带有Node.js后端的Azure自定义身份验证

Question

I am trying to login clients using their email and password through Auth0 with a Node.js backend on the Azure app service and a Xamarin.Forms client. The problem is that I can't create a custom authentication on Node.js since the tutorial I was following used a .NET backend. I also followed this tutorial for Node.js backend both by the awesome Adrian Hall, but it seems to override the already exisiting Facebook login system, and I can't find enough material on that problem. Is there any other tutorial on doing that or am I getting something wrong?

Answer 1

You are doing something wrong. You can use Auth0 with no problems - Auth0 will be used for all the providers, and their client SDKs will allow you to choose Facebook, Google, Username/Password or anything else you need.

The mechanism for the process is as documented - I think you just need to re-read the blog post and understand the transaction - you use the Auth0 libraries to get the Auth0 token, then submit your Auth0 token to your custom login API (/.auth/login/custom) to mint an App Service token that is used by the Azure Mobile Apps client SDK.
