How to Implement IdP Discovery in Azure AD B2C

Overview

Single-Sign-On (SSO) is an important feature that enables users to use one single credential to log in to many applications seamlessly. Besides the pain of creating and remembering a new password, security and the ability to manage employees' identities may be an even more important reason for enterprise customers to use SSO.

Azure Active Directory B2C (AD B2C) is a robust solution for managing customer identities. However, it lacks built-in support for Identity Provider (IdP) Discovery, also known as Home Realm Discovery.
