Windows Azure Mobile Services

Azure Mobile Services is a Azure service

offering designed to make it easy to

create highly-functional mobile apps

using Azure. Mobile Services brings

together a set of Azure services that

enable backend capabilities for your

app. Integration with Microsoft Visual

Studio 2013 makes it easy to connect to

Mobile Services without having to log

into the Azure Management Portal.

Use single sign-on with Active Directory, Facebook, Twitter, and Google

Push notifications to individual users and dynamic audience segments

Store data in SQL, Table Storage, and MongoDB

Access on-premises systems, Office 365, and SharePoint

Use cloud-based sync to build apps that work offline

Manage your way (portal, REST API, SSMS, etc.)

In Windows Azure Mobile Services, data is stored in tables, which are maintained

in the Windows Azure SQL Database that is associated with your mobile service.

NOT A SECURITY TOKEN/CONTROL

Hint that user is coming from your app (reduce chance of misuse)

Private until you publish the app

Master Key

All powerful

Do NOT distribute with your application

Use from server-side logic you control

Security

Authentication

Mobile Services integrates with the following identity providers to make it easy to authenticate users from your app:

Microsoft Account

Facebook login

Twitter login

Google login

To enable authentication, you must first register your app with one or more of these identity providers and then configure your mobile service.

You must also add authentication code to your app.

Microsoft Account, Facebook, Twitter, and Google

OAuth

Does not use Windows Azure ACS

Authentication

PUSH Notification

Mobile Services can send push notifications to your apps.

The way that you configure and send push notifications depends on your app.

You can send push notifications to the following applications:

Windows Store app by using the Windows Push Notification Service (WNS). You can send push

notifications to your app, you must configure your mobile service to work with WNS.

iPhone and iPad apps by using the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). You can send

push notifications to your app, you must configure your mobile service to work with APNS. Do

this by generating a special push notification certificate at the iOS Provisioning Portal

Android: You can send push notifications to Android apps by using the Google Cloud

Messaging (GCM) service. You can send push notifications to your app, you must configure

your mobile service to work with GCM.

Windows Phone 8 app by using the Microsoft Push Notification Service (MPNS). Mobile

Services does not require you to register your Windows Phone 8 app to send push

notifications.

PUSH Notification

How Push Notifications Work ?

Retrieve device handle

Store handle in app back-end Send notification to handle

Device notified (even when app is inactive)
