[Solved] azure mobile services authentication

[Kareem]

I can't get azure mobile services client.login to work within Icenium. 

Here's what I've tried.
Calling it directly from my main.js.
I get an error saying requests from file:// are not supported. Must be hosted in a server. 

So I tried that. Hosted it on my server and loaded it in an InAppBrowser. Works to get authenticated within the browser, but my icenium app still has no idea what happened. It can't access anything from the InAppBrowser. 

Has anybody done this before?

Hi Kareem,

I suspect you're using Icenium Mist i.e. you're trying to make a cross domain request from your browser and therefore you're subject to CORS (Cross-origin resource sharing) limitation. This matter has been discussed in this forum thread, so review it to get better understanding on your options how to proceed.

Hi Kareem,

If you're using the in-browser client in Chrome, you can get the Telerik AppBuilder Helper for Chrome which enables Ajax CORS requests for the device simulator to spare you the CORS errors.

You can get it from here. The team plans to bring more improvements in the Helper in the future, so keep an eye on it.
