Love to see this topic detailed!

Microsoft Entra ID has an excellent tooling in this regard, supporting all the flows with ease, can highly recommend!

I am not an expert in this area but it more looks like single sign on process. But in our project we use oauth2 and it returns jwt token. Authentication handles by our own idp which we use keycloak. I am struggling to understand between oauth and jwt. any short eexplanation is appreciated thanks

[Saurabh Dashora]

JWT defines the token format. OAuth deals with defining the authorization protocols. OAuth can use JWT tokens for its purpose.

OAuth simplifies authentication. Learning how it works is a good investment.

Thanks for the mention, Saurabh!
