Tutorial: Enable your JavaScript application to sign-in users and call APIs with Microsoft Entra External ID

This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of modern authentication with Microsoft Entra External ID, using the Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript.

Prerequisites

Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific prerequisites.

The following tables are a summary of code samples alongside links to tutorials on how to integrate various app types with Microsoft Entra External ID:

  • The Explore and run code sample guide uses a sample app to show you how to add identity and access management (IAM) capabilities to your applications using Microsoft Entra External ID for customers.

  • The Build and integrate tutorial offers detailed guidance on how to build an app from the ground up, walking you through the packages and code needed to add IAM support to both new or existing applications.

Chapter 2: Protect an API and call the API from your client app

The following table summarizes resources with guidance on how to protect your web API with the Microsoft Entra External ID. You then use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your app to call the protected web API.

This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of modern authentication with Microsoft Entra External ID, using the Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript.
Prerequisites
Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific prerequisites.
The following tables are a summary of code samples alongside links to tutorials on how to integrate various app types with Microsoft Entra External ID:
  • The Explore and run code sample guide uses a sample app to show you how to add identity and access management (IAM) capabilities to your applications using Microsoft Entra External ID for customers.
  • The Build and integrate tutorial offers detailed guidance on how to build an app from the ground up, walking you through the packages and code needed to add IAM support to both new or existing applications.

Chapter 2: Protect an API and call the API from your client app
The following table summarizes resources with guidance on how to protect your web API with the Microsoft Entra External ID. You then use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your app to call the protected web API.
