Summary


In this chapter, you learned about single- and multi-tenant applications and the differences between them. You handled both application types in your environment. Furthermore, you discovered roles and claims in both application types, so now you can provide a role-based access control (RBAC) scenario. With all the other applications you've deployed, you now understand the differences between the different protocols, such as SAML2.0, OAuth2 with the different flow types, and OpenID Connect. You also learned how the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) helps you to provision users (synchronizing) from Azure AD to the application.

In the next chapter, you'll learn how to provide a cloud-based identity management life cycle. We'll focus on how to provide secure and usable authentication and identity management to your users.
