I want to implement Single signOn on my web application using SAML where Azure Ad will be the Identity Provider. i need to know What is entityId, appId and and how to create metadata.xml.
The details you seek are available in this site https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/azure-ad-federation-metadata
All the details present in FederationMetadata.xml file depends on what is configured on Azure AD.
As a Web application developer, you don't need to create this XML file. It should be provided by the person who is managing Azure AD. If you are the person managing Azure AD also, then you can download it from there.

I was wondering if there is a way to Link a Broker realm user to the provider through the keycloak library in spring boot.
Situation:
When we log in with a user through the realm provider, keycloak identifies their existence in the broker (or creates them) and then an email is sent to the accounts link.
But the way I use keycloak, I have a service responsible for creating these to customize them for the application. In other words, when a user is created through this SpringBoot service, the idea is to check the existence of the realm provider and link the user created in the broker there.
Question:
Is it possible to link the broker's account with an existing one in the provider programmatically?
Additional:
it is possible to add the link directly through the admin console, so there must be a way to do it programmatically.

I tried using the setSocialLinks method or the setFederatedIdentities method but it doesn't seem to work.
FederatedIdentityRepresentation federatedIdentity = new FederatedIdentityRepresentation();
federatedIdentity.setIdentityProvider(super.getProviderRealmName());
federatedIdentity.setUserId(providerUserId);
federatedIdentity.setUserName(user.getUsername());
user.setFederatedIdentities(Collections.singletonList(federatedIdentity));
Response brokerResult = brokerUserResource.create(user);
Well, there's an option to do it automatically already on the Authentication flow configuration
I am trying to connect to Azure KeyVault from my locally running Spring Boot Application. I can't keep those secrets to be saved in keyvault in different properties or yaml during dev, because my application will generate and delete so many secrets and tokens to be saved in keyvault in the run time.
I am aware of the process in which we can create an Azure service principal from your application registration. And use
azure.keyvault.client-id
azure.keyvault.client-key
in application.properties to connect.
But it may not be allowed to be created Azure service principal in our case. So is there any way to connect to key vault using MSI from locally running SpringBoot application.
using MSI_ENDPOINT
and MSI_SECRET
So is there any way to connect to key vault using MSI from locally running SpringBoot application.

I don't think you can use MSI_ENDPOINT and MSI_SECRET get the token in local, it just works when the web app published in the cloud.
But it may not be allowed to be created Azure service principal in our case.
As you know, you can use the service principal client id and secret(key) to access the keyvault. Actually, when enabling the MSI of the web app, it will create a service principal in your Azure AD tenant automatically. So you can just use the client id and secret of it.
Navigate to the portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Enterprise applications -> search for your web app name(select the Application Type with All Applications), then you get the client id(application id).
Note: Remember to check the object id of the service principal with that in your web app -> Identity, make sure you use the correct one.
For the service principal secret, you could create it via powershell like below(your account need the admin role Application administrator or Global administrator in your AAD tenant).
New-AzureADServicePrincipalPasswordCredential -ObjectId <service principal object id>
Then you will be able to access the keyvault with the client id and secret. For details in java, you can refer to this link.
You can't get it using those variables because locally there is no Azure AD Identity Registered on your local machine and as such Microsoft didn't build any MSI emulator so no variables will be set.
I can recommend what Microsoft did in their .NET library
Run Azure CLI and log in
In code check for variables and if they don't exist then run CLI command
az account get-access-token --resource 'https://vault.azure.net'
In CLI simply log into either principal or your account. Make sure to add this account/your account to KeyVault policy.
I know it's weird but I you can even check it HERE on their GitHub.
I might have an article that will help you in case you want more details

I need to import user information from Azure AD and allow those users to sign into my application using their azure AD credentials.
Currently I am using Azure Graph API. I will be adding an application in the azure portal manually, will be getting the clientid, tenantid and secretkey from azure portal. In my application I am expecting the user to provide these three fields and using this I am calling the graph-api to get user-details.
My question is is it a right idea to expect the customer to add the application in their azure portal manually?
If not how can I import the data using java?
Accroding to the Authentication with Azure AD part of the Featuressection in the link, you need to use the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow or the authorization code grant flow to acquire a token to call the Graph. And the two ways both need client_id, please refer to the link.
But you can see the Configuring multi-tenant applications section from the link to know how to let your application cross organizations.
Then using Azure Graph API in Java to create users for different tenants.
I have created a simple application in Java which Connects to my Office 365 Account and retrieve the unread messages. I am performing some text matching and pattern matching to generate some reports which I receive via Email.
I am using the below url with basic Authentication to do so.
https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=IsRead%20eq%20false
However, I have read a couple of articles and most of them have suggested that Basic Authentication will not be supported and suggested to use OAUTH2.0.
I am not sure how to use OAUTH2.0. A couple of articles mention about registering the Application with AAD for which i need to have access to Azure Management Portal which i do not have. Please can any one guide me how this can be done.
PS: I am using my Corporate Domain Account to access Office
You are correct that Basic will not continue to be supported. You do not need the Azure management portal to register an application, you can use the App Dev portal (apps.dev.microsoft.com) to get a client ID and secret.
Here's a walkthrough for creating a Java web app from scratch: https://dev.outlook.com/restapi/tutorial/java. It shows how to register the app and do the authentication.
I have an application deployed on Google App Engine (GAE) for Java. I'm using Google Identity Toolkit for authentication (and not the standard Google Account based authentication provided by GAE). The front-end is GWT based.
I have some static content (image files) that is located in war/static/images folder. I want to restrict access to these files only to a subset of signed in users i.e. add authorization around these files. GAE provides security-constraits but that doesn't work for me as I'm not using Google Accounts, and even then, it doesn't provide full authorization based on my requirements.
What's the best way to add authorization around these static assets?
Google Appengine stores static files in another servers and not in the same application server as your app resides.
So you can't add any authorization check on it, you can use Google Cloud Storage and set acl's but again thats going to work only for google users , you cannot have your own authorization there as well.
So the answer is, you have to change statics files as resource files, and add routes to thoses files instead of direct access, then in your endpoints or controller you can add custom authorization based on session or access token or any other identity options, once the user authorized to access those files, you can serve those files as response.
