in windows live space and in live mesh were not connected and different.

Am I right? Do I miss something?

Please show me some directions to access (include download/upload) my photo in Windows live space.
Or just tell me there is no way to do this.

Thanks for a thousand times.
Regards

Important Update to Live Services

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:18:56 Z

David Treadwell announced Friday, August 21, 2009 that the Live Framework CTP will be unavailable as of September 8. First, a very big thanks to all who tried out our CTP and provide invaluable feedback. All that we learned will be used to in future offerings. As David says in his post:

"At the Professional Developer Conference 2008, we gave the developer community access to the technical preview of the Live Framework. The Live Framework is core to our vision of providing you with a consistent programming interface. Now we are working to integrate existing services, controls and the Live Framework into the next release of Windows Live. Your feedback continues to help us build the best possible offerings for Windows Live users, for you and for your customers. "

Read the full announcement here.

We will set the Live Framework Forum to read-only as of Sept. 15, 2009

Live Framework Client MeshAppMonitor.exe consumes too much CPU and RAM when Idle

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:03:54 Z

I have an Intel Xeon based Windows Server 2008 system. When the Live Framework Client's MeshAppMonitor.exe is loaded and running Idle, it consumes too much memory and CPU resources and the system runs very slow and sluggish. With the MeshAppMonitor.exe shut down the system runs quickly and is much more responsive.

There is no reason why an Idle system monitor should have such a huge affect on Server performance.

MSFT should do some work to drastically reduce the impact of the MeshAppMonitor when Live Framework is not being used.

What can be done to reduce the impact of the MeshAppMonitor.exe when idle, other than terminating it?
Why does MeshAppMonitor.exe consume so much CPU and RAM when Idle?

Mesh scaling

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:54:41 Z

So let's say I invite 10,000, or perhaps 100,000l, or maybe 1,000,000 of my closest friends to connect to a Mesh object, which could be a shared data file, or a Silverlight MEWA.

What happens? Is it fundamentally Mesh's "problem" to bring in the resources to make a "hot" file available with reasonable responsiveness? In other words, can we essentially use Mesh as a high abstracted service that allows us to "fire and forget" with respect to "publishing" data or applications?

I'm not sure if this question is part of the throttling limit discussion, but would like to hear people's idea on this.

Windows Live contacts retrieval is unstable (404 error)

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:02:08 Z

dear there:

I already finished a web project registered on Azure, which retrieves Windows Live contacts. It works, from the web server. However, when I try to use the web site to repeat the contacts retrieval, some PCs work, but some other PCs don't work (I saw 404 error). I tried both Internet Explorer 7.0/8.0 and Firefox, the result are all the same. Can anybody give me some clue? Your help is extremely appreciated!

How to refresh a token? mesh-ctp.com always return error 1

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:15:21 Z

Hi.

I tried to refresh an authentication token with Live Framework and Delegated Authentication.
I refer to MSDN Library and team blog.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239047.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/liveframework/archive/2009/01/12/delegated-authentication-part-ii-managing-tokens.aspx

The sample code on that blog doesn't work. Probably, the reason is Refresh Token URL that create by "GetRefreshConsentTokenUrl" method is wrong.
First, the URL inclde invalid file name `` appconsent.aspx''. `` RefreshToken.aspx'' is correct. Second, not include required parameter "delt".

I fixed the two thing and tried to get new token. But The consent-refresh site retruns {`` error'': '' 1''}
How can I get new token?

Thanks

removal from datafeeds

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:26:35 Z

Hi,

I am facing a problem in removing entries from datafeeds. Once in a while, the datafeed removal fails (Web.Exception found) and I cant seem to decipher why it happens. The following is the code snippet:

DataEntry de;

lock (devaddlock)

{

if (SyncLevel >= 1) dfdtom.DataEntries.Load();

de = dfdtom.DataEntries.Entries.FirstOrDefault();

if (de == null)

{

operations.Release();

break;

}

dfdtom.DataEntries.Remove(de);

if (SyncLevel >= 2) dfdtom.Update();

