It’s that time of the year again – the time to pack for the Cloud Identity Summit! I love to go to CIS. The identity community isn’t huge, and it’s always a pleasure to spend time with like-minded people – the Ping guys do a great job in creating an environment that is…
It’s hard to believe, but it might be about 5 years that I don’t visit Belgium for talking about identity. I think the last time was for TechDays 2011. Well, thanks to the awesome Mike Martin – I am back! I will be presenting a couple of sessions at Techorama 2016, at Utopolis…

I hope you guys are checking out the awesome AzureCon 2015 live feed on the c9 home page right now! I had the honor and privilege of recording one of the virtual sessions that were made available today. This time I had an interesting challenge – I had only 30 mins to cover…
I am finishing the MAADWA’s chapter on the Azure AD application model, and just realized that we don’t have in the docs any place where we highlight the IDs of the OOB Azure AD permissions. I am always a bit befuddled when I open the manifest of one app and see all those…
Here there’s another (very) frequently asked question. I have the eerie sensation that I have already blogged about it, but a quick search did not yield any result post-WIF…. so here you go. Say that I have a web app or a web API secured with Azure AD (or any other provider, really)….
