How to implement Twitter Digits Authentication with Azure AD Auth for Asp.net WebApi

Question

I have ASP.Net Web API and I want to authenticate my API using Twitter Digits Auth and later will pass that Digits token to Azure Active Directory Auth Service.

I got an idea about Twitter Digits Auth but I'm confused how can I pass Digits token ahead to Azure Active Directory Auth Service.

Please see this diagram which I'm thinking to implement.

Answer 1

Does Azure Active Directory Auth Service mean Azure App Service Authentication and Authorization . If I understand correctly, this scenario will not work.

The Azure App Service Authentication and Authorization supports two kinds of authentication flow, client-flow and server-flow. The scenario you mentioned is client-flow which acquire the token from identity data provider first and then exchange the access token with Azure AD using that token. However in this scenario, we need to using the token issued from the identity data provider(Azure Active Directory, facebook, google, microsoftaccount, or twitter.) directly.

If I understand correctly, the Digits token is issued from Digits which the Twitter supports. This token is not supported for the Azure App Service Authentication and Authorization. You need to check whether the Twitter support to exchange this token for the token issued from Twitter.

More detail about the client-flow you can refer this document .
