Maybe you are new to verifiable credentials, or maybe you’ve been on the decentralised identity journey with us for many years. Either way if you’ve participated in the previews of Azure Active Directory Verifiable Credentials and more recently with Entra Verified ID you’ll know there are numerous steps to successfully creating, issuing and presenting a verifiable credential.… keep reading
Recently I had a request to integrate Azure AD for SSO into SailPoint IdentityNow. And as weird as it sounds previously integrations had been either with Active Directory or other IDentity-as-a-Service Providers (IDaaS).
It shouldn’t be too hard. I had visited the Service Provider IdentityNow Administration configuration screen before.… keep reading
Previously I have written a number of posts on interacting with Azure AD using the Microsoft Authentication Libraries (MSAL) and Python. This page here lists those posts along with a series using PowerShell. The Python related posts also detail decoding Azure AD access tokens with Python to determine when the access token will expire.… keep reading
Passwordless, are we there yet? Even though Passwordless means different things to different people, in my interpretation of user initiated password obsolescence I’ve minimised typing passwords as much as possible. In this post I’ll detail how.

Recently I wrote the Microsoft Graph using MSAL with Python post and mentioned that I would be writing up Python versions of similar MSAL posts I have written using PowerShell. Specifically, MSAL using certificate-based authentication and the topic for this post MSAL with Python and Delegated Permissions.… keep reading
Collaboration between Azure Active Directory tenants typically involves Azure AD Guest accounts. After a few years, the proliferation of ‘Guest’ accounts usually becomes a focus, especially for larger tenants. As Azure AD has matured the meta data associated with accounts, along with Microsoft Graph improvements is making it easier to define and locate stale Azure AD B2B Guest Accounts.… keep reading
