Microsoft – What’s new in Azure Active Directory B2C

Over the past few weeks, we have introduced new features in Azure AD B2C, a cloud identity service for app developers. Azure AD B2C handles all your app’s identity management needs, including sign-up, sign-in, profile management and password reset. In this post, you’ll read about these features:

• Single-page app (SPA) support
• Usage reporting APIs
• Friction-free consumer sign-up

Single-page app (SPA) support A single-page app (SPA) is a web app that loads a single HTML page and dynamically updates the page as the consumer interacts with the app. It is written primarily in JavaScript, typically using a framework like AngularJS or Ember.js. Gmail and Outlook are two popular consumer-facing SPAs.

Since JavaScript code runs in a consumer’s browser, a SPA has different requirements for securing the frontend and calls to backend web APIs, compared to a traditional web app. To support this scenario, Azure AD B2C added the OAuth 2.0 implicit grant flow.
