Integrating Okta with Azure Web Apps and Power BI Embedding Overview This guide provides a comprehensive approach to integrating Okta with Azure Web Apps and embedding Power BI reports into a web application. Authentication is managed via Okta, and Power BI reports are embedded using React and Django, hosted on Azure. Authentication Flow with Okta: User Access Request: The user attempts to access a web application, triggering the need for authentication. Redirection to Okta: The web app redirects the user to Okta, which handles the authentication, typically with Active Directory (AD) as the identity source. Okta Authentication: The user submits credentials (username and password). If MFA is enabled, Okta prompts for additional verification (e.g., SMS, app-based token). Authorization with AD Groups: Okta checks the user's group memberships in AD t...

(Open image in a new tab for clarity) Welcome to our deep dive into the world of OAuth and secure user authentication! Today, we're unpacking the process step-by-step, using the popular travel planning platform TravelBuddy and its integration with Google's authentication services as our example. What is OAuth? OAuth is an open-standard authorization protocol or framework that describes how unrelated servers and services can safely allow authenticated access to their assets without actually sharing the initial, related, single logon credential. In simpler terms, it lets you use one service's login for other services without handing out your password. The TravelBuddy-Google OAuth Flow Our journey begins when you decide to use your Google credentials to log into TravelBuddy. But what does that process actually look like? Here’s a visual guide. One-Time Setup Process Before anything else, TravelBuddy needs to set up a one-time communication channel ...

Networking Layers Understanding Networking Layers Layer 1: Physical Layer Metaphor: The Roads Role: Provides the physical path (like roads or pathways) for the delivery vans to travel. Layer 2: Data Link Layer Metaphor: Local Delivery Van Role: Like a local delivery van that carries the message within the sender's town using the local routes (using MAC addresses). Layer 3: Network Layer Metaphor: Long-Distance Courier System Role: Determines the overall best path (using IP addresses) to get the message from the sender’s town to the recipient’s town, like a long-distance courier system. Layer 4: Transport Layer Metaphor: Message Integrity Checker Role: Ensures all the parts of the message arrive intact and in order, l...

Virtual network peering enables you to seamlessly connect two or more Virtual Networks in Azure.  Why vnet peering is needed Virtual networks within different :- Regions. Subscriptions. Azure AD Tenants. cant communicate directly with each other. What is Vnet Peering Virtual network peering enables you to seamlessly connect two or more Virtual Networks in Azure. Vnet peering is of 2 types :- Virtual network peering: Connect virtual networks within the same Azure region. Global virtual network peering: Connecting virtual networks across Azure regions. Benefits of Vnet Peering Low-latency, high-bandwidth connection between resources in different virtual networks. Traffic between peered virtual networks is private. No public Internet, gateways, or encryption is required.
