  • Application uses Caching Service and deployed to Windows Azure
  • Need to authorize access to the caches
  • Identities managed externally to the application

Solution Approach

ACS is used to solve this scenario.  review the following diagram:


  • ACS manages service identities and their credentials
  • Application requests a token from ACS based on credentials. ACS issues a token upon successful validation of the credentials
  • Application presents the token to Caching Service and upon successful validation of the token application is granted access to the Caching Service.
