title: Azure Mobile Services and Asp.net Identity Architecture
body: <p>I am hoping someone can clear up how these things can work together.</p>
  
  <p>I want to be my own identity provider, so in my web api I have an OAuth token provider. I want users to register with me and then be authenticated using my token provider. The idea in the future is that more of my mobile apps and web apps will be accessible using the OAuth login sharing the user's identity.</p>
  
  <p>So, if I use azure mobile services how do I implement the normal asp.net identity stuff?
  And, how would a normal web app be able to use the data stored in azure mobile services? Would I have two dbcontexts one for mobile and one for web?</p>
  
  <p>I've been reading and watching a lot of stuff on azure but nothing seems to show how I can do this. Most of it has to do with using external providers like facebook, ms, twitter, etc. I want to be one of those external providers, just not sure how to do it and allow my websites to still use the .net identity data.</p>
  
  <p>If you could point me to or post some example / tutorial / blogs that would be great.</p>
