Explains Auth - OAuth2/OIDS and Saml over ADFS

Copilot Chat Conversation Export: Using OAuth2/OIDC for REST API authentication

@rapidclock

Explain "SAML over ADFS" as an authentication mechanism for a REST API. I do NOT want code samples. I want an explanation. I know very little to nothing about auth. If my company has an ADFS server, what do I need to do on my App to leverage that for identity management? I am only interested in Authentication not Authorization.

This is my technical interview cheat sheet. Feel free to fork it or do whatever you want with it. PLEASE let me know if there are any errors or if anything crucial is missing. I will add more links soon.

Studying for a Tech Interview Sucks, so Here's a Cheat Sheet to Help

This list is meant to be a both a quick guide and reference for further research into these topics. It's basically a summary of that comp sci course you never took or forgot about, so there's no way it can cover everything in depth. It also will be available as a gist on Github for everyone to edit and add to.

Data Structure Basics

Array

Definition:

  • Stores data elements based on an sequential, most commonly 0 based, index.
  • Based on tuples from set theory.
