As John says it's already plumbed for you using RIA Services:- Services/AuthenticationService.cs and UserRegistrationService.cs (but I didn't see where the former was used.)

I've never really looked at this template before and it's a bit odd and probably goes back a bit. For instance it has it's own BusyIndicator and seems to use MVVM without the VM :-}
