Microsoft Azure Active Directory Library for Java (com.microsoft.azure.adal4j) is an authentication library which enables you to acquire tokens from Azure AD and ADFS to access protected Web APIs (Microsoft APIs or applications registered with Azure Active Directory).

We have released Microsoft Authentication Library for Java (MSAL), which works with the Azure AD V2 endpoint, and to which we have added a lot of great features. We are encouraging current users of ADAL to move over to MSAL, as no new features will be added to ADAL moving forward, and our focus will be solely on MSAL.

In this wiki, you can find information about the features, functionality, known issues and other topics related to ADAL4J. For details about the general Azure AD concepts please refer https://aka.ms/aaddev.
