I am developing a mobile app and need to authenticate SharePoint 2013 from mobile app for content.
I thought of using oAuth but to use that you need to have Azure Access Control services.
Please suggest.
If it’s SharePoint Online, you’ll have to go through the web-login flow (e.g., open browser view, authenticate, retrieve token). Microsoft’s published ADAL for mobile devices to do just this, quickly and easily.
This gives you a token, which you can send to SharePoint to swap for an access token. Subsequent calls to the SharePoint API need that access token in the Authorization header as Bearer <token>.
for on-promise you will need SAML support and it is available by ADFS 2.0 as identity provider.
but some simple retrieving some content it could be RESTful service.  Â
