MSAL stands for Microsoft Authentication Library.
|
|
It's the replacement for ADAL, the Active Directory Authentication Library.
|
|
Although Microsoft now definitely pushes cloud hard like most tech companies.
|
|
So MSAL is focused on Azure AD specifically.
|
|
Where there is a distinct difference between "organizational" accounts and normal public Microsoft services account.
