This lab provides the links to create an Azure AD B2C directory, a sample application and connect that application to the directory for authentication. There are several choices for the application so you can choose the one that makes the most sense to you.

• Create an Azure AD B2C directory Below is a link to tutorial on how to create an Azure AD B2C directory from the azure documentation site:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/active-directory-b2c-get-started

  • Note: Don’t skip Step 4 about how to link the Azure AD B2C tenant or you won’t be able to see all the settings.
  • Once you have the directory, tenant and linking done, you can now choose a tutorial to create an application to use that directory.
  • Don’t worry - all tutorials use samples from github – so you won’t have to type all the application code.
