The Microsoft identity platform is a set of unified, related services for developing applications to authenticate a variety of user accounts. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Azure services for implementing user authentication and authorization. You’ll then learn how to use OAuth 2.0 to protect exposed APIs, the uses of shared access signatures for providing access to resources, and best practices when using SAS. Next, you’ll learn how to create a secure SAS to provide access to an Azure resource and how to include authentication into an application using Azure Active Directory. Lastly, you’ll learn how to enable Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to secure accounts, and use Microsoft identity to both register an application and provide users and groups access to applications. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure certification exam.
