Dear Team,

Is it possible to create a custom connector for any Azure AD backed product such as sharepoint, onedrive, etc. that allows me to authenticate using my account for the product (I mean normal authentication with the Microsoft sign in redirect page and MFA if necessary) and without having to create separate app id and app secret.

Hello @MTawfik

I would suggest you to check a blog from one of our colleagues, you can find really useful information about custom connector over there:

Hello @MTawfik ,

Perhaps I missed the point of your question, my apologies I have reviewed it now.

That's not possible, when a user signs in to a particular service, his/her identity must be checked against the identity provider this is done through login.microsoftonline.com

So the AAD service principal (app registration) is required to sign in the user and validate the user, AAD will provide an authorization token to the user and the user will use the token to authorize his/her request to the API scoped in the app registration.

Based on that I would say you can't achieve what you are looking for.

Thank you Daniel,

outlook connector for example is implementing this, in order to use it you sign in with your outlook account without any kind of app registration, was just wondering how it was built and whether it is possible to do the same with a custom connector.
