AdalAuthentication Class

A wrapper to use ADAL for Python easily to authenticate on Azure.

New in version 0.4.5.

Take an ADAL acquire_token method and its parameters.

   context = adal.AuthenticationContext('https://login.microsoftonline.com/ABCDEFGH-1234-1234-1234-ABCDEFGHIJKL')
   RESOURCE = '00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000' #AAD graph resource
   token = context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials(
       RESOURCE,
       "http://PythonSDK",
       "Key-Configured-In-Portal")

can be written here:

   context = adal.AuthenticationContext('https://login.microsoftonline.com/ABCDEFGH-1234-1234-1234-ABCDEFGHIJKL')
   RESOURCE = '00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000' #AAD graph resource
   credentials = AdalAuthentication(
       context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials,
       RESOURCE,
       "http://PythonSDK",
       "Key-Configured-In-Portal")

or using a lambda if you prefer:

   context = adal.AuthenticationContext('https://login.microsoftonline.com/ABCDEFGH-1234-1234-1234-ABCDEFGHIJKL')
   RESOURCE = '00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000' #AAD graph resource
   credentials = AdalAuthentication(
       lambda: context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials(
           RESOURCE,
           "http://PythonSDK",
           "Key-Configured-In-Portal"
       )
   )
