I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to utilize the Sharepoint 2013 REST API remotely from my client app (not Office/Sharepoint 'App' - my own front-end) when the Sharepoint server is on premises.
I'm aware of solutions for using the REST API for Sharepoint Online + Office 365 via the new OAuth authentication mechanisms:
for Win 8 store apps:
http://sharepointwinrt.codeplex.com/
http://allthatjs.com/2012/03/28/remote-authentication-in-sharepoint-online/
for a Office/Sharepoint remote 'app':
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/SharePoint-2013-Hello-25f8c6f1
But, all of the above assume Azure ACS since that is, what I believe , Sharepoint 2013's OAuth implementation requires, a STS giving out context tokens - which then you can use to get access tokens.
My situation is very simple. Intranet Sharepoint server. Client application (Web, Win8 Store App, or thick client) running on another intranet machine. I went down the path of using FBA authentication for my site collections, but it is unclear how to use FBA for authentication for the new REST API.
Any pointers? Is this possible?
Thanks,
