Identity

Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) Available on multiple platforms .NET, Windows Store, Windows Phone 8.1, iOS, Android, Node.JS, Java Open source Consistent primitives, native programming models Sophisticated features Works across Windows Server and Azure Active Directory Cache and automatic refresh Multi user support NOT a protocol library

ADAL v3 and Xamarin A PCL containing all the main primitives Build 2015 5/25/2018 11:22 PM ADAL v3 and Xamarin A PCL containing all the main primitives Platform specific assemblies handling presentation, token storage Dynamic dependency injection ADAL .NET v3 Nuget C# iOS Project C# Android Project C# Windows Project PCL Android PCL iOS PCL iOS .NET Desktop Android PCL Project Windows Store Windows Phone 8.1 Store PCL © 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.

ADAL – Main Token Acquisition Pattern Abstracts away most protocol considerations Handles tokens persistence & refresh automatically AuthenticationContext ctx= new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/contoso.onmicrosoft.com"); AuthenticationResult rez = await ctx.AcquireTokenAsync( "https://outlook.office365.com/", "5fc4a5a2-78d5-4d94-b890-a6e6b3341081");

ADAL .NET Current supported version: V3.x Desktop Default cache in-memory Extra flows for public clients only: Windows integrated authentication Direct use of username & password Windows Store & WinRT Persistent per-app cache Windows Runtime Components Works with C#, WinJS, C++ Full Xamarin Support

Data & Sync

The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully. 5/25/2018 11:22 PM The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully. © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.

5/25/2018 11:22 PM Adding offline sync to an app is usually hard. With App Service, it’s easy. © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.

Why use mobile data sync? Improve app responsiveness by caching server data locally on the device. Make apps resilient against intermittent network connectivity. Allow end-users to create and modify data even when there is no network access. Detect and handle conflicts when the same record is modified by more than one client.

Offline Data Sync

Microsoft Ignite 2016 5/25/2018 11:22 PM Push-to-sync Client devices sync infrequently or only by manual user action Saves battery Saves data usage Reduces server load Client registers queries with server Server sends a push notification when client needs new data When client receives push notification, it syncs that query. © 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.

Server side Client query is mapped to a Notification Hub tag Microsoft Ignite 2016 5/25/2018 11:22 PM Server side Client query is mapped to a Notification Hub tag Server sends push notification when query result has changed If data changes infrequently, server can send the push when data changes Else, scheduled job on server checks for changes to registered queries. © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

Intro to Azure Notification Hubs Microsoft Ignite 2016 5/25/2018 11:22 PM Intro to Azure Notification Hubs Client app retrieves handle from Platform Notification Service (PNS), sends to App Service backend Backend service registers with Notification Hub, using tags to represent a query App back-end sends notification to logical user or group of users using Notification Hub tags Notification Hub delivers notifications to matching devices via PNS Notification Hub manages scale Notification Hub maps tags to device handles © 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.

Managing Scale More clients means more load on data source Design queries so that server can use indexed columns to determine query change Minimize use of client-specific queries Reduces the number of “check changes” queries the server runs Consider sharding the database Consider using a secondary DB for change queries
