Thank you for making this. The fact you explained the different ways to implement AD was very useful and I'm glad you left the debugging part in, helps us learn what to check for when it doesn't work.

[@orjisamuelobinna9764]

Thank you greatly sir. Can this work for an API or I have to use a different approach

[@thejourneyofdevops1791]

You can use the same approach for an API, but you'll need to adjust the configuration and authorization.

Can this work with .NET YARP Gateway?

[@thejourneyofdevops1791]

Yes.
1. Prerequisites
Azure Entra ID Tenant: You need an app registration in Azure Entra ID for the YARP gateway.
.NET YARP Gateway: A working YARP-based reverse proxy project.
Backend Services: Services the YARP gateway will proxy requests to.
Microsoft.Identity.Web: A NuGet package for seamless integration with Azure Entra ID in .NET applications.
2. Register YARP Gateway in Azure Entra ID
3. Install Required NuGet Packages
4. Configure appsettings.json
5. Configure Program.cs

Hey I am developing SSO in .Net Core Web Api as my backend and Angular as my front end application can you help me out with my problem that I am using Azure AD as identity provider and SAML Response for authentication, but I am stuck in redirecting back to my frontend application If i am taking the response from Azure AD at the backend Endpoint.Since the link is getting broken from the client application to the my server application. I have tried solutions like polling not getting success in it. If you have any idea please connect with me.

[@thejourneyofdevops1791]

Not sure may be you can give a try on these options.
Option 1: Use a Frontend-Handled Relay State
Option 2: Direct Frontend Redirection from the Backend

If the company uses SSO which is Entra ID. When the user logs in to their laptop, the user just uses their Microsoft ID and he stays logged in. Can i use this example above to achieve the same, let’s say they log into their outlook email on browser and my application already recognises their login.
Also, could you please make a video on web api and share the steps in a zip or pdf in your description, it will really help your audience.
Great video 🙌🏼
