Microsoft Identity Platform community call -- May 2021

Call summary

This month’s in-depth topic:  Using Conditional Access Auth Context in your app for step-up authentication.   Use the Azure AD Conditional access engine’s new Auth Context feature to trigger a demand for step-up authentication from within your application and services. Developers have often wondered if they were to only, selectively demand enhanced stronger authentication like MFA from their end users from within their applications.  This capability helps developers build low friction user experiences for some parts of their application, while keeping access to more secure operations and data behind stronger authentication controls.   Learn how to enable these scenarios in this session.  Microsoft Program Manager presenters – Caleb Baker and Kalyan Krishna.  This session was delivered and recorded on May 20, 2021.  Live and in chat Q&A throughout call.
