Azure Authentication

Question

I have an app that I have enable the Azure authentication on.

My issues is that when the login prompt comes up, if the user click on the Arrow to back out of the prompt the application opens. How can I force the login else cancel the application.

Thanks

This is what I have in my App.cs file.

try
{
 MobileServiceUser user = await App.mobileService.LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.WindowsAzureActiveDirectory);
               
}
 catch (InvalidOperationException)
{
    //nothing here yet          
}

Answer 1

Hi rlawrimore,

I don't know what you mean by cancel here, but app cannot terminate itself, the close action should come from the user. But you can always suggest your user to close the app if they choose not login.

Answer 2

I would like to have the login be the very first thing that happens when the app opens. If they cancel the login, then the app would close.

Answer 3

Seems my understanding is correct. As I mentioned before, the app cannot terminate itself, otherwise it will not pass the WACK test and could not be uploaded to the Store.

I would suggest you to let the user do the close action, for instance you can tell your user in the mainpage that if they not login, they can do nothing in the app and give them a chance to retry login, otherwise, suggest them to close the app.
