Thanks, but the sample is not working very well. I'll continue trying. – VansFannel Apr 06 '11 at 15:44

Yes, there're a couple of options. A complete description is here:

(Which uses a similar approach as described in the ACS sample)

and here (this one doesn;t use an embedded browser):

With the first approach, you can use any authentication method supported by ACS (not just LiveID).

ACS (Access Control Service) is a service in the Windows Azure Platform for identity management. Out of the box it allows you to federate identity with LiveID, Google, Yahoo!, Facebook and any Open-ID and WS-Federation/WS-Trust identity provider.

Thanks for your answer but I'm terrible lost. What is ACS and how can it helps me? — VansFannel, Apr 07 '11 at 08:47
