This is a hands-on lab for authenticating an example application using Windows Azure ACS, and performing diagnostics on the application once it has been deployed.
- Visual Studio 2012 or later
- [Identity and Access Tools for Visual Studio 2012] (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/e21bf653-dfe1-4d81-b3d3-795cb104066e) unless you have Visual Studio 2013
- WCF Data Services 5.3 Tools
Follow Exercise 1 in the hands-on lab at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brunoterkaly/archive/2014/03/03/introduction-to-windows-azure-active-directory.aspx. This exercise will show you how to provision a new Windows Azure Active Directory Tenant and hook it up to a new MVC application.
If you're using Visual Studio 2013, you need to configure Active Directory authentication upon creating your Web Project, rather than using the Identity and Access Tool.
If you finish early, try tackling Exercise 2. This will involve querying your Active Directory for user data and displaying it in your application.
