Windows.Security.Authentication.OnlineId Namespace

Enables both apps and desktop programs to use Live to authenticate users by using their Microsoft account. After authentication, apps can get back a JSON token with an ID that can be used for that user with your application.

Note

If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.

Classes

OnlineIdAuthenticator	Provides an app with the ability to start the authentication request to get JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) tokens to use with your service or request tickets that can be used to get data that the user has consented to for your app using the Live ConnectAPI. In a desktop app, before using an instance of this class in a way that displays UI, you'll need to associate the object with its owner's window handle. For more info, and code examples, see Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow. Note If you're developing for Windows 10 or later, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.
OnlineIdServiceTicket	Contains the ticket that is obtained after the user authenticates to this app or has provided consent to access user data stored in Live. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.
OnlineIdServiceTicketRequest	Provides the ability for an app to specify the service and policy that is used to authenticate a Live user to obtain identity properties and tickets. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.
OnlineIdSystemAuthenticator	This class handles an app's attempts to acquire the local user id on a device, for use with the System Ticket feature (see Remarks).
OnlineIdSystemAuthenticatorForUser	Represents the authentication info for a single user entity on a single device (system).
OnlineIdSystemIdentity	Identifies the local device (system) on which the user account in question exists.
OnlineIdSystemTicketResult	Represents the result of a call to retrieve a system ticket.
SignOutUserOperation	Allows users to sign out of your app. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.
UserAuthenticationOperation	Asynchronously gets the user's identity and corresponding tickets and properties. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.
UserIdentity	Contains the ID, tickets, and other information associated with a user. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.

The user must see the user interface in order for the app to obtain any user data, if not app will see an error when they try to obtain user data. Note If you are developing for Windows 10 or greater, use the Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.Core APIs instead. For more information, see Web account manager.

OnlineIdSystemTicketStatus

Represents the status of a call to retrieve the system ticket.
