I’ve authored numerous posts on using the Microsoft Authentication Libraries to connect to Microsoft Graph using PowerShell and Python. They cover using both public and confidential client methods. But what about a method that can be either? In this post I show how to use the Authorization Code with PKCE Flow and PowerShell to authenticate and authorize against Azure Active Directory for Microsoft Graph access.… keep reading
Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) is a mechanism often used with an OAuth2 Authorization Code Grant flow to provide an enhanced level of security when authenticating to an Identity Provider such as Microsoft Graph to get an access token. In order to use PKCE a code_verifier is generated along with a code_challenge.… keep reading
Registering Microsoft Graph applications using the Azure Portal and assigning API Permissions is trivial. When you are automating that process though rather than choosing API permissions using the Azure Portal Application Registration UI, you need to know the Microsoft Graph Permission Scope IDs.… keep reading

I’ve written many posts on using the Microsoft authentication libraries with PowerShell and Python for Azure Active Directory / Microsoft Graph integration.… keep reading
Earlier this year I wrote this post on Microsoft Graph using MSAL with Python and Delegated Permissions. That post used the Device Code flow which was valid for the particular scenario I had at that time. This post whilst also using delegated permissions and MSAL with Python uses Interactive Flow.… keep reading
