Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for Java

master branch	dev branch	Reference Docs

The Microsoft Authentication Library for Java (MSAL4J) enables applications to integrate with the Microsoft identity platform. It allows you to sign in users or apps with Microsoft identities (Azure AD, Microsoft accounts and Azure AD B2C accounts) and obtain tokens to call Microsoft APIs such as Microsoft Graph or your own APIs registered with the Microsoft identity platform. It is built using industry standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect protocols.
