It’s again preview time for ADAL .NET! I can’t believe we are already working on version 3 – this pace would have been unthinkable just few years back, and yet today it is barely enough to keep up with the new possibilities that the tech landscape offers. Version 1 and 2 have been…
Many web apps are structured as “single page apps”, or SPA: they have a JavaScript-heavy frontend and a Web API backend. Notable examples: Outlook Web App, Gmail. Properly securing SPA’s traffic between its JS frontend and its Web API backend requires an OAuth2 flow, the implicit grant, that Azure AD did not expose……
I can’t believe TechEd Europe is already a mere week away! This year I have just 1 session, but TONS of new stuff to cover… including news we didn’t break yet! 75 mins will be very tight, but I’ll do my best to fit everything in. If you want to put it in…
About one week ago I got a mail from my good friend Brady, who was looking for some clarifications about our Azure AD multitenant web app sample. That piqued my curiosity: Brady doesn’t stay still for one sec and we chat about identity all the time, but multitenancy? As it turns out, he…
This afternoon I was absentmindedly fiddling with one of our fossil plates, when my thoughts went to the upcoming Azure AD dev session I am scheduled to deliver in just few weeks at TechEd Europe. I have a lot of ground to cover: ideally I would like to talk about traditional web apps,…

Projects created through that experience implement their identity functionality with Windows Identity Foundation….
It’s been a loong time since I recorded a screencast, and I am definitely rusty – but I want to slowly ease back in the game. Here you can find a quick and not-so-polished video tutorial on ADAL. Enjoy!
Today it is my honor and privilege to announce the general availability of ADAL v2 for .NET, Windows Store and Windows Phone apps! If you want to get it, all you need to do is to enter the following from the package manager in VS: Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory Let’s talk about what we are…
An alternative title for this post could have been “Why users of my native app are prompted by Azure AD for consent every time they authenticate?”. In brief: for native apps, the consent granted by the user is recorded by Azure Active Directory in the refresh token issued on the first successful authentication….
In short: using ADAL from a Universal App is easy, but not obvious. For what we hear, your experience is that you try to add a reference to the ADAL NuGet in the shared project – and it fails. There are a number of reasons for that. This post will give a bit…
