3. Create a Woodgrove account

Before you start filling out the sign-up form. Notice that the county is preselected (Spain) and also a promo code was auto generated for you. This is done by using the custom authentication extension feature.
Enter a password, re-enter the password, and enter a display name.
For the city enter an incorrect one. For example, Berlin. You will see soon how this is handled.

4. Start using the Woodgrove app

After you successfully sign-in, your name appears in the header.

OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow

The on-behalf-of (OBO) flow describes the scenario of a web API using an identity other than its own to call another downstream web API. For the middle-tier web API to make authenticated requests to the downstream web API it needs a different audience and another set of scopes (permissions). For more information, Microsoft identity platform and OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow

This demo shows how the Account web API makes authenticated requests to a downstream Payment web API. To call the Payment web API, the Account web API acquires an access token for the Payment web API (audience or aud claim) and another set of scopes (permissions) that require by the Payment web API.

Select the start the use case button at the bottom of this page.
Sign-up or sign-in with your email, or a social account.
After you sign-in you will be redirected to the token page. You can also select your name from the header.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Single sign-on (SSO) adds security and convenience when users sign-in across multiple applications in Microsoft Entra ID. With single sign-on, users sign-in once with a single account and get access to multiple applications. When the user initially signs-in to an application, Microsoft Entra ID initiates a single sign-on session. Upon subsequent authentication requests, Microsoft Entra ID validates the session, and issues a security token without prompting the user to sign in again.

Follow these steps to check out the SSO feature:

Start by signing-in to this application. You may need use the InPrivate mode in Microsoft Edge.
Select the start the use case button at the bottom of this page.
After you sign-in, come back to this dialog page and follow the instructions.

Input constrained devices (Kiosk)

Input-constrained devices are devices that their screen or monitor is limited to text-only and they don't have a web browser. For example, smart TV, IoT device, robot, gaming console, printers. Or applications with limited user interface, such as a command line application.

These devices are connected to the internet, but due to the input constrains, the authentication should be done on another device. The input constrained device gets a device code from Microsoft Entra External ID and asks the user to visit a webpage in a browser on a second (rich device), such as smartphone, tablets, or PCs.

In this use case, from the Kiosk page select sign-in. Use the second device, such as smartphone and scan the QR code. On the sign-in page enters the device code, and completes the sign-in. Once you signed in, the Kiosk (input-constrained device) is able to get security tokens and authenticate you. Your name should be presented on the top-right corner of the page.
