Study Notes

Application Object in Microsoft Entra ID

  • An application object is a representation of an application in Microsoft Entra ID.
  • It resides in the Microsoft Entra ID directory.

Service Principal Object

  • A service principal object is used for authentication and authorization.
  • It is similar to an instance of a class in object-oriented programming.

Registering an Application

  • Registering an application with Microsoft Entra ID creates a service principal object.
  • This service principal object is used for authentication and authorization.
  • You can add secrets or certificates for your app in the Azure portal.
  • The app or client ID is used to identify the application.

Relationship between Application Objects and Service Principals

  • An application object serves as a template from which common and default properties are derived for creating corresponding service principal objects.
  • The application object describes the properties and behavior of an application.
  • A service principal object is created for an application to access resources secured by a Microsoft Entra tenant.

Purpose of Service Principals

  • The purpose of a service principal is to define the access policy and permissions for a user/application in a Microsoft Entra tenant.
  • It enables core features such as authentication during sign-in and authorization during resource access.

Types of Service Principals

  • A managed identity service principal represents a managed identity in Azure.
  • A legacy service principal can have a password, but a managed identity service principal cannot.
  • A service principal is created when a managed identity is enabled.
  • Permissions define what an app can actually do in a specific tenant.
  • Permissions are often referred to as permission sets or scopes.
  • An app can request permissions through the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
  • The resource identifier for a web-hosted resource integrating with the Microsoft identity platform is represented by a URI.
  • There are two types of permissions supported by the Microsoft identity platform: delegated and application permissions.
  • High-privilege permissions can be granted through administrator consent.
  • There are three consent types in the Microsoft identity platform: static, dynamic, and admin consent.
  • An app can ignore static permissions defined in the app registration information in the Azure portal by requesting permissions dynamically.
  • An app needs admin consent when it requires high-privilege permissions.

Conditional Access

  • Conditional Access policies can be applied to users and devices.
  • An enterprise customer can apply and remove Conditional Access policies at any time.
  • An app requires code changes to handle Conditional Access challenges when it needs to access a resource secured by a Conditional Access policy.
  • Conditional Access enables developers and enterprise customers to apply specific policies to access resources.
  • In most common cases, Conditional Access does not impact an app's behavior.
