This repo includes examples of four different approaches you can use to authenticate with Azure AD from a Python web application. Each sample implements the OAuth 2.0 [Authorization Code Grant](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1) workflow, which is the recommended approach for web applications written in Python.

## Python auth options
36+
37+
The following is a summary of the authentication options that the code samples in this repo demonstrate.
38+
39+
### Microsoft ADAL (sample_adal.py)
40+
41+
The [sample_adal.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_adal.py) sample shows how to use the [Microsoft Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for Python](https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-python) for authentication to Microsoft Graph. ADAL supports a variety of token acquisition methods and can be used for other Azure AD authentication scenarios in addition to working with Microsoft Graph. ADAL does not provide support for [Microsoft Accounts](https://account.microsoft.com/account/Account) or [incremental consent](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-v2-compare#incremental-and-dynamic-consent). If you need those capabilities, one of the other options might be a better fit.
42+
43+
In addition to [sample_adal.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_adal.py), which uses the Flask web framework, a [sample_adal_bottle.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_adal_bottle.py) version is provided, which uses the Bottle web framework.
44+
45+
### Flask-OAuthlib (sample_flask.py)
46+
47+
If you're building a [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/)-based web application, the [Flask-OAuthlib](https://flask-oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) provides a simple way to authenticate with Azure AD for Microsoft Graph. The [sample_flask.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_flask.py) sample shows how to use Flask-OAuthlib to authenticate to Microsoft Graph.
48+
49+
### Request-OAuthlib (sample_requests.py)
50+
51+
If you're using [Requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/), the most popular HTTP library for Python developers, [Requests-OAuthlib](https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib) is a good option for Microsoft Graph authentication. The [sample_requests.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_requests.py) sample shows how to use Requests-OAuthlib to authenticate to Microsoft Graph from a Bottle web app.
52+
53+
### graphrest module (sample_graphrest.py)
54+
55+
If you're interested in developing your own authentication module, or are curious about the details of implementing OAuth 2.0 authentication for a web application, the [sample_graphrest.py](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/sample_graphrest.py) sample provides an example of authenticating with [graphrest](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-auth/blob/master/graphrest.py), a custom auth library written in Python. Note that this sample uses the [Bottle](https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/) web framework, although it is relatively easy to port it to Flask or any other web framework that supports redirects and provides access to request query parameters.
