Will Entra ID generate session tokens when user logsin through web app

Likitha Bommasani 20

Is it possible to integrate Entra ID for automatic user registration when a user signs up on my application’s registration page? Specifically, I’d like the user to be added to Entra ID at the time of registration so that Entra ID can handle authentication in future logins. Additionally, upon successful authentication during subsequent logins, Entra ID should generate a session token for the user. Is this functionality supported, and what are the recommended steps to implement it?

Hello @Likitha Bommasani ,

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A.

By default, integrating Entra ID for automatic user registration during an application's sign-up process is not possible, as Entra ID primarily handles secure authentication, not sign-up flows. It is designed specifically for authentication and authorization, verifying user identities and issuing tokens to allow secure access to applications. Its main purpose is to ensure that only authorized users, who are already present in Entra ID, can access your application. To onboard a new user, you must first create the user in Entra ID only then will they be able to access your application.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Hello @Goutam Pratti ,

Thank You for your answer.

If Entra ID doesn’t support automatic user registration during sign-up, which Azure service would best handle both user registration and authentication for my application? In AWS, Cognito handles this process by automatically adding new users to a user pool during sign-up and managing authentication for subsequent logins. I’m looking for a similar solution in Azure where new users can sign up through my app’s registration page and be automatically added to a user directory, with authentication handled seamlessly by Azure for future logins. What are the recommended steps to implement this functionality?
