Examice · Accepted Answer

For a single-page web application that needs to authenticate using OAuth without additional verification and retrieve information from a model-driven app using the Web API, the appropriate method is the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). MSAL is the successor to ADAL, which has been decommissioned as of June 2023. MSAL provides the necessary functionalities to authenticate users using OAuth and obtain tokens from Azure Active Directory for accessing protected resources.

Anonymous · Answer

Both ADAL and MSAL are libraries provided by Microsoft for enabling OAuth authentication in applications. ADAL (Azure Active Directory Authentication Libraries) and MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) are used for implementing OAuth authentication flows with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). They provide capabilities for securely obtaining tokens from Azure AD to authenticate users and enable access to protected resources like the Web API provided by the model-driven app.

Correct Options:
Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL):
MSAL is the recommended library for modern authentication in web applications, supporting OAuth2 and the Microsoft identity platform. It will handle authentication using Azure AD and OAuth, meeting the requirement for "OAuth without additional verification."

Microsoft Azure Active Directory Authentication Libraries (ADAL):
ADAL is the previous authentication library, but it still supports OAuth authentication for web applications. However, MSAL is the preferred solution now, as ADAL is being deprecated in favor of MSAL.
