Using Azure Active Directory to access other services

I have azure active directory authentication in my Web API and I want to connect to other services as Dynamics NAV and Sharepoint using azure ad credentials.

The code to access Sharepoint is the following:

ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
clientContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(Email, Password);

And the code to access the Dynamics NAV is the following:

NAV.NAV nav = new NAV.NAV(URL);
nav.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Email, Password, Domain);

The problem is that I have to enter manually user credentials to access the Sharepoint and NAV services. Is there any way to do this dynamically? Using entered azure ad credentials.

AFAIK, the Dynamics NAV supports OAuth authentication with Azure Active Directory. In this scenario, you can use the on-behalf-of flow which requires users enter the username/password to get the access token to access the web API. Then the web API can exchange the access token for Dynamics NAV and call the Dynamics NAV. Here is a figure to demonstrate this scenario(refer here): enter image description here

And for the SharePoint, you can use Microsoft Graph. More detail about oauth for the Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Graph, you can refer the link below:

And for the code sample for the on-behalf-of flow, you can refer the code sample below:
