Azure AD / Python AA

I have a quite simple usecase. From my product I have to implement some kind of authentication / authorization backend for my custom application. The application itself supports LDAP as AA backend (w/o kerberos), but I'm not sure if Azure AD can be used this way externally. Is this possible?

If not, I'm going to implement some authentication / authorization using standard python libraries. I've already found a lots of resources on this, however the whole picture still quite foggy. Basically I need two functions, authenticate the user (by evaluating the username/password received by the python script), and also check some kind of group membership for authorization as I would do in LDAP.

I don't want to invent the hot water, so, if there is any snippet for this, it would be great

Thank you L:

If you want to use Azure AD for that, you would want to work against Azure Graph API

High level steps:

  1. Create Azure AD Application
  2. Figure out token auth
  3. And using the REST API link figure the API calls to find appropriate permissions (probably adal can do that, not sure)
