Book description
Build advanced authentication solutions for any cloud or web
environment
Active Directory has been transformed to reflect the
cloud revolution, modern protocols, and today’s newest SaaS
paradigms. This is an authoritative, deep-dive guide to building
Active Directory authentication solutions for these new
environments. Author Vittorio Bertocci drove these technologies
from initial concept to general availability, playing key roles in
everything from technical design to documentation. In this book, he
delivers comprehensive guidance for building complete solutions.
For each app type, Bertocci presents high-level scenarios and quick
implementation steps, illuminates key concepts in greater depth,
and helps you refine your solution to improve performance and
reliability. He helps you make sense of highly abstract
architectural diagrams and nitty-gritty protocol and implementation
details. This is the book for people motivated to become
experts.
Active Directory Program Manager Vittorio Bertocci shows you how
to:
Address authentication challenges in the cloud or on-premises
Systematically protect apps with Azure AD and AD Federation Services
Power sign-in flows with OpenID Connect, Azure AD, and AD libraries
