Using Microsoft Graph API delegated clients in ASP.NET Core
This post shows how Microsoft Graph API can be used in both ASP.NET Core UI web applications and also ASP.NET Core APIs for delegated identity flows. The ASP.NET Core applications are secured using Microsoft.Identity.Web. In the API project, the Graph API client is used in a delegated flow with user access tokens getting an access […]
Implement a Web APP and an ASP.NET Core Secure API using Microsoft Entra ID which delegates to a second API
This article shows how an ASP.NET Core Web application can authenticate and access a downstream API using user access tokens and delegate to another API in Microsoft Entra ID also using user access tokens. Microsoft.Identity.Web is used in all three applications to acquire the tokens afor the Web API and the access tokens for the […]
