Can Azure AD "Enterprise Applications" return the service provider's (SP) relay state and if so, how do they?
I have had no problems with clients using ADFS or other Identity Providers.
Azure AD does support relay state. You will see the relay state as a parameter along with the SAMLResponse in the post to the ReplyURL.
If the application is configured as IdP initiated SSO, you can specify the Relay State value in the app configuration on
Azure AD > Enterprise Apps > [Select app] > Single sign-on > Show advanced URL settings > Relay State.

We have a public consumer application for which we use Auth0 as identity platform and through Auth0 we have enabled a couple of social logins to which we now want to add "Login with Microsoft" as an option so that anyone with any type of Microsoft account can login.
Obviously we will need to enable the Microsoft social connection in our Auth0 instance and connect it to a Active Directory Application and Tenant created in Azure.
What I can't seem to find the answer for is which type of tenant we should setup for this, whether we should use a Azure Active Directory tenant with a multi-tenant application or if we should use a Azure Active Directory (B2C) tenant for this?
Thanks for posting your query. As per https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/azure-active-directory/v2#register-your-app-with-azure-ad Azure AD would support for multitenant apps but not with social account (until you plan to send invitation to each user's personal account for Azure AD B2B).
For Microsoft Social accounts Azure B2C would suit your requirement.
On Auth0 Admin Console:
Create a web application in Auth0
Copy the client ID and secret
Add a callback URL from your B2C tenant in given format: https://.b2clogin.com/.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authresp
Copy the “OpenID Configuration” URI from advance setting.
On Azure B2C tenant:
Add an Identity provider to B2C, Azure AD B2C > Identity providers > New OpenID Connect Provider
Input “OpenID Configuration” URI you copied in above step to Metadata URL.
Similarly add client ID and Client secret you copied from Auth0.
Complete the claims mapping ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-in/azure/active-directory-b2c/identity-provider-generic-openid-connect?pivots=b2c-user-flow#claims-mapping
Hit Save and Auth0 will be saved as IDP in your Azure B2C tenant.
Thanks
I've gathered the following insights since posting my question
Summary
Auth0 Social connection -> Azure Active Directory tenant with an app configured to support "Personal Microsoft accounts"
Auth0 Enterprise connection -> Azure Active Directory tenant with an app configured to support "Accounts in any organisational directory and personal Microsoft accounts"
See guide of different app types here
Details
Since we wanted to support login with any microsoft account (multi tenant + personal) my initial attempt of using an Auth0 Social connection for this was incorrect, since the Social connection will only allow successful logins with personal accounts regardless of how you have setup the App registration in Azure
Auth0 Enterprise connection is the way to go for our case, with an Azure app registation supporting multi tenant + personal accounts. Also when setting the connection up in Auth0, make sure to enable the "Use common endpoint" setting as described here
The Azure Active Directory B2C tenant type is not useful with any of the Auth0 connections as you likely won't be able to get a satisfying consent screen with verified publisher. I'm guessing its just the wrong way of using the B2C tenant, where its supposed to be used the other way around with the Azure tenant being the identity platform optionally integrating applications from Auth0 like in the answer from Mavric20
I'm currently trying to implement openvpn server authenticated with keycloak.
This part is actually working well with user added in keycloak but now I want to authenticate my openvpn user with azure AD.
I made the configuration to be able to authenticate user with keycloak and azure AD has identity provider so this part work well but not I want to conbine both
I would like that my user will be authtenticated with azure AD throw keycloak when they execute OpenVPN client.
I have 1 realm. The account clients work properly with Azure AD and I have a Clients for OpenVPN but How to link both
• As per the described query, you want to authenticate with Azure AD through Keycloak while connecting with OpenVPN client. Thus, accordingly, you will have to configure the VPN client for P2S OpenVPN protocol connection in Azure AD first. For that purpose, kindly follow the below documentation link which describes the steps to be followed for registering and configuring ‘Azure VPN’ as an application in Azure AD and further configuring the VPN configuration settings on it as well: -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-wan/virtual-wan-point-to-site-azure-ad
• Once, the above-mentioned steps are done as stated, then you will have to register an application as a client service principal in your Azure AD, create a client secret for it and register the same in keycloak administration console as mentioned in the below link. This will ensure that your keycloak integration with Azure AD is complete and working fine as well as the authentication for your Azure AD users through keycloak is possible over OpenVPN client such as Azure VPN client.
https://blog.hcltechsw.com/versionvault/how-to-configure-microsoft-azure-active-directory-as-keycloak-identity-provider-to-enable-single-sign-on-for-hcl-compass/
The above document states for ‘HCL Compass’ as the target application to be connected via keycloak via Azure AD identity but you can configure the same as per your own SaaS application to be integrated.
