Add-AzureAccount authentication without ADFS

Question

We're not currently federated with Azure, and Add-AzureAccount will not give me the option of using my MS Live ID for authentication. Is there a way to authenticate to Azure via PowerShell WITHOUT THE PUBLISH SETTINGS FILE? We need to use Live IDs like we do when we sign in to the portal. Error below:

Add-AzureAccount : Federated serviced at /adfs/services/trust/13/usernamemixed returned error: ID3242: The security token could not be authenticated or authorized.: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

Answer 1

It absolutely is trying to federate. When I enter my user creds, and I assume this because we'r federated with ACS, it redirects to my federation server. This may be because my LiveID has the same email address as the federated user account I'm authenticating to ACS with.
