Managing Access with Azure Active Directory B2C

The significance of web application security has increased significantly due to the heightened risks of unsecured applications, data breaches, and hacks. These vulnerabilities have the potential to cause severe consequences, ranging from detrimental impacts on a company’s reputation to financial losses substantial enough to bankrupt even well-known businesses. In this chapter, we will learn about Azure Active Directory (AD) B2C. It is an Azure service that assists in the administration of customer and consumer access to your business-to-customer (B2C) applications. Leveraging the robust capabilities of Azure AD B2C, we can seamlessly implement robust web application security, reducing the necessity for custom code development in authentication and authorization processes.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introducing Azure AD B2C
  • Creating and configuring Azure AD B2C
  • Using...
