Few months ago I wrote a quick post<\/a> to demonstrate how to get a token from Windows Azure AD in a Windows Phone 8 application. I am happy to report that many people have been successfully using that post as a starting point! However, few others didn\u2019t manage on their own and asked for help. Given that 1:1 help is unfeasible given my narrow bandwidth, I decided to write an even simpler sample app and push it on GitHub: you can find it here<\/a>.
In fact, I found it handy to have such app on my device! Hence, I am also publishing it on the Windows Phone Store \"Smile\".
This post is going to provide the help page for the app, with basic usage instructions.
Also: the code in the original post<\/a> didn\u2019t take advantage of the improvements we introduced in the meanwhile (ADFS support for OAuth2, portable HttpClient package for Windows Phone, id_token\u2026) hence I took the chance to freshen up those parts as well \u2013 I\u2019ll briefly discuss the code authentication logic in the appendix of the post. <\/p>\n

IMPORTANT<\/font><\/u><\/strong>: This is my personal blog. This app does not represent any best practice.I am not committing to support this sample in any shape or form. I am not a Windows Phone expert, and I did not write this sample in official capacity. <\/p>\n

How to Use the App<\/h2>\n

The application provides you a simple interface you can use to request an access token from a Windows Azure AD tenant or an ADFS W2012 R2 instance.
You can use this app to simulate requests from your own client applications, all you need to do is entering the values describing your client app and the resource you are targeting.<\/p>\n

Basic Usage<\/h3>\n

The main screen appears as in the following:<\/p>\n

You can use the text boxes to enter all the coordinates which define the request you want to submit, and specifically:<\/p>\n
