ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider with Azure Active Directory

Question

我意识到还有其他（首选）方法可与Azure Active Directory实施身份验证，但是可以将标准ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider与Azure Active Directory一起用于Azure网站吗？

Answer 1

No. There is no way to use ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider with Azure Active Directory. . (Period) :)

Why?

ActiveDirectoryMambershipProvider uses Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) server and talks to AD over LDAP protocol . Both of which are not supported by Azure AD. The replacement of LDAP in the Cloud is Azure AD Graph API .

You can however use the Claims Based Authentication / Authorization model and protect your web site with Azure AD. This will help with Authentication. Authorization - you can use the role based access control and have your Azure AD groups translated into ASP.NET roles.

Here is pretty long and well described process of how to protect a web site with Azure AD without writing single line of custom code .
