Question

Hi I'm a newbie to  Live Id so excuse ignorance.
I have been trying to follow a Geneva Beta 2 Sample ClaimsAwareWebAppWithManagedSTS
followed all Instructions on registering an application on msm .

if I run sample through IIS i get the following for my site

The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:
	This site may be experiencing a problem The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network You can: You can sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later at this site.

when running development server I get 
 
http://localhost/default.aspx?f=25&MSPPError=-2147197912

I don't have a default on localhost (although localhost is my domain, this is also not my return URL or my entrypoint !)
Any Ideas??
I am trying to convince my company that federation an LIve ID integration are the way to go, but have ended up spending days over the "simplest of tasks !"

Answer 1

If you get returned to the localhost/default.aspx which doesn't exist, check your application ID.

Answer 2

Thanks Alex.
I've been doing my best to diagnose.
One thing I ve found is that changing settings on the INT environment msm.live.com takes DAYS to become effective. The fastest route is to create a new site sometimes this becomes ACTIVE immediately, sometimes takes 24 hrs to move from pending to Active. Can anybody offer me an insight on this latency so I can understand ?

Anyway what I really want is a return URL of http:\\localhost:4161\default.aspx  (for example) I create a Domain Name of localhost , Override Authentication  MBI_FED_SSL
Whenever I create such a site  I get
The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:

I can get a site with a return URL of https:\\localhost\default.aspx working.

can anyone advise is it possible to include a port No. in return URL ?
is it possible to use http in return URL when using  MBI_FED_SSL

best regards
Iain

This looks like the RPS SDK, which falls beyond the scope of this forum. Why it can take days to go from pending to active is a mystery to me, I think the servers are slow or somebody has to do it by hand. I can't really help you here as I have no understanding of MBI_FED_SSL and such...

Try contacting somebody at Microsoft (the Geneva-guys, for example), they can help you better than I can. Take a look at the Geneva-forums .

I am getting this now too for the last couple of days!!! And all I'm trying to do is check my mail!!!!

I truly HATE Microsoft products... they are nothing but a pain in the butt!!! Unfortunately... I NEED MSN messenger and the e-mail!!!!  :-(  I think I am going to switch to Googles wave ASAP!!!