}

dfdtom is the datafeed. This is the only place where I remove entries from this datafeed and the snippet is protected by a lock. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks

Problem with notifications on datafeeds

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:44:45 Z

Hi,

As part of my project, I have to use live mesh framework for communication between different devices through different datafeeds.

dfdtomadd.DataEntries.ChangeNotificationReceived += (s, e) =>

{

if (verbose)

Console.WriteLine("Syncing on device addition dtom - Stage:{0}", numDevices);

OndtomaddNotification();

};

dfdtomdel.DataEntries.ChangeNotificationReceived += (s, e) =>

{

if (verbose)

Console.WriteLine("Syncing on device deletion dtom - Stage:{0}", numDevices);

OndtomdelNotification();

};

When there are changes made to different feeds (almost simultaneously or very close to each other), I seem to receuive only one notification for one of the feeds and the notifications for the other feeds are never received. Can someone tell me what the problem is and what sort of guarantees are given by notifications in the live mesh framework? Also, what is the workaround for my problem?

Thanks

What are the length limitations for DataEntryResource fields?

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:55:46 Z

By trial and error, we have found that the length limitation for the 'Title' field in a DataEntryResource is 254 characters. If you exceed this length, HTTP 413 errors will be returned.

Summary is presumeably longer; however, we don't' know what the max length is.

I am looking for length limitations for Summary and other Live Framework Resource Model fields, including:

When is it appropriate to port a SL app to MEWA? ... when is it not?

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:13:21 Z

I have a few applications under development and I'm trying to determine which applications should be ported to MEWA. Can anyone look at this list of criteria and help me define where MEWA is appropriate/not appropriate... or point me in a direction where I can understand the application vision of MESH?

Target Audience (of MESH in general),

Live Mesh and Snow Leopard compatability

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:49:35 Z

We all know the latest version of the Mesh client does not function on Mac Snow Leopard. It worries me that there is no topic on this issue at all. A fix is eagerly awaited by many. Is there anyone who can confirm awareness of this problem, and can provide a status update on the fix?

Thanks.

Is the Live Framework being cancelled?

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:06:32 Z

My company has been investing heavily in product development based on Live Framework. There has been no CTP since April and the general lack of activity/news is making us very nervous. Is the Framework being cancelled? If this is the case at least we developers should be informed ASAP so that we can minimize our losses.

"What's New for my network" API Request

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:42:22 Z

Hi.

Is there a REST API or XML feed of a user's "What's New for my network" (see http://home.live.com/whatsnew.aspx).

Also, how does a web service authenticate themselves to obtain access to that data (does it use OAuth, Authorisation headers, or something completely different).

I've looked around on the MSDN Docs but I'm not sure really where to start or what section it would be under.

Thanks,

Adam

SerializationException being thrown when retrieving MeshObjects

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:07:40 Z

We have some code that reads the list of MeshObjects from a user's Mesh in order to be able to pick the one with which we want to work. However, one of our intrepid early adopters is hitting an exception inside the Microsoft.LiveFX.ResourceModel assembly, and I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on what may cause it. Here's a truncated stack trace that shows the LiveFx-specific calls:

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException was unhandled
Message="Expecting element 'root' from namespace ''.. Encountered 'None' with name '', namespace ''. "
Source="System.ServiceModel.Web"
StackTrace:
at System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer.InternalReadObject(XmlReaderDelegator xmlReader, Boolean verifyObjectName)
at System.Runtime.Serialization.XmlObjectSerializer.ReadObjectHandleExceptions(XmlReaderDelegator reader, Boolean verifyObjectName)
at System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer.ReadObject(XmlDictionaryReader reader)

at Microsoft.LiveFX.ResourceModel.ResourceCollection`1.LoadFromJson(Stream inputStream, IEnumerable`1 knownTypes)
at Microsoft.LiveFX.ResourceModel.ResourceCollection`1.LoadFromJson(Stream inputStream)

Is there a way to determine what the cause of this exception is? I know the code works properly with a freshly-provisioned account, so can we somehow "flush" the mesh to make things happy?

Many thanks.

Andy
