msal python 1 release
We are excited to announce the public preview release of MSAL Python v1.0.0. MSAL Python is the recommended authentication library for Python applications to implement client side authentication flows using 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.
With the 1.0.0 release, MSAL Python achieves feature parity with the previous ADAL Python library for Azure AD authentication scenarios. Additionally, MSAL Python allows your application to integrate with Azure AD B2C. The 1.0.0 version also marks the release of a production supported library with a stable API surface. We encourage you to try out the latest MSAL Python package and update your existing applications to use MSAL Python.
Here are the great features you get with MSAL Python 1.0.0:
- A production supported library. MSAL Python is in public preview; however, the library is now stable and production ready. We will soon be making a GA release.
- An updated API that has conceptual consistency with the other MSAL SDKs. The API in v1.0.0 is stable and any future breaking changes will only be made in a Major version following Semantic Versioning.
- Integration with the Microsoft identity platform allows authentication with Azure AD, MSA and Azure AD B2C accounts. You can find the list of supported application types and scenarios here.
- Feature parity with ADAL Python for Azure AD scenarios. Refer to this migration guide to update your applications from ADAL to MSAL.
- Support for direct integration with ADFS 2019.
- Support for sharing the token cache with applications using other MSALs such as MSAL Java and MSAL .NET.
- Developer samples for different scenarios supported by MSAL Python.
You can find more details in the Release notes.
