Tutorial: Enable your Blazor Server app to sign-in users and call APIs with the Microsoft identity platform

The Microsoft identity platform, along with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) are central to the Azure cloud ecosystem. This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of enabling modern authentication for an ASP.NET Core Blazor Server, using the Microsoft Authentication Library and Microsoft.Identity.Web.

We recommend following the chapters in successive order. However, the code samples are self-contained, so feel free to pick samples by topics that you may need at the moment.

Chapter 1: Adding Authentication with Azure AD in your web application

	Sign-in with Azure AD Sign-in your users with the Microsoft Identity platform and learn to work with ID tokens.
	Sign-in with Azure AD B2C Sign-in your customers with Azure AD B2C. Learn to integrate with external social identity providers. Learn how to use user-flows and custom policies.

Chapter 2: Sign-in a user and get an Access Token for Microsoft Graph

	Acquire an Access Token from Azure AD and call Microsoft Graph Here we build on the concepts we built to authenticate users to further acquire an Access Token for Microsoft Graph and then call the Microsoft Graph API.

Chapter 3: Protect an API and call the API from your client app

	Protect and call a web API on Azure AD Protect your web API with the Azure AD. Use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected Web API.
	Protect and call a web API on Azure AD B2C Protect your web API with the Azure AD B2C. Sign-in a user using a client application, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected Web API.

Chapter 4: Deploy your solutions to Azure

	Deploy to Azure App Services Finally, we prepare your app for deployment to various Azure services. Learn how to package and upload files, Configure authentication parameters and use the various Azure services for managing your operations.

Chapter 5: Connect to Azure SQL Database using Azure AD authentication

	Connect to Azure SQL Database Signing into AAD and use the same Access Token to login into Azure SQL Database.
