Using default ASP.Net MVC setup, how do I Sign in using a Microsoft Account?

Question

Why do I continuously receive "The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid."?

My site is hosted in Azure. I'm trying to Login via the Microsoft sign-in button. I haven't really made many changes from the default ASP.Net MVC out-of-the-box template. All I've really changed was to uncomment the app.UseMicrosoftAccountAuthentication line and add the clientId and clientSecret.

Do I have the Redirect URL set up incorrectly?

Site: http://mysite.azurewebsites.net

Redirect URL: http://mysite.azurewebsites.net/

I read somewhere that you need to specify a Redirect URL in the form of http://www.mysite.azurewebsites.net. Can anyone confirm or deny that? I do not need the www in my current set up.

The error I consistently receive is:

https://login.live.com/err.srf?lc=1033#error=invalid_request&error_description=The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid. The expected value is 'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf' or a URL which matches the redirect URI registered for this client application.&state=SomeLongPossiblyEncryptedString

This message is displayed on the page returned after an attempt to login:

Is this a problem on Microsoft's side or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

From the default MVC what works for me (just tested about 5 minutes ago) for the redirect URL is

http://testcrap.azurewebsites.net/signin-microsoft

All the documentation I've found says to use

http://testcrap.azurewebsites.net/login/microsoftaccount

But that doesn't work for me... signin-microsoft does

OR if that doesn't work then use something like firebug to see what the request to the oauth provider looks like and then whatever the redirecturi is inside of that request is what you need to use..
