Azure Active Directory Code Samples

Article
12/10/2014

You can use Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to add authentication and authorization to your web applications and web APIs. This section links you to code samples that show you how it's done and code snippets that you can use in your applications. On the code sample page, you'll find detailed read-me topics that help with requirements, installation and set-up. And the code is commented to help you understand the critical sections.

To understand the basic scenario for each sample type, see Authentication Scenarios for Azure AD.

Web Browser to Web Application

These samples show how to write a web application directs the user’s browser to sign them in to Azure AD.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
C#/.NET	WebApp-OpenIDConnect-DotNet	Use OpenID Connect (ASP.Net OpenID Connect OWIN middleware) to authenticate users from an Azure AD tenant.
C#/.NET	WebApp-MultiTenant-OpenIdConnect-DotNet	A multi-tenant .NET MVC web application that uses OpenID Connect (ASP.Net OpenID Connect OWIN middleware) to authenticate users from multiple Azure AD tenants.
C#/.NET	WebApp-WSFederation-DotNet	Use WS-Federation (ASP.Net WS-Federation OWIN middleware) to authenticate users from an Azure AD tenant.

Single Page Application (SPA)

This sample shows how to write a single page application secured with Azure AD.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
JavaScript, C#/.NET	SinglePageApp-DotNet	Use ADAL for JavaScript and Azure AD to secure an AngularJS-based single page app implemented with an ASP.NET web API back end.

Native Application to Web API

These code samples show how to build native client applications that call web APIs that are secured by Azure AD. They use Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL) and OAuth 2.0 in Azure AD.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
C#/.NET	NativeClient-DotNet	A .NET WPF application that calls a web API that is secured by using Azure AD.
C#/.NET	NativeClient-WindowsStore	A Windows Store application that calls a web API that is secured with Azure AD.

C#/.NET	WebAPI-OnBehalfOf-DotNet	A native client application that calls a web API, which gets a token to act on behalf of the original user, and then uses the token to call another web API.
C#/.NET	NativeClient-WindowsPhone8.1	A Windows Store application for Windows Phone 8.1 that calls a web API that is secured by Azure AD.
ObjC	NativeClient-iOS	An iOS application that calls a web API that requires Azure AD for authentication.
C#/.NET	WebAPI-ManuallyValidateJwt-DotNet	A native client application that includes logic to process a JWT token in a web API, instead of using OWIN middleware.
C#/Xamarin	NativeClient-Xamarin-Android	A Xamarin binding to the native Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL) for the Android library.e
C#/Xamarin	NativeClient-Xamarin-iOS	A Xamarin binding to the native Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL) for iOS.
C#/Xamarin	NativeClient-MultiTarget-DotNet	A Xamarin project that targets five platforms and calls a web API that is secured by Azure AD.
C#/.NET	NativeClient-Headless-DotNet	A native application that performs non-interactive authentication and calls a web API that is secured by Azure AD.

Web Application to Web API

These code samples show how use OAuth 2.0 in Azure AD to build web applications that call web APIs that are secured by Azure AD.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
C#/.NET	WebApp-WebAPI-OpenIDConnect-DotNet	Call a web API with the signed-in user's permissions.
C#/.NET	WebApp-WebAPI-OAuth2-AppIdentity-DotNet	Call a web API with the application's permissions.
C#/.NET	WebApp-WebAPI-OAuth2-UserIdentity-Dotnet	Add authorization with OAuth 2.0 in Azure AD to an existing web application so it can call a web API.
JavaScript	WebAPI-Nodejs	Set up a REST API service that's integrated with Azure AD for API protection. Includes a Node.js server with a Web API.
C#/.NET	WebApp-WebAPI-MultiTenant-OpenIdConnect-DotNet	A multi-tenant MVC web application that uses OpenID Connect (ASP.Net OpenID Connect OWIN middleware) to authenticate users from an Azure AD tenant. Uses an authorization code to invoke the Graph API.

Server or Daemon Application to Web API

These code samples show how to build a daemon or server application that gets resources from a web API by using Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL)and OAuth 2.0 in Azure AD.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
C#/.NET	Daemon-DotNet	A console application calls a web API. The client credential is a password.
C#/.NET	Daemon-CertificateCredential-DotNet	A console application that calls a web API. The client credential is a certificate.

Calling Azure AD Graph API

These code sample show how to build applications that call the Azure AD Graph API to read and write directory data.

Language/Platform	Sample	Description
Java	WebApp-GraphAPI-Java	A web application that uses the Graph API to access Azure AD directory data.
PHP	WebApp-GraphAPI-PHP	A web application that uses the Graph API to access Azure AD directory data.
C#/.NET	WebApp-GraphAPI-DotNet	A web application that uses the Graph API to access Azure AD directory data.
C#/.NET	ConsoleApp-GraphAPI-DotNet	This console app demonstrates common Read and Write calls to the Graph API, and shows how to execute user license assignment and update a user's thumbnail photo and links.
C#/.NET	ConsoleApp-GraphAPI-DiffQuery-DotNet	A console application that uses the differential query in the Graph API to get periodic changes to user objects in an Azure AD tenant.
