Day in brief

External ID identity verification guidance compares credentials, REST claims, and OIDC federation

The period is documentation-led. A new External ID article compares three identity-verification integration patterns, while updates clarify App Gallery OIDC validation, Private Access Profile v2 switching, and entitlement-management reporting routes. The remaining edits are primarily author metadata and link maintenance.

  • The new guidance compares Verified ID credentials, direct REST API claims, and OIDC federation. It covers partner-based proofing, External ID authentication, setup considerations, privacy and credential issues, tenant setup, and longer-running verification journeys. Teams can use it to select an integration pattern; the supplied guidance requires no administrator action.

  • The updated guidance describes validation for both application configurations, including configuration-specific endpoint requirements and eligibility guidance. Teams onboarding an app should use the path matching the app architecture and verify scopes, endpoints, and redirect URIs.

  • The page now says switching to v2 cannot be undone. It also states that previous configurations carry over and that end-user traffic is unchanged, giving administrators the key migration constraint and expected continuity.

  • The updated page links to the Microsoft Graph accessDriftSummary API and separately identifies review through the Microsoft Entra admin center. A related link update points to the current List accessDriftSummary API location.