I am looking to implement Azure AD B2C into my web application for user authentication.
However, I am unsure of the desired practice when you have a separate frontend from backend.
Frontend: React JS web application running on Node.js
Backend: ASP.NET Core 6 API application
Server: Microsoft SQL Server
I would like to also have users / user information stored in the database upon creation. This is because I need to reference these users in several different relational tables.
What is the best workflow with this?
Azure AD B2C is implemented in frontend. When a user is created, an API request is sent to the backend to create the user in the database. If it is successful, a user cookie is created on the frontend for authentication.
Azure AD B2C is implemented in the backend. When a user is submitted in the frontend, an API request is sent to the backend where the Azure AD B2C service creates a user, stores it in the database, and sends a callback to the frontend signifying the action was either successful / unsuccessful, along with a user cookie for authentication.
other
I am new to authentication cookies, and user sessions, so any documentation provided regarding that would be greatly appreciated.
• I would suggest you use ASP .NET MVC 2 or another version as the front-end client and integrate Azure AD B2C tenant and an app registered in it as described in the document below. Once you have the Azure AD B2C tenant registered and the required application for authentication configured, configure the custom policies and user flow accordingly. Once those are done, then secure that application with Azure AD B2C for login and authentication with guest authentication. Then, ensure that your backend application is integrated with Azure SQL or cosmos DB for storing the details of all the users signed in with the Azure AD B2C. For that purpose, you will have to give Azure AD B2C application registration, the required permissions for that concerned Azure resource for allowing to access the same and retrieve the user details from it. Thus, in this way, you can configure your application accordingly.
Kindly refer to the link below for more information and details on configuring the infrastructure for the same: -

I have an angular-cli (v8) web application where I want users to be able to sign-in using their existing Azure AD account.
I came across the article explaining how to added authentication to an angular 8 application using Azure B2C and started to follow the step outlined in that article. https://about-azure.com/using-azure-ad-b2c-with-angular-8/
Azure AD is not on the list of authentication providers
Is is possible to add Azure AD as an authentication provider?
Technically my application is an Service Fabric application using .net core 3.1. I know that Visual Studio offers and "Add Connect Services" where one can choose Azure AD.
That does not work, because it configures authentication for a MVC application (options use.MVC) and I do not have an MVC application so it doesn't work (I have tried)
Is is possible to add Azure AD as an authentication provider?
Yes, you need to select New OpenID Connect provider and configure Azure AD as an identity provider.
Reference:
Set up sign-in for a specific Azure Active Directory organization in Azure Active Directory B2C
Referred the following stack overflow post Azure B2C client credentials grant
We are presently using Azure B2C.
I understand that Azure B2C does not support the client credential flow for now.
We have a requirement where an external application (server Application outside our organization) needs to access our resource (api hosted within our organization)
Is there any way we can do this from Azure AD-B2C or would we need Azure AD-B2B for these type of requirements. ?
Currently, your specific scenario -- where you are needing an access token to be issued for access by a daemon or server app to your API app -- isn't supported, however you can register the API app through the “App Registrations” blade of the Azure AD directory for your Azure AD B2C tenant.
You can upvote support for the client credentials flow by Azure AD B2C at:
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169401-azure-active-directory/suggestions/18529918-aadb2c-support-oauth-2-0-client-credential-flow
If the API app is to receive tokens from both a web/native app as well as the daemon/server app, then you will have to configure the API app to validate tokens from two token issuers: one being Azure AD B2C and other being the Azure AD directory for your Azure AD B2C tenant.
You should not do this anyway.
Instead, provide a portal for your customers where they can manage api keys.
