OpenID Connect and Entra ID

Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is a multi-tenant, cloud-based directory and identity management service from Microsoft. Entra ID provides single sign-on (SSO) access to many cloud-based SaaS applications and includes a full suite of identity management capabilities.

OAuth is an open standard for authorization used by Entra ID. OpenID Connect is built on top of OAuth and extends it so it can serve as an authentication protocol rather than only an authorization protocol.

See Integrate Entra ID using OpenID Connect for instructions on configuring and integrating Entra ID with your solution.
