Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Introduction

As you might have known The Windows Azure Access Control Services where completely changed in the RTM release.

• No more portal management. Rules are created using tools like ACM.exe which actually calls a set of web services.
• No more Federation Bindings. Tokens are acquired and validated manually.

I found a very good introductory of the new access control service which I recommend to read.

The new Azure AppFabric SDK provides few simple samples  and a nice WPF tool for access rules management.

I did not find yet a simple integration with WIF but I am still looking…
