Auth for a third party service calling our service in Azure

Question

Hi all,
we have a third party service calling an endpoint with a http POST request and sending us some JSON data and we need to establish a secure way to authorize the service.

Is it possible to register the external service somehow in Azure AD and make it using a standard auth flow?
Or, is it possible for the external service to use some Azure services to implement a simple auth based on an API Key that is rotated (automatically)?

Otherwise, which is the suggested practice in this use case?

Thanks in advance,
Dev.

Hi @Devil Stance

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

To manage the access of your Identity App you need to use App Registration

Azure App registrations are an easy and powerful way to configure authentication and authorization workflows for a variety of different client types. Everything from Android to a SAML application can be configured to use an app registration
