Authentication after migrating to App Services Mobile App: uid vs sid

I've migrated form Azure Mobile Services to the new App Services Mobile App, and I'm using the new AMS 2.0.0-beta on the client-side.
I have two providers (currently) implemented for OAuth 2.0: Google and Twitter.
Previously, I was able to get the provider token via a claim in the principal on the server, and there would be a uid (unique id) claim that would be either "Google:123456789" or "Twitter:123456789010" (or however many alphanumerics). I
believe the MobileServiceClient.UserId also exposed this as well.
Now, after I've migrated to the new App Services Mobile App (and I'm using the Preview Portal now, which for the most part is pretty awesome), there is no longer a uid claim, but rather a single sid (session id) claim, something like: "sid:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
no matter which provider I log in with. When I looked on the client-side at the
MobileServiceClient.UserId value, it also gives this "sid" value.
The point is that previously the uid token could uniquely identify a user. Now it is the same for all users across all providers!
How can I get the provider token with the App Services Mobile App that I was previously able to get with Azure Mobile Services?
Also, could anyone point me to the source code for the Azure Mobile Services 2.0.0-beta? I can't seem to find it on GitHub.

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by Apple / Android?

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by apple / android?
This is my question....:
I need a "viewer" app run in a desktop machine... via p2p... ( done and working )
I will like to include it in my iOS / Android Release, an then by example move it to the documents folder.
Run iTunes and then copy the file from the shared document folder.
Is this permited by apple / android / adobe ?
Thanks....

just tracing some kind of tests I'm doing.
A couple of hours ago I left working 2 instances of my Application, leaving alone this computer: one instance is the Mac desktop version and the other one is the Web version. In this case both versions were running on the same computer (an iMac with OS X Mavericks):
1) the AIR/Mac version have been recompiled yesterday with the new AIR4(.0.0.1619 - AIR 3.8 is used to fall in a equivalent way - no changes)
2) the Web version have been compiled targeting FP 11.8 and it is running on Chrome browser with PepperFlash NOT disabled (which reports version MAC 13.0.0.80, the latest)
I left working both the Mac and the Web versions of the Application opened on the pc screen (= not minimized) but kept totally behind some Terminal/ssh windows (= not on OS focus and the system is not asked to update any screen area of the app for sure).
I came back after about 2 hours and I got the browser version connected&running (but it is not a rule) and I also found the AIR-based Mac version disconnected (uau, usually I found the app disconnected but with the screen freezed at last user look ->) which rapidly reconnects upon my click on the Apple dock icon (bring to front).
Why these different behaviours? I ask to myself.
The two versions of the software are TOTALLY the SAME application: except for the first Flash file (a 24kb swf file for the Web version and a 170kb dmg file for the Mac version), basically a platform-dependent loader, both versions loads the same remote swf modules. Of course t is AIR (or my first Flash file?).
I attach the source code of the Mac version of the [first file] AIR-based application at the following url:
http://92.63.230.100/others/others/wtstarter_mac.as.txt
_Adobe_, is it a bug? isn't it?

Hey Mikael!
I actually was struggling through pretty much the same things at the same time that you were.
The EventTriggered extension is actually in the Microsoft.Azure.AppService.ApiApps.Service namespace, so without a using directive for that it will not be happy.
I created a library to help with the metadata generation required for Triggers, and did a write-up on exactly what it takes to create both a polling and push trigger (with a few more samples) here: https://github.com/nihaue/TRex#building-a-polling-trigger-api-app
Hopefully having that combined with
the official docs, and also
Sameer's sample can get you on the right track.
Hope that helps!

After Migration AD users do we need to keep SID history ?

Hi Team,
After Migration AD users do we need to keep SID history ?
what are all the parameters need to verify post-migration ?
This posting is provided &quot;AS IS&quot; with no warranties and confers no rights! Always test ANY suggestion in a test environment before implementing! http://sesaitech.blogspot.in/

SID history is really more of an aesthetic problem.
If you have users with lots of SidHistory entries and lots of Groups, SidHistory will contribute to Kerberos Ticket bloat, so you may wish to clean it up for that reason.
You won't find a list of definitive things to check because SidHistory may affect your users ability to access ANY domain resource - File Share, Websites, databases etc.
If you are reasonably confident that you have migrated all your resources, you have good backups and a process to do a SID History restore (requires authoritative restore of AD users which will also restore passwords) I would suggest staging out your
SidHistory removal and watching for spikes in helpdesk calls.
Good Luck!

Azure App Service API app triggers feedback

Hi
I am kinda new to this and when I tried to build a trigger as defined in the article
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-api-dotnet-triggers/ I simply do not seem to know what I am doing wrong.
I get a lot of compilation errors just using the code in a ASP Net Web Applicaton project, using the Azure API App template. I tried to place the code in a controller but then I get complation errors on a couple of places. The most noticable:
return
this.Request.EventTriggered(new{
files = touchedFiles });
The EventTrigger extension method does not seem to exist. What am I doing wrong?

Deleting Aperture After Migrating to the New Photos App

I've just migrated my photos from Aperture to the new Photos application. Can I delete Aperture now without worrying that it will delete the shared library?

