You can specify the lifetime of an access token, ID token, or SAML token issued
by the
Microsoft Entra ID.
You can set token lifetimes for all apps in your tenant, or for
service principals. You cannot set token lifetime policies for refresh tokens and session tokens. In this demo we
changed the default lifetime (one hour) to two hours.
First create
a
token lifetime policy.
The following Microsoft Graph creates a policy with two hours lifetime. Important, set the
isOrganizationDefault to false, so
your policy will not change the default settings of your tenant.
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/policies/tokenLifetimePolicies
Finally,
assign token lifetime policy to your application. If you have more applications, repeat this step.
Replace the {app-id} with your application ID (not object ID). And replace the {policy-id}
with the token lifetime policy ID from the previous step.
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications(appId='{app-id}')/tokenLifetimePolicies/$ref

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.
For tests only! You can specify the lifetime of an access token, ID token, or SAML token
issued by the Microsoft
Entra ID. You can set token lifetimes for all apps in your tenant, or for service principals. You

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
