Starts the asynchronous authentication operation with two inputs. You can call this method multiple times in a single application or across multiple applications at the same time.
Syntax
Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.WebAuthenticationBroker.authenticateAsync(options, requestUri).done( /* Your success and error handlers */ );
Parameters
- options
-
Type: WebAuthenticationOptions
The options for the authentication operation.
- requestUri
-
Type: Uri [JavaScript] | System.Uri [.NET] | Windows::Foundation::Uri [C++]
The starting URI of the web service. This URI must be a secure address of https://.
Return value
Type: IAsyncOperation<WebAuthenticationResult>
The way to query the status and get the results of the authentication operation. If you are getting an invalid parameter error, the most common cause is that you are not using HTTPS for the requestUri parameter.
Remarks
There is no explicit callbackUri parameter in this method. The application's default URI is used internally as the terminator. For more information, see GetCurrentApplicationCallbackUri. This method must be called on the UI thread.
When this method is used, session state or persisted cookies are retained across multiple calls from the same or different Windows Store apps.
