How to set up an OIDC client to authenticate with Azure

Question

Does Azure even support an OIDC client authenticating with Azure?
The only documentation we can find (and the example of Power Apps) seems to involve the Apps authenticating with an external identity provider. We would like to authenticate our app with/via/through Azure.

Hi @Tyler Biddle · Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, Azure AD supports OIDC. If the client apps are configured with appropriate Microsoft identity platform authentication libraries, Azure AD can authenticate and sign-in users using OIDC.

• Here is the link to the official documentation: Microsoft identity platform and OpenID Connect protocol
• Here is an ASP.NET Core Sample that uses OIDC protocol to sign-in users in the web app.
