Hi Support,

Currently have a Python web application hosted on an on-prem server and the plans are underway to migrate the application into an AWS EC2.  We'd like to authenticate users via single sign on feature via Azure AD. Are you able to provide any resources on how to enable this feature against Azure AD in our custom develop application or I’m open to any other suggestions. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!  

Best,

SHanaka

Hi @Shanaka Hendawitharana

Thank reaching out to the community.

Microsoft have the Microsoft Authentication Library for Python which allows you to configure your app so your users can authenticate in Azure AD.

Please review the documentations below.

There are several sample apps and tutorials listed in the docs below you can run for testing purposes.
