Send user to:
  http://consent.live.com/Delegation.aspx?RU=[return URL]&ps=Contacts.Invite&pl=[privacy URL]
where [return URL] is your post-back URL, and [privacy URL] is the URL of your privacy policy.

When the user has authenticated and granted your application permission, you receive a post-back which includes the parameter 'ConsentToken'.

Un-URL-encode the ConsentToken parameter to yield a querystring.

Extract the 'eact' parameter from the querystring.
