I am having trouble with facebook authentication for Mobile Services in Azure.
To be more specific, I already have an application that is using Facebook C# SDK and it works fine. I can log on, fetch list of my friends and so. I want to keep using this SDK, but I also want to authenticate for Azure Mobile Service. So, my plan was, log on with Facebook C# SDK (as I already do today), get the authentication token, and pass it to the MobileServiceClient.LoginAsync() - function. That way, I can still have all the nice features in Facebook C# SDK, and also use the built in authentication system in Mobile Services for Azure.
var client = new FacebookClient();
dynamic parameters = new ExpandoObject();
parameters.client_id = App.FacebookAppId;
parameters.redirect_uri = "https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html";
parameters.response_type = "token";
parameters.display = "popup";
var loginUrl = client.GetLoginUrl(parameters);
WebView.Navigate(loginUrl);
When load is complete, followin is executed:
FacebookOAuthResult oauthResult;
if (client.TryParseOAuthCallbackUrl(e.Uri, out oauthResult) && oauthResult.IsSuccess)
{
var accessToken = oauthResult.AccessToken;
var json = JsonObject.Parse("{\"authenticationToken\" : \"" + accessToken + "\"}");
var user = await App.MobileService.LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Facebook, json);
}
However, I get this exception when I call the last line of code above: MobileServiceInvalidOperationException, "Error: The POST Facebook login request must specify the access token in the body of the request."
I cannot find any information on how to format the accesstoken, I have tried a lot of different keys (instead of "authenticationToken" as you see in my sample). I also have tried just to pass the accesstoken string, but nothing seem to work. Also, if I use the MobileServiceClient.LoginAsync() for making a brand new login, it works just fine, but it seem silly to force users to log on twice.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
