Build advanced authentication solutions for any cloud or web
environment
Active Directory has been transformed to reflect the cloud revolution,
modern protocols, and today's newest SaaS paradigms. This is an
authoritative, deep-dive guide to building Active Directory
authentication solutions for these new environments. Author Vittorio
Bertocci drove these technologies from initial concept to general
availability, playing key roles in everything from technical design to
documentation. In this book, he delivers comprehensive guidance for
building complete solutions. For each app type, Bertocci presents
high-level scenarios and quick implementation steps, illuminates key
concepts in greater depth, and helps you refine your solution to improve
performance and reliability. He helps you make sense of highly abstract
architectural diagrams and nitty-gritty protocol and implementation
details. This is the book for people motivated to become experts.
