I am developing windows phone-8 app In this I need to register e-mail and password and after I have to login with registered user-name and password.I am using HttpWebRequest Class but don't know how it is possible please share with me any info or link regarding that.
You don't even need a separate web server running an auth service. Instead, you could use Windows Azure Mobile Services. There are several reasons for that, the main being the fact that you can easily manage outgoing data (register users) and check for existing data (authenticating users).
You can use the Azure Mobile Services client if you need an abstracted out data access layer.

Presently I have two app services on Azure
An Angular 7 application - mydomainUI.azurewebsites.net
A NET Core web API - mydomainAPI.azurewebsites.net
I also have two DNS records on godaddy:
An A record to the Azure IP address and a
text record # to mydomainUI.azurewebsites.net
Angular makes the API calls to the azure domain. Everything works fine but the home page load takes too long with all the Angular overhead. I would like to add a third app service: a fast loading MVC application that handles the home page ONLY. It would be something like mydomainPUBLIC.azurewebsites.net. All other requests should be handled by the Angular routing of the UI app service. The browser should only show mydomain.com for everything and not the azure domains.
Can this be done without sub-domains? What DNS record(s) would I have to add on godaddy? Any other considerations?
Thank you in advance
I don't think you can route to different web app service with the same domain unless you use subdomains. However, if you consider using path-based URL to access your different web apps, here are two options for you.
You can place multiple web apps in the same web app service with different Azure virtual directories. See here1 and here2. Then set the custom domains in your current web app service.
You could use Azure application gateway route to multiple web app services based on Path URL. URL Path-Based Routing allows you to route traffic to back-end server pools based on URL Paths of the request.
You could follow this to configure App Service with Application Gateway. You need to
Create three backend pools and place each app service in the separate backend pool.
Create three HTTP Settings and Custom Probe with “Pick Hostname” switches enabled(Check Use App Service check box)
Create a basic backend listener and a path-based routing rule. Refer to this tutorial.
If you face any question, please let me know.
I need advice after looking a lot about receive push/toast notifications regardless of the status of the application (closed or open).
The application communicates with a NodeJS API.
The idea is that a user logs in once to the application and then can receive notifications (depending on his account): i the user restarts his system for example, at startup he receives notifications without having to open the application (like the Mail application for example).
Most tutorials on MSDN use Azure and I don' use this. I would like to know if you have tips or links (tutorials, ...) for doing this in an UWP (or WinRT) application.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can send push notifications from your NodeJS api via Windows Notification Service. This service has nothing to do with azure but when using Azure Notifications Hub it will be easier to get it implemented, but again this is not required;
In essence:
- register your app in dev center
- obtain a client id and client secret to use WNS in the dev center
- When your app launch it obtains a push notification channel uri and sends this to your backend. Your backend need to save all the URI's for the different devices
- When you have a notification select the uri's of the devices you want to send the push notification to
- post a xml message (based on what you want to update, tile, toast, badge or raw) to the URI's. To be able to post you need to authenticatie with the client id and client secret

I am trying to work out an application using
Dotnet Core 1.0
MySQL as the data store
Authetication and Authorization
Entity Framework
Ubuntu 16 machine
I have succeeded in creating a sample API to fetch data from MySQL database using entity framework. Now I want to introduce Authentication using email as username and Password.
I tried several method from different blogs but unable to achieve this.
What I am trying to achieve is Custom Authentication for the api where user will send username and password to login Api. The login Api will return an access token and refresh token. Using this access token, the user can call other APIs.
Later on I want to add Google and Facebook Authentication too.
Is there a way to do this?
Everything you want to achieve is possible. However there are some caveats.
Yes you can do this. You will need to use the resource owner grant which is turned off in identityserver 4 by default. I suspect the reason for this is because passing user credentials into an application is an anti-pattern, it is there to typically support legacy systems, also it does not authenticate users in the explicit sense because the credentials could come from an un-trusted source (as an example). You can read up about the grant's generic value here. You can find samples here.
The safer pattern is to use something like Implicit Flow which is good practice if you cannot guarantee trust between clients and your API.
As for social logins this is possible. There are tonnes of samples online but here are the official docs.
There is a project on github, https://github.com/diogodamiani/IdentityServer4.MongoDB and a corresponding nuget package that will send you in the right direction. It's obviously MongoDb, but the same premise applies.
Am developing a Windows Store 8.1 app using C# and xaml.
I am doing Single sign on using Azure Active Directory Account login.
I do not want users to be redirected to the Microsoft Account login screen, and then come back. I want to supply them with the login credential screen where we capture their username and password, and then we want to programatically do the authentication against Azure AD, and get back the claims identity.
How can i achieve this?
This is not a supported scenario for security concerns. One of the value propositions for AAD is that the password management, across the whole login lifecycle, is managed and secure. This is particularly important for scenarios in which AAD is securing a 3rd-party SaaS solution. A developer should not be able to have access to a user's credentials at any point.
All that said, it sounds like there is another question here which is answerable: How can I customize the login screen that AAD gives me?
AAD Premium does offer features for adding custom branding to your tenant. However, you still will be working with a screen that is provided for you.
Hi I have an HTML5 app which has a User Login. The app has a Notes option. I am looking for a service which would help me to sync the notes for that user account. So the same user can login in a different device and see the Notes in their device. I cannot use iCloud as Android doesnt support it.
We tried to store the notes in the user db using jsonp but still had some issues.
Someone mentioned about Pusher.com but looks like the service is expensive for a starter like us. Is there any more reliable and cheap options for us? W
Parse is probably more in line with what you are looking for. Pusher provides a service for sending push notifications, but you mentioned the need to store data in the cloud. Parse can accomplish this and does have a free basic plan that you can get started with.
