Summary


A lot of practical work, hopefully you liked it! From our perspective, it's always the best to work directly with the authentication methods and capabilities you have just learned. Working through this chapter moves you to touch Azure AD and ADFS to provide several authentication methods. We know that we have many pre-configuration tasks, but it helps you to know the application configurations and to apply the correct authentication configuration. You touched on WS-Federation, SAML, and OAuth2 methods, including Azure AD's user provisioning capabilities.

In the next chapter, we will dive further into the different authentication scenarios and also put the application proxy features in place. We'll be happy to see you in Chapter 8Using Azure AD App Proxy and Web Application Proxy.
