What you'll learn

Headless processes commonly referred to as daemons or services have no opportunity to present an authentication user interface. Yet they must be able to access Azure AD protected resources. In this course, Developing Daemons and Services Protected by Azure Active Directory, you’ll learn to securely call Azure AD protected APIs from headless processes. First, you’ll explore the flows available to headless applications and the basics of service principals. Next, you’ll discover how to perform client credential flow with both REST or APIs on .NET, NodeJS and Python. Finally, you’ll learn how to master managed identities when working in Azure. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of the various facilities Azure AD offers needed to author headless applications that need to call secure APIs in Azure.
