How do I use MSA or MSAL to test client code against both business and consumer test accounts in the same test suite without any user interaction? Windows Integrated Auth is not an option for this, and is not implemented in MSAL even if I was running on the domain.
For ADAL, there is this blog post, Using ADAL .NET to Authenticate Users via Username/Password, but my understanding is that this option is not encouraged and may be disabled in the future. Plus, I can't use this for consumer accounts.
The current MSAL preview only silent flows for user based auth all rely on the presence of cached tokens, previously obtained via interactive authentication.
Chances are that this will be the case for the next preview as well. The domain based integrated authentication will eventually be supported. However the current plan of record for username and password grant is that the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint will not support it.

I have been working on the development of a portal for a long time and one of the important modules of this portal is that it can login to 3rd party systems without asking username/password. It can be called a simple SSO.
At this point, I am trying to do this for Microsoft Teams :) I have user management authority in Azure AD, so I developed it with the ROPC user flow. I successefully get token, but I could not find any document on how to redirect the user to Microsoft Teams page. Is it possible to do this or not?
Thank you in advance for your help.
ROPC only supports a sign in flow. ROPC flow using on other flows(Microsoft teams) there won't be Single sign on, you will be just using the token endpoint. We would recommend you to use other flows if there are any specific requirements with the teams use Microsoft Graph API. And W.r.t Native app SSO using ROPC will not exhibit SSO across apps. Native App SSO using MSAL or any library that can allow cookie sharing across Apps will support SSO.
Microsoft recommends you do not use the ROPC flow. In most scenarios,
more secure alternatives are available and recommended. This flow
requires a very high degree of trust in the application, and carries
risks which are not present in other flows. You should only use this
flow when other more secure flows can't be used.
ROPC involves a user credentials while client creds are application credentials. More damage can be done if a user identity get stolen. app identity gets stolen you can't easily exploit it the same way as a user.

My company (C1) has DocuSign implementation feature set up with RestApi and we use oAuth to authenticate users with email and password to create and send envelopes. This functionality works perfect.
One of our clients said they have SSO enabled in their org and would like to SSO directly to DocuSign from my company page instead of providing password option. In our current implementation, users are prompted for email address first and then the password.
If clients have SSO enabled, I assume they go directly to Docusign but to get that functionality, is there anything I need to do regarding changing the existing workflow or implementation for RestAPI.
Do we need to obtain consent for our Client (who has SSO enabled)?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to do anything differently. These clients would be able to authenticate to your integration/app using SSO. If they are already autneticated, a cookie remembers it and they would automatically be redirected back to your app. The first time, the would have to give consent to your app to enable it to do things for them, but after that - smooth sailing, without any need to login or anything.
Feel free to let me know if you run into any issues. Otherwise, you'r good.
As Inbar says, if your application uses either the OAuth Authorization Code or OAuth Implicit grant flow, then your application will automatically support SSO once the user's DocuSign account has been set for SSO.
If your application uses the OAuth JWT grant, then SSO has no bearing on your application since your application is itself authenticating with DocuSign and impersonating a user.
And the above is why Authorization Code grant or Implicit grant is preferred over JWT grant whenever there's an option to not use JWT grant.
If you're using Legacy Header authentication, your application won't be able to authenticate as users who have SSO Login enforced. Until you're able to implement one of the OAuth workflows, users who need to use your API integration will need to have their Login Policy set to allow them to login with a password. More info on Login Policy is available here: https://support.docusign.com/en/articles/How-to-exclude-specific-users-from-SSO-requirements

To login into Azure active directory how to use MSAL.Net library in my login page of my website.I am seeing very big samples online but I didnt find small peace of code which makes me to understand MSAL.
MSAL Library is just an implementation for enabling developers to acquire tokens from the Microsoft identity platform endpoint.
If you want to use MSAL to acquire a token, you need to:
Register an application in Azure AD.
Add target API, and grant consent to select permissions.
Generate a secret key.
Then you can get a token as Acquire a token and call Microsoft Graph API.
However, I think what you really want is to integrate AAD. You can easily enable AAD authentication for your .NET web application. It uses OWIN middleware.
If you are using a aspnet or aspnetcore, you can get the necessary code needed to sign in your web application with your Azure AD tenant just by following steps.
Create the sample from the command line
Note that MSAL.NET is a token acquisition library (for services like MS Graph and such) that can optionally sign-in users as well. the sign-in code is present in the aspnet and aspnet core SDKs
Within our application we provide a DocuSign integration which uses DocuSign.eSign.dll from DocuSign C# Client.
We currently use the Legacy Header Authentication to authenticate.
One of our customers, would like to enable single sign on using Azure Active Directory. They have set up their account as described on Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with DocuSign already (for the DocuSign App).
How do we change our integration to allow Single Sign On using SAML? What API methods do we use? Does the DocuSign C# Client support this?
Legacy Header does not support SSO Authentication. For legacy header to work, users must have a password.
You will either need to grant a Login Policy Exception (to allow them to bypass SSO) to each user that needs to authenticate via the API, or you will need to implement OAuth token authentication.
An example of OAuth token authentication in C# is available on GitHub: https://github.com/docusign/eg-03-csharp-auth-code-grant-core
Once SSO is implemented by your client and has enabled mandatory SSO in their DocuSign configuration, then you should use OAUTH either using Authorization Code Grant-User Application or JSON Web Token Grant-System Integration to generate AccessToken for your Client API user. JSON Web Token Grant is normally used when System Integration is happening in your Integration with DocuSign. In Either way, you need to ask Client API user to provide User Consent to your IntegratorKey, so that your IntegratorKey can generate AccessToken on Client API User's behalf. Obtaining Consent explains how to get User Consent for Either User Application or System Integration. In Providing the consent to your Integrator, Customers will login to DocuSign via their SSO setup, in the same way how they login to DocuSign to access DocuSign WebApp.
I'm working on integrating Azure AD authentication with various apps on different platforms.
Is there a way to get an authentication token id from a user logging in through a web api like 'azureadlogin.com/login?user=ted&password=passwordhash'
There seems to be ways of doing it through node or javascript or C# apps but I'd really like to just have a simple web request way of doing it as there are many different apps on different platforms that need to make use of this feature.
No.
There is a way to authenticate with username + password by doing a POST request and using Resource Owner Password Credentials flow, but I don't recommend it.
ROPC will not work if:
User's password has expired
User is MS account/federated from on-prem AD
User has multi-factor authentication enabled
You have a wide selection of authentication flows which work in all these scenarios too, and don't involve the user giving their password to you.
For example:
Authorization code flow
Implicit grant flow
Device authentication flow
You can use username/password authentication. But if your app has user interface, so it could popup the regular Azure AD login page, I would recommend not to use it. A major reason for using Azure AD (or other identity providers) is that the user doesn't want your app to know his password.
There's a sample which does what you want. The code in question is here.
The sample uses .NET and the ADAL.net library, but you can do similar stuff on other platforms.
