azure acs authentication in winrt

Question

I'm trying to authenticate users in a winrt metro app using Azure ACS. I've set up a relying party in azure with a simple webtoken.

on windows 8 I've installed the azure toolkit. When I created a new project from the winrt cloud (notifications + acs) template and I fill in all necessary parameters I can run the app, I get the live ID login screen but when I enter my credentials I get a message saying "We can't load that page".

Can anyone help me with this?

With "I fill in all necessary parameters" I'm assuming you mean the Configuration.xml file contains the necessary information to your ACS namespace etc...

Now, filling in this information and configuring ACS isn't enough to make the sample work. If you take a closer look at the Configuration.xml file, you'll see the following elements:

<!--Relying party return Url. The bouncer service url that will parse the token from ACS.-->
<ReturnUrl>https://127.0.0.1/bouncer</ReturnUrl>

<!--Authentication End Url. The bouncer service url used to validate if the authentication process is done.-->
<EndUrl>https://127.0.0.1/bouncer/end</EndUrl>

These are URLs from an Azure application you'll also need to run in order for the sample to work. In the toolkit you'll find the following directory:

WATWindows.Setup.v1.2.4\\Samples\\Notifications.CSharp\\Notifications.Backend

To be able to run the sample application you'll need to start this backend application first.

And did you already run the SetupSample.cmd script in the WATWindows.Setup.v1.2.4\\Samples\\Notifications.CSharp directory?
