I'm trying to get Google authentication working against Azure App Service from a web site and later hopefully from Cordova. There is a lot of information related to the old Azure Mobile Services, but not much on App Services. Microsoft did exclude tutorials on how to do it from web.
I included <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/mobileservices/MobileServices.Web-1.2.7.min.js"></script>, don't know if this is still current?
Any pointers on how to handle authentication are appreciated!
This is possible using the Authentication/Authorization feature. Refer this article for more information: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/blog/announcing-app-service-authentication-authorization/
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-how-to-configure-google-authentication/
AFAIK, there is no native support for Cordova in Azure App Service Mobile App. You will have to implement this yourself.

how to use AWS RDS in flutter dart code?
I went through - this post
It says -
I work on the AWS SDK team. I am not aware of any plans to support Flutter at this point. I will take this to my team as a feature request and will post back
Should I do as suggested here?
Build your own service layer using HTTP, gRPC that talks to some backend service that provides access to a data store. You can do this with Express, Rails, CloudFunctions, etc.
You can either use dart code to do HTTP/gRPC, or use Platform channel to wrap dart code around native iOS and Android code of AWS official SDK.
On another note, I'm highly concerned when you connect directly from mobile (Flutter) to database (AWS RDS). Please be aware that anything on mobile app can be reversed engineer, and your database connection credential is not safe. It's recommended to have only backend proxy, or at least severless (such as AWS lambda function) connect directly to database (not mobile or web frontend). The only exception is with Firebase Realtime Database because it has seamless integration with Firebase Authentication
I need to develop a multiplatform application (Android, IOS, WEB and maybe Desktop) with backend in django rest framework using google cloud plataform.
What flow is recommended?
Which of the products and solutions offered should I use? Is it possible to implement a web site in GCP or should I deploy it to a normal site host and connect it to the backend?
Sorry for the levels of questions. I am a beginner in the cloud and I am really lost in the way these technologies are used.
Essentially, I'm wanting to create an Oauth Client as an App so I can get data from Dynamics for multiple customers. Does anyone know if this is possible to do in AppSource or do you know of another way?
I have a service that will be served in a cloud different than Azure so there really isn't anything for me to submit as an App and I really don't want every customer to have to setup their own App that gives my service the privileges/access it needs, but it's looking like I may have to.
It sounds like you'll want to register an app with Azure AD (the OAuth2.0 service/identity provider for work and school accounts), and create a multi-tenant app. Then you can configure this app in the Azure Portal to get permissions to the APIs the app wants tokens to call (in your case Dynamics or the Microsoft Graph).
Once this app is written, you can code up your app using one of the Azure AD Auth Libraries. Here's some sample code for a .NET web API. You can find more code samples on Github and search active directory. Moreover, the Azure Active Directory Developer Landing Page is a great place to look for more resources on doing all of this.
i am developing mobile application for one of my web app. After long search on google i found cordova to be the best for cross platform mobile app development. I am developing cordova based front end with ionic framework. I want to know which web service is the best one to communicate between mobile app & server. I am familier with REST for webapp but have no idea for mobile.
Note: My database is on server & i am communicating through web services only so no local database resides on mobile.
Thanks in advance for quick response.
Well angularJS with PHP & JSON object combination would be the best combination for the web services to develop for cordova application. Angular js used for cordova is the best to put at web service level too with PHP.
I found my answer after long search....:-)
I have been working on a PHP project recently and I have created an API that will be consumed by mobile clients. I am using CodeIgniter as it provides a nice restful interface out of the box. I am unexperienced in PHP development and especially securing PHP web services. I was hoping to solicit some information about how I should go about implementing user authentication with my API. The information is not super sensitive but I do need clients to authenticate with the service.
Since my clients are mobile devices I'm uncertain how to go about implementing a membership provider model using CI since I won't have the luxury of a session (or do I?). Will my users merely send their credentials each time a request is made using SSL? Can someone provide me with some direction or documentation that might help?
Thanks!
Use Phil Sturgeon's Rest API. He's already built these things in.
