Is it possible to use Azure Mobile App and Azure AD B2C to authenticate localhost web?

Question

I know that local debugging using tokens is possible using http://www.systemsabuse.com/2015/12/04/local-debugging-with-user-authentication-of-an-azure-mobile-app-service/. Would it be possible to go to thesite.com/.auth/login/aad and login and use that cookie for localhost (for testing the web app - not the mobile app)?

I am currently using the .auth/login/aad cookie to authenticate Nancy. I do by generating a ZumoUser out of the Principal.

        Before.AddItemToEndOfPipeline(UserToViewBag);

and

    internal static async Task<Response> UserToViewBag(NancyContext context, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        var principal = context.GetPrincipal();

        var zumoUser = await ZumoUser.CreateAsync(context.GetPrincipal());

        context.ViewBag.User = zumoUser;
        context.Items["zumoUser"] = zumoUser;

        var url = context.Request.Url;
        if (zumoUser.IsAuthenticated)
        {
            _logger.DebugFormat("{0} requested {1}", zumoUser, url.Path);
        }
        else
        {
            _logger.DebugFormat("{0} requested {1}", "Anonymous", url.Path);
        }

        return null;
    }

Yes. You need to read "the book" as it is a complex subject. The book is available open source at http://aka.ms/zumobook and the content you want is in Chapter 2.
