Conditional access
is an Azure AD capability that lets you automate access controls based on certain user conditions. Conditional access policies are enforced after the first-factor authentication has been completed. It's not intended as a first-line defense for scenarios like denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, but it uses signals from these events to determine access.
Yes. Azure AD supports several standardized protocols for authentication and authorization, including SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and WS-Federation. It also supports password vaulting and automated sign-in capabilities for apps that support only forms-based authentication. Learn more about authentication scenarios and protocols, and
