Authentication and Authorization with Azure Ad using Implicit Flow and Security Groups

Authentication

The process of identifying is a process of identifying the identity of a person or process or device. This process identifies the end user and get the basic details about the user. This process only see if the user is who it is but has nothing to do with giving it access to the resources.

Authorization

Authorization is something that decide what part of the system or resources an end user can access based on their identity.

So, I want to know how these things are actually implemented in the real world.

Fow now, I am aware of Microsoft Identity Platform, Auth0 and Identity server.

I have started looking into MS Identity platform and how to implement these different Authentication flows in real world.

I am talking about real world implementations, so it is better to point you to the some code that I have started to write to get these implementations done.

As the title of the article says, I have use the Implicit flow to authenticate the user. AzureAdSamples is my GitHub repo that will eventually evolve to have most of these Authentication flows.

There not much to explain here if you follow the document in the github and try to run the app with the changes suggested in the Git document, you should be able to run this app and see the content.

Let me know if you face any issues.

Happy coding..
