Live Connect as Azure ACS Identity Provider

Question

I am using Azure ACS as a federation gateway for my application and I allow users to authenticate with Google, Yahoo & Windows Live ID. I need the user's email address. Google and Yahoo provide the email but Windows Live ID does not.

I can get the email address for a user if they authenticate with Live Connect but there is no Live Connect Identity Provider available in Azure ACS. Is there any way to configure Live Connect as an Identity Provider in ACS?

Answer 1

No, ACS doesn't currently support Live Connect.

Answer 2

There seems to be a way, a bit convoluted, but by becoming the broker and using live connect API, you can achieve this functionality.
