Hello,

I'm so confused about trying to migrate the Auth method from azure AD to MSAL . I'm using client Id and client secret to auth my app (with python 3.10.4), so now, how should do I use for auth without azure AD? Can you give me examples?

would be great have the exact guide documentation to follow the right steps in order to learn this (I know SDK python is in Beta version so I discard this option to production projects).

Thank you for your post!

I understand that you're having issues with the migration from ADAL to MSAL and would like some examples or documentation on how to do this within Python. To hopefully help point you in the right direction, I'll share my findings below.

Findings:

Migrate your apps from Azure AD Graph to Microsoft Graph

You should be able to follow this documentation which has a checklist to help you plan your migration from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph to Microsoft Graph.

ADAL to MSAL migration guide for Python

This article highlights changes you need to make within Python to migrate an app from ADAL to MSAL.

How to migrate to MSAL

This section within the Migrate applications to the MSAL doc links to different app examples/tutorials to help with your migration.

Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for Python Issues

GitHub Repo for MSAL for Python Issues

Additional Link:

I hope this helps!

Hello,

thanks for answering. I'm reading documentation (many links :| ) but, should I concern about my app's client id and client secret? Maybe I'm confused between Azure AD API and Azure Active Directory (admin) and I just should change the url endpoint from AzureAD (https://graph.windows.net/) to Microsoft Graph endpoint, right?

Thank you for following up on this!

I reached out to my team regarding your issue and when it comes to your application(s) Client ID/ Secrets, these will remain the same. The ADAL to MSAL migration is mainly replacing / moving from one library (ADAL) to another (MSAL).

Following the ADAL to MSAL migration guide for Python documentation, you're correct - you'll have to change the URL endpoint from graph.windows.net to graph.microsoft.com, as mentioned under the Scopes not resources section. For more info.

In addition to changing the endpoint:

Ensure to update your Error handling since MSAL uses error codes.

Update your APIs from ADAL to MSAL.

Migrate existing refresh tokens for MSAL Python. For more info.

I hope this helps!
