Azure Entra ID & IAM Workshop, App Integration with MSAL, Terraform & Kubernetes
Two days: integrate Azure Entra ID with MSAL into an existing application for Java, C#, Node.js and Python, including Terraform and group/user management.
Enterprise applications increasingly rely on Azure Entra ID as a central identity platform. Support for OIDC, OAuth2, and MSAL across multiple programming languages enables secure authentication and authorization. This allows projects to be implemented in a structured manner while remaining sustainably maintainable and extensible.
