How to do Windows Live Authentication in JAVA.

Question

Hi,

Does anybody has any pointer regarding this?

We are currently trying with Java SOAP API. The URL used for windows live authentication is:https://login.live.com/RST2.srf

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion" xmlns:wsp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:wssc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/sc" xmlns:wst="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust"&gt;

Answer 1

Use consent

https://consent.live.com/Delegation.aspx?
ps = Passport service you want (Contacts.update|Contacts.index....)
ru = Return URL
pl = Policy url
app = your appid+timestamp+signature

If you link your users to this, Microsoft Live Service will authenticate your app then send a token as a base64 encrypted parameter to Return URL, you can parse that to get the Delegated Token for the user, their live id, the life-expectancy of the token, the permissions available and various other bits of information
