React and msal with Windows Server AD

Is it possible to use msal (or adal?) with React and Windows Server Active Directory (on prem - not azure)?

If not the way to authenticate would be a custom login form and JWT token exchange correct? But is this safe? Isnt it a security breach to send the credentials of the custom loginform directly to the api?

You can implement MSAL in Reactjs. Windows server AD supports custom authentication. This documentation provides you instructions for implementing a custom authentication method in Window server 2012.

Your control flow for the solution should follow the Credential provider:

First check whether the user is connected to the network. If yes, then communicate with AD server, which is predefined & validates user against AD entry. If user is validated then ask for 2nd factor auth in credential provider only & then on successful validation, pass user to sub-auth module & bypass 2nd factor in sub-auth. If user is not connected to network, then validate with sub-auth module.

If you want the JWT token exchange it is also possible as Window server supports Custom authentication.
