This also means that daemon applications won't support incremental consent.įor developers, the end-to-end experience for this scenario has the following aspects:
The code of the application just requests statically defined permissions. All the required API permissions need to be configured at application registration. This token is then used to call the web API (and is refreshed as needed).īecause users can't interact with daemon applications, incremental consent isn't possible. After successful authentication, the daemon receives an access token (and a refresh token) from the Microsoft identity platform. This type of application requests an access token by using its application identity and presenting its application ID, credential (password or certificate), and application ID URI to Azure AD.
A daemon application requires its own identity. Users can't interact with a daemon application. This secret is passed in during the call to Azure AD to get a token. Have registered a secret (application password or certificate) with Azure AD.They need to be approved by the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant admins. These apps, given that they access resources independently of users, need to prove their identity. An IoT device that accesses a web service on behalf of a device, but not on behalf of a user.Īpplications that acquire a token for their own identities:.A mobile application that accesses a web service on behalf of an application, but not on behalf of a user.The daemon application scenario doesn't replace device authentication. Only a limited set of IT administrators can access devices that have daemon applications running, so a bad actor can't access a client secret or token from device traffic and act on behalf of the daemon application. You can't deploy a daemon application to a regular user's device, and a regular user can't access a daemon application.
