How do mobile apps typically manage user sessions?

I am a web developer making a mobile app. I have a Ruby on Rails backend for the mobile client. When a user signs up, it needs to create a new user or sign in; then it needs to fetch data for the user.
I don't want to require them to enter a username and password. It just should be seamlessly associated with their device/phone number/FB account/whatever.
If I got it right,
you can either use Facebook API or normal logging form. Then just make sure to enable automatic logging in and user won't have to enter data.

Windows store app certification failed - New user sign up for services missing

Our windows store application is especially for our customers.
It requires user credential to login.
It doesn't have any sign up page.
New users cannot access our application(They should be our customer.)
For new users, Admin will create an account and share them to the
user.
At the first time, user is requested to change password.
This is how our customer access our application
We submitted our free business app to the windows store.
But it is rejected with the reason saying "Apps that require users to sign in must either specify upfront in app description the type of access user must have and how to get it or provide a mechanism for new users to sign up for services from within the app. At a minimum this could be a link in the app to the website where the user can create a new account and sign up for services. Your app did not appear to provide this information to the user."
We do not have such a page. How can we proceed for resubmission?
Whether we need to provide description like "Our application can be accessible to our customers only"
or
provide support email address and saying like "Contact our support team/admin to create new account"
or
any suggestions?
Simply show a description which tells user that this app is only for registered customers. For more details you can write us to your email id or can fully describe the log in process there on the first page.
The description says it all. Include exactly what you have said in the application's description update. In addition include this information on the main page of your application for extra safety.
Note how DropBox has done it. When you install the app your very first screen has the login boxes and a link to "or Create an Account" which then brings you to a webpage to create the account.
You could link this to a page on your site that allows a user to contact your org for an account or register for one to then be approved, etc

How To Add A Secure Login To My C# Application?

I have a C# desktop app where a user enters his company ID card number as a simple form of "authentication" against a database table of valid employees. If the user is found in the table with the correct permission level, the app runs and the user can use all of the screens and menus in the application. Problem is anyone who has a valid user's ID number (perhaps from a lost or stolen ID card) can run the program and get to the data.
We want to make this application more secure. Is there a way to use the Windows ID and pwd to authenticate application users? At the very least we would like to force app users to re-enter the credentials (ID and pwd) of the currently logged in Windows user on the machine. If that fails to authenticate then the application quits and will not run.
What are my options for adding this "feature" to my app? What is the easiest way to do it? LDAP bind? Compare the Windows ID entered to the User ID found in LDAP? What is the most secure way to do it? I"m good with making my apps talk to the database, but I've never done much with Windows security or authentication, so you'll have to talk down at my level. We want to avoid storing Windows user ID's in the database. The app is a VS 2008 project, but I will someday need to do the same thing in my VS 2010 projects. Thanks!
