Add support for AD auth #396

Closed nirinchev closed 7 years ago

jpsim commented 7 years ago

If we start introducing changes that break syncing between different versions of the demo, we should document it in the README. An authentication method that is only supported by one version of the app counts as that.

Note seems to me this is only a breaking sync problem until we have answered the issue Connect multiple authentication methods to single SyncUser?

Long-term, it should be completely OK to use different auth methods on different devices or at different times on the same device.

No. With username/password, all versions of RealmTasks can interoperate and sync between each other.

With Active Directory auth (or CloudKit for that matter), if you create an account with the Xamarin version, you can't also authenticate to that same account with any other version of RealmTasks.

That's correct. The reasoning for exposing that in the Xamarin version is to have a sample that uses AD we can point interested customers at. I'll add a note in the readme about it.

Thanks, that's all I wanted!
