Implementing Authentication with MSAL

Securing applications and managing user identities is a critical requirement for modern software development. Implementing robust sign-in flows and token management from scratch can be complex and error-prone. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts and practical steps of implementing authentication using the Authentication Library (MSAL). You will gain the skills needed to integrate secure authentication flows, manage user sessions, and call protected APIs with confidence. What you'll learn: - Understand core identity concepts including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and tenant configurations - Configure application registration and permissions within identity providers - Acquire and cache security tokens securely using MSAL in client and server environments - Implement single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication flows - Call protected web APIs securely by attaching access tokens to requests - Troubleshoot common authentication errors and handle token expiration gracefully Starting with essential identity terminology and configuration basics, the course moves step-by-step through token acquisition, token caching strategies, and secure API integration. This program is designed for beginner developers and security enthusiasts, requiring no prior experience with identity protocols.
