Azure Active Directory is a cloud based security token service (IdP) with many additional capabilities, including (but not limited to) access control, directory service, device management, a user consent framework, web proxy, and security reporting capabilities. Azure AD is a multi-tenant service, meaning many customers receive service from the same underlying infrastructure, but have delegated administration of their tenant.
Azure AD provides the following protocol support:
- OAuth 2.0
- Open ID Connect 1.0
- SAML
- WS-Federation 1.2
