This Identity library is an authentication/authorization library that:
- Suitable for apps that are targeting end users on Microsoft identity platform (which includes Work or school accounts provisioned through Azure AD, and Personal Microsoft accounts such as Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com).
- Currently designed for web apps, regardless of which Python web framework you are using.
- Provides a set of high level API that is built on top of, and easier to be used than Microsoft's MSAL Python library.
- Written in Python, for Python apps.
DISCLAIMER: The code in this repo is not officially supported by Microsoft and is not intended for production use. The intention of this repo is to unblock customers who would like to use a higher level API, before such an API has been migrated to an Microsoft library with official support. Migration of this API to official support is not guaranteed and is not currently on the MSAL roadmap. Please ensure to fully test any code used from this repository to ensure it works in your environment.
