Windows Azure Facebook Token

I am using Windows Azure Mobile Services to log in using facebook. Once the user logs in I have the token but when I try to use this token with the facebook client I get a bad signature exeption.

Isnt it supposed to be the same token?

How are you getting the FB token? The token you receive from the mobile services client is the Azure Mobile Services token, and you can't use it with FB. To get the FB access token, you need to get it via a server script (with the user.getIdentities() function), as shown at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2012/10/25/getting-user-information-on-azure-mobile-services.aspx.

Another alternative is to use the Facebook SDK directly, which will give you a FB token (and you can then use that token to log in to Azure Mobile Services directly. The post at http://ntotten.com/2013/03/14/using-windows-azure-mobile-services-with-the-facebook-sdk-for-windows-phone/ has some information on how this can be done.
