Call summary
This month’s in-depth topic: Deep dive on using MSAL Node to integrate Electron desktop applications with Azure AD. In this session, we will walk through the steps required to integrate a cross-platform Electron desktop application with the Microsoft identity platform. We’ll start with discussing how to enable single sign-on (SSO) for users. We will then proceed to get an access token for the Microsoft Graph API. We will cover the coding required in detail, including how to use the system browser for authentication, how to subscribe to MSAL events like user sign-in and sign-out, and how to cache tokens on disk for performance. We will cap the session by responding to your questions about using MSAL Node for desktop apps. Microsoft Presenters are Emily Lauber, Doğan Erişen and Salman Salem. This call was hosted by Nandeesh Swami (Microsoft) | @Nandeesh_Swami on October 20, 2022. Questions addressed live and in chat throughout the call.
