Everything you ever wanted to know about Enterprise applications but were afraid to ask.

Have you ever asked yourself - What's the difference between an app registration and enterprise application? And what about those service principals? Why can I consent to Graph API permissions in multiple places? And why do I always have an enterprise app when I create an app registration, but not always the other way around? How do I secure a single-tenant vs multi-tenant application? If you've been mystified, befuddled, confused, and asked yourself questions like these - you're not alone! App registrations and enterprise apps are one of the more confusing areas in Entra ID to understand. In this session we will discuss and deep dive into the most frequent questions around app registrations, enterprise apps, and service principals. We will start by defining each of these items, and look at where they live in Entra ID. We will pivot into secret management and explore how secrets work and where they are defined, who can use them and how. And with this all, we will talk about the common points of confusion and misunderstandings when securing applications, and how to go about doing so in Entra with live walkthroughs.
