I have an ASP.NET web application which has multitenancy supported in it . I have a requirement to integrate microsoft graph to access and write to outlook calendars.My question is , will every Tenant have its own application id and secret key ? Or will one secret key and application Id be common to all tenants ? Please provide me details of what needs to be changed as this is somehow misleading and vague.
Thanks in advance.
This is discussed in the docs under Step 4 of Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform:
Supported account types - Select which accounts you would like your application to support.
Accounts in this organizational directory only - Select this option if you're building a line-of-business (LOB) application. This option is not available if you're not registering the application in a directory.
This option maps to Azure AD only single-tenant.
This is the default option unless you're registering the app outside of a directory. In cases where the app is registered outside of a directory, the default is Azure AD multi-tenant and personal Microsoft accounts.
Accounts in any organizational directory - Select this option if you would like to target all business and educational customers.
This option maps to an Azure AD only multi-tenant.
If you registered the app as Azure AD only single-tenant, you can update it to be Azure AD multi-tenant and back to single-tenant through the Authentication blade.
Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts - Select this option to target the widest set of customers.
This option maps to Azure AD multi-tenant and personal Microsoft accounts.
If you registered the app as Azure AD multi-tenant and personal Microsoft accounts, you cannot change this in the UI. Instead, you must use the application manifest editor to change the supported account types.

We are using the ADFS activity report to migrate our applications to AAD. Everything shows as Ready and when we click on the Ready link, the text says "We've detected on-premises settings for this relying party that can be migrated to a new Azure AD enterprise application. We'll map the fields and create the new application, but users won't be redirected to it until you say so." By the last statement, it seems like the application is automatically created now. Is that the case? If so, how long does it take to create the application and does it keep the same name as in ADFS?
• The message that you encountered “We've detected on-premises settings for this relying party that can be migrated to a new Azure AD enterprise application. We'll map the fields and create the new application, but users won't be redirected to it until you say so.” Means that the application is a SaaS application available in Enterprise application gallery in Azure AD. This does not in anyway mean that the application has been created automatically, it just means that the application is ready to be migrated to Azure AD and is fully available as a SaaS application in Azure AD gallery and doesn’t need any further relying party configuration migration from the on-premises ADFS server.
• Since the message is displayed only for SaaS apps readily available in Azure AD gallery and are equally configured as a relying party trust in ADFS, its configuration information is readily migrated through the ADFS Connect health application to Azure AD and it can be configured in the cloud itself with admin account access needed for the SaaS application’s account for SSO and SAML authentication configuration required through Azure AD.
You can find the image below for your reference, it shows the ‘Dropbox’ application as ready for migration from ADFS to Azure AD: -
Through the above option enabled, you can easily configure your application’s SSO configuration in Azure AD. If all the configurations are up and running, it will happen instantaneously within a few minutes of time.
Kindly refer to this link for more information on migrating federated apps from ADFS to Azure AD: -

I think the report is still in preview and it is missing a create application button.
All the documentation only shows the reports & not the create process.
Also this migration tool, is a repackage of the powershell test commands:
https://github.com/AzureAD/Deployment-Plans/tree/master/ADFS%20to%20AzureAD%20App%20Migration
So I assume you need to create the application manually based on the report.
My customer is in process of migrating some of the their uses from the current tenant(tenant A) to new tenant(tenant B) and wants to know if the users from the tenant B can connect to the same SaaS-based apps & instances in tenant A using their tenant B environment credentials during and after the tenant migration.
Yes Multitenant can use their SAAS based app and Instances with any of their tenant credentials.
Software as a Service (SaaS) application - You can configure your application to accept sign-ins from any Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. This configuration is called making your application multi-tenant. Users in any Azure AD tenant will be able to sign in to your application after consenting to use their account with your application.
Multi-tenant applications need to be provisioned in each directory where they will be used, which requires user or administrator consent to register them.
This consent process starts when an application has been registered in the directory and is given access to the Graph API or perhaps another web API. When a user or administrator from a different organization signs up to use the application, they are presented with a dialog that displays the permissions the application requires. The user or administrator can then consent to the application, which gives the application access to the stated data, and finally registers the application in their directory

I am following a tutorial Build Java apps with Microsoft Graph
and after using my personal account for Azure AD to register the application. I am not able to sign in using my personal account but I set the support account as 'Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts. Any help?

You need to change the /tenant id endpoint to the /common endpoint.
The /tenant id endpoint only allows users with work/school accounts
of a specific Azure AD tenant to log in to the application. It does
not support personal accounts.
Only the /common endpoints will allow personal Microsoft accounts to
log in to the application.
I want to build an Central Authentication Service on my website help users can access all my organization's service: Email and Drive using Google Suite for Education, Office 365, LMS and LCMS system... Student sign in one-time can access all service (eg. Email from Google).
Is it possible?
What you need to do is configure one identity provider (say Azure Active Directory) as the master and then configure the other (Google) as the subordinate. I don't know if Google supports that or not, but Azure AD does. Information on that is here: Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with Google Cloud (G Suite) Connector.
Okta is another product that solves this type of problem, but that adds more complexity.
I am fairly new to Active directory and trying to understand it especially from application roles perspective.
I understand the use of Active Directory for authenticating internal corporate users and to implementing SSO across different applications.
What I am trying to gather are scenarios where Active directory can be used for application security ? Is it limited to creating domain users for application to use when interacting with other applications or are there other scenarios where it can be used ?
Example, in below diagram AD DS server has been added to the application landscape for 'computer objects for the failover cluster and its associated clustered roles are created in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)'. What does it really mean ?
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) provides secure and seamless access to cloud and on-premises applications. Users can sign in once to access Office 365 and other business applications from Microsoft, thousands of software as a service (SaaS) applications, on-premises applications, and line of business (LOB) apps. Besides, enabling single sign-on (SSO) across applications and Office 365 provides a superior sign in experience for existing users by reducing or eliminating sign in prompts. For the details, you could read here.
And Azure AD Domain Services provides managed domain services. You can consume these domain services without the need for you to deploy, manage, and patch domain controllers in the cloud. Azure AD Domain Services integrates with your existing Azure AD tenant, thus making it possible for users to log in using their corporate credentials.
For the details about Azure AD Domain Services, please read this doc.
