Sign In Log Activity Details

Updated

- **Multifactor authentication:** When a user signs in with MFA, several separate MFA events are actually taking place. For example, if a user enters the wrong validation code or doesn't respond in time, more MFA events are sent to reflect the latest status of the sign-in attempt. These sign-in events appear as one line item in the Microsoft Entra sign-in logs. That same sign-in event in Azure Monitor, however, appears as multiple line items. These events all have the same `correlationId`.

Protecting Tokens Microsoft Entra Id

Updated

For devices which are Entra-joined or Entra-registered, Entra ID generates a multi-application Refresh Token used for application SSO, also known as the [Primary Refresh Token (PRT)](concept-primary-refresh-token.md).

Secretless authentication in Azure

Updated

Discover secretless authentication options in Azure to reduce credential risks, improve user experience, and align with zero-trust principles.

Test Automate Integration Testing

Updated

If you do not plan on testing your app in the same tenant you registered it in, or you are not an administrator in your tenant, you cannot consent to the permissions from the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com). You can still consent to some permissions, however, by triggering a sign-in prompt in a web browser.

Quickstart Configure App Access Web Apis

Updated

- **Application permissions** are for service- or daemon-type applications that need to access a web API as themselves, without user interaction for sign-in or consent. Unless you've defined application roles for your web API, this option is disabled.

Scenario Spa Sign In

Updated

MSAL.js provides a `logoutRedirect` method in v2 that clears the cache in browser storage and redirects to the Microsoft Entra sign out page. After sign out, the redirect defaults to the sign in start page. For the after sign out experience, you can set the `postLogoutRedirectUri` to redirect the user to a specific URI. This URI should be registered as a redirect URI in your application registration.

Developer Glossary

Updated

When you register/update an application, both an application object and a corresponding [service principal object](#service-principal-object) are created/updated for that tenant. The application object *defines* the application's identity configuration globally (across all tenants where it has access), providing a template from which its corresponding service principal objects are *derived* for use locally at run-time (in a specific tenant).

Universal Tenant Restrictions

Updated

Authentication plane enforcement happens at the time of Entra ID or Microsoft Account authentication. When the user is connected with the Global Secure Access client or via Remote Network connectivity, Tenant Restrictions v2 policy is checked to determine if authentication should be allowed. If the user is signing in to the tenant of their organization, tenant restrictions policy is not applied. If the user is signing in to a different tenant, policy is enforced. Any application that is integrated with Entra ID or uses Microsoft Account for authentication supports Universal Tenant Restrictions at the authentication plane.
