Tutorial: Enable your Python Flask webapp to Sign-in users and call APIs with the Microsoft identity platform
The Microsoft identity platform, along with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) are central to the Azure cloud ecosystem. This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of modern authentication with Python, using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for Python
We recommend following the chapters in successive order. However, the code samples are self-contained, so feel free to pick samples by topics that you may need at the moment.
⚠️ This is a work in progress. Come back frequently to discover more samples.
- Python 3.8
- A virtual environment to install python packages into
- Visual Studio Code
- VS Code Azure Tools Extension
Please refer to each chapter's README for sample-specific prerequisites.
- Some familiarity with the Flask Web Framework
- Some familiarity with Linux/OSX terminal or Windows PowerShell
- jwt.ms for inspecting your tokens.
- Fiddler for monitoring your network activity and troubleshooting.
- Follow the Azure AD Blog to stay up-to-date with the latest developments.
Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific recommendations.
 |
1.1 Sign-in with Azure AD Sign-in your users with Azure AD and learn to work with ID Tokens. |
 |
1.2 Sign-in with Azure AD B2C Sign-in your customers with Azure AD B2C. Learn to integrate with external social identity providers. Learn how to use user-flows and custom policies. |
 |
2.1 Acquire an Access Token from Azure AD and call Microsoft Graph Here we build on the concepts we learnt earlier to authenticate users to got further and acquire an Access Token for and then call the Microsoft Graph API. |
