What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of setting up Microsoft Entra ID app registrations so applications can authenticate users and obtain access tokens reliably for Microsoft APIs (like Microsoft Graph).
Core Features & Use Cases
- App Registration Setup: Configure app type, redirect URIs, tenant settings, and core identifiers needed for authentication.
- OAuth 2.0 Flow Implementation Guidance: Choose the right authorization approach (authorization code, PKCE, client credentials, device code) and wire it into application logic using MSAL patterns.
- API Permissions & Consent: Add delegated/application permissions, understand scopes/roles, and handle admin consent and token verification checks.
Use case examples: register a console app that signs in with user context and calls Microsoft Graph; set up a service-to-service integration with client credentials; troubleshoot redirect URI mismatches and consent-required token errors.
Quick Start
Ask: "Walk me through registering an Entra app for a console application, adding Microsoft Graph User.Read permission, granting consent, and acquiring a token with MSAL."
