- App registrations in Azure are identities for applications, allowing for delegated permissions to app identities.
- Creating an App Registration in Azure means trusting Microsoft Identity to manage app authentication.
- The process generates a service principal for use with other Azure services, providing a client ID, object ID, tenant ID, and the option for a client secret or public key.
- Service principals come in three types: Application, Managed Identity, and Legacy, each serving different purposes.
- In the business logic, a private key or client secret can be used to enable application authentication as a service principal to access resources on the resource server.
- The implicit flow process involves end users wanting to access data on a resource server, with the resource server redirecting to the authz server for authentication.
- Managed Identity is a special type of service principal tied to a resource, while Legacy service principals represent older apps.
