Has anyone implemented Microsoft Live for user login?  I think there is a certain elegance to not asking someone to come up with yet another ID and Password.
 
I am lost trying to integrate it with SL4 and DevForce.  If someone has done it I would love to see it.

alindzon,

I've looked around and it seems that as of now MS Live auth works by redirecting the user to a Windows Live ID sign-in page and then redirecting it back to your site with an identifier. You can find detailed information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676633.aspx
 
I also found some authentication samples posted at http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/110567/409938.aspx
 
I hope this helps.

You will notice the samples were written to interact with RIA, I thought perhaps someone, either at devforce, or one of your clients might have adapted it to work with devforce instead of RIA.
 
If so it would save me reinventing the wheel.
 
Probably not a big deal for you guys to figure out, and would be very handy since the fewer logins we all need to remember the better, and Microsoft is as pervasive as it gets.  Besides devforce is designed to work with microsoft tools, so why not also support Live as well?

Hi,
 
Yes, they are RIA examples (they might help to get started).
Have you used Windows Live Authentication previously? Is this the reason you are considering WLive Auth or is there any other particular reason? (besides the one you already stated)
What kind of application you are trying to build?
 
We don't have an example yet, but plan on having one in the near future.

I am writing a replacement for my firms web site, and i hate multiple web logins, so using live just makes sense.
 
No this is my first time doing this.
