Microsoft Learning: Secure custom APIs with Microsoft identity

Learn how to secure a web API with Microsoft identity and how to call it from another application.

I work with Microsoft Learning to publish & maintain multiple self-paced learning modules related to Microsoft 365. These modules are primarily used as self-paced study resources for developers preparing to take the MS-600 exam , the only prerequisite to achieve the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Application Developer Associate certification. This is one of those modules.

Many solutions involve creating web APIs to expose functionality to different clients and consumers. Developers can secure these APIs using Microsoft identity to ensure only approved apps can access the web APIs provided they’ve been granted the necessary permissions.

In this module, you’ll learn how to secure a web API with Microsoft identity and how to call it from another application.

Learning objectives

  1. Create a custom web API that is secured with Microsoft identity
  2. Create a custom web app that calls a custom web API secured with Microsoft identity
  3. Create a custom daemon app that calls a custom web API secured with Microsoft identity
