The Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) enables client application developers to authenticate users to cloud Azure AD or on-premises Active Directory (AD), and obtain tokens for securing API calls.
There are three main features in ADAL:
- ADAL supports the automatic refreshment of tokens after they reach their expiration;
- It also supports asynchronous methods that require tokens.
- ADAL can manage the process of getting tokens and, by default, stores tokens in what Microsoft calls an “in-memory token cache.”
