Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.
I understand that you are asking if Azure API Manager can be used for authenticating users through basic authentication (username and password), Azure Active Directory (AAD), and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
Yes, Azure API Management can be used for authenticating users through basic authentication (username and password), Azure Active Directory (AAD), and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
- Basic authentication: This is a simple username and password authentication mechanism that is supported by most web browsers and HTTP clients.
- Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication: This is a cloud-based identity and access management service that provides a single sign-on experience for users. It supports various authentication flows, including OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, enabling secure access to APIs.
- Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) authentication: ADFS allows for federated identity management, enabling users to authenticate using their on-premises Active Directory credentials. This is particularly useful for organizations that have a hybrid identity setup.
