CBA on Android

Question

I have quick question

on Android, can app do CBA (cert based authentication ) with latest MSAL library without broker (MS-authenticator ) ?

My certificate is in yubikey and my installed native app is using latest MSAL library but NOT wired with broker. Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi @testuser7 , Thanks for reaching out.

Applications using the latest Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) can do certificate-based authentication (CBA) on Android devices without the Microsoft Authenticator app.

However, to support YubiKeys with Microsoft Entra CBA, YubiKey Android SDK has been integrated into the Microsoft broker code which can be leveraged through the latest MSAL.

I would suggest you post this idea at the Azure Feedback Portal, which is monitored by the product team for feature enhancements.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta

Thanks @Sweta Mathur but I am confused by your two different statements.

you said that apps using latest MSAL can do CBA without broker.

of course yubikey-SDK has been integrated into broker but like I said, app is NOT using broker. So can app do CBA just with the help of latest MSAL ??
