For Azure Bot Service there is no option to configure this to utilise ADAL over MSAL.

As an Azure service, it uses MSAL to handle the service principal. Therefore, anything that is given access using RBAC through the Bot Service service inherits those rights. This should be factored into your solution's overall architecture and design before implementation.

ADAL (Azure Active Directory Authentication Library): It is used for authenticating users and acquiring tokens to access protected resources. ADAL is typically used for authenticating users in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) scenarios.

MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library): It is a newer library that supports both Azure AD and Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft account, Azure AD B2C) authentication. MSAL is designed to be more flexible and support a broader range of scenarios.

Hi @Downard, Harry

Thanks for the question i guess

As of my last update in September 2021, the Azure Bot Service did not provide built-in support for configuring ADAL (Azure Active Directory Authentication Library) over MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library). At that time, MSAL was recommended as the preferred library for handling authentication scenarios.

MSAL is a more modern and versatile library that supports both Azure AD and Microsoft identity platform (including Azure AD B2C) authentication. It is designed to work with the latest identity features and is generally more suitable for modern application development.

While ADAL was commonly used in the past, Microsoft encouraged developers to migrate to MSAL for new projects and future updates.

However, Microsoft's documentation is regularly updated to reflect the latest features and changes in their services.
