I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally write this post Yesterday we released the Technical Preview of Windows Server 2016. Yes, it supports containers natively, awesome and groundbreaking, yadda yadda yadda… but if you follow this blog, I know what you look for every time a new Windows Server comes…
As you know, ADAL is not meant to be a protocol library. You tell us about your client app and the resource you want to access; we get the proper tokens for you from Azure AD, via few simple primitives and without burdening with nitty-gritty protocol details. That said… that arrangement is not…
Every time somebody needs help troubleshooting an app using ADAL, one of the first things we ask is to provide ADAL logs (and possibly a Fiddler trace as well). I usually have to write something like “you can find instructions on how to capture ADAL .NET logs in the Diagnostics section of https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-dotnet/blob/master/README.md”,…

If you head to the Azure documentation site, and in particular, the Azure Active Directory node – you’ll find a brand new developer guide. You can also go straight there by typing http I won’t actually know until you give us feedback, but something tells me that you’ll like it! The new guide…
I am super happy to finally be able to talk about this! Today our friends in MS open Tech are releasing the first developer preview of an Apache Cordova plugin for ADAL, the result of few months of merry collaboration between out teams. This plugin will be yet another arrow in your developer…
Time for another update to the libraries megadiagram! If you are nostalgic, you can find the old one here. So, what’s new? Well, we added an entire new target platform, .NET core and associated ASP.NET vNext – which resulted in a new drop of ADAL .NET 3.x and new OpenId Connect/OAuth2 middlewares (see…