In theory yes, but I would ensure I had a backup of the library (and Aperture) on external drive or a clone of the current disk.
Personally I would hold off deleting anything at this stage until you've managed to throughly test Photos to see it both meets your needs and the library has migrated properly.

Converting desktop app to mobile app

hi i have developed a simple java desktop app for making currency conversions, now i want this to work on my mobile, what are the steps to take to convert it, or do I have to start from scratch? thanks

I think it'll be easier to start from scratch. Java ME classes, even those with the same package and class names, are not the same as their Java SE big brothers.
Here's a link to a [J2ME Tutorial|http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/02/09/j2me1.html].
If you have any Java ME related questions, please post them to the [CLDC and MIDP forum|http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=76].

Splash screen for a desktop app (non mobile app)

I'm using fb4linux, 4.5.1A SDK, I'm developing a non-mobile (i.e. desktop application) and I would like to add a splash screen to it.
I've added mobilecomponents.swc to the library path, and the application starts like this:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
   width="400" height="400" xmlns:local="*"
   preloader="spark.preloaders.SplashScreen"
   splashScreenImage="@Embed('assets/splashscreen.png')"
   splashScreenMinimumDisplayTime="1500">
When I debug it, no splash scren is shown and I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.display::StageAspectRatio is not defined.
    at spark.preloaders::SplashScreen/prepareSplashScreen()[E:\dev\4.5.1\frameworks\projects\mobilecomponents\src\spark\preloaders\SplashScreen.as:340]
    at spark.preloaders::SplashScreen/Stage_resizeHandler()[E:\dev\4.5.1\frameworks\projects\mobilecomponents\src\spark\preloaders\SplashScreen.as:407]
The problem seems to be triggered by the line that sets the preloader, because if I remove it, the error is gone (although no splash screen is shown either).
Any ideas how to make it work?
Thanks!

import [install folder]\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\frameworks\libs\mobile to your build path
Note: You must add the frameworks\libs\mobile\mobilecomponents.swc to the library path of the application to support the splash screen in a desktop application.

Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?

OBIEE11g-Mobile App Designer Point Of View

OBI Mobile App Designer Installation | OBIEE by Shiva Molabanti
3:after applying the patches and deploying theOBI Mobile App Designer (MAD) manually using WebLogic configuration the bounce all the services on the OBI (all components)
4:the Run the Security Configuration as described in the blog . it wil give error if the services of console is not started as it awaits for the port 7001 of weblogic
5: after the successful completion of the security configuration restart all bi components on the OBI side and wiat for all the services to come up

App Service iOS "get started" demo client

Is there a version of the iOS "get started" demo client app written in Swift?

Will (does) Adobe support Microsoft's new Surface 3 in terms of mobile apps?

I just pre ordered the Surface 3 as a replacement for an iPad 2. I'm hoping that Adobe will migrate some of the mobile apps that I currently enjoy over to the Windows 8 platform. I know that I can run the full versions of Photoshop, Illustrator ect. but it's the Adobe Color, Brush, Shape and the like that I'm interested in.

Hi Grey,
We are glad that you liked the mobile apps and you wanted them to try on Surface pro 3. We would like to inform you that our engg. team is working hard spread this mobile experience to all the mobile device users, not just IOS users.
We would not be able to provide any information around Mobile apps on Surface pro 3, however, you would be able to enjoy Mobile apps on Android devices in near future.
Thanks,
Atul Saini

Mobile App Activation Fails

Hi, I am trying to test the MFA Mobile App on my Android phone. Phone based authentication is working fine but the mobile app fails to activate. My server is Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with MFA Server 6.1.1.15297.
I can log into the User Portal (with phone based authentication), generate an activation code, scan the QR barcode but then the app always returns "Activation failed, Please check the activation code to ensure it is correct. Error details: Server Error"
The URL in the mobile app is definitely correct. I am using self signed certificates with a CN equal to the URL. I have imported the certificate into the Trusted Root store on the server, my laptop client, and I tried to import it to the android 4.2.2 phone.
It says it imported it but then I can't see it in the list. None of this seems to have made any difference.
The MultiFactorAuthSvc log contains:
2014-04-01T14:46:24.453125Z|i|1352|3168|pfsvc|Phone App activation code '864598222' generated for user 'Andy.Pattrick'
2014-04-01T14:46:48.937500Z|e|1352|3168|iisabo|WMI error: -2147217394
2014-04-01T14:46:49.484375Z|e|1352|3960|credStore|Couldn't read credential identified by 'PfSmtp'. Element not found. (0x00000490 = 1168)
I googled those errors but came up pretty empty handed
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone got this working on Android using self signed certificates. I only have 19 days left on the trial and I need to establish whether the mobile app will work so I'm keen to get this working.
Cheers Andy.

Got the same issue and found the solution:
Issue: MFA activation works on Windows phone and iPhone , but not on the Android. This case is related with the Lync app issue with Android.
If you have add the correct http binding with the certificate hash than Lync mobile on android will work.
but in our case we used unique certificate and than MFA activation did not work either. So as you can only add one ipport0.0.0.0:443 related with the certificate has, you can NOT use unique certificate for ADFS federation and MFA activation on the same server
using a single IP address.
We found two solutions:
1) Either use a wildcard or SAN certificate
2) Bind the unique certificate namen with a unique ip address.
