## About this sample

### Scenario

You want to write a daemon application that consumes organizational data using Microsoft Graph and using **Microsoft Identity Platform** to acquire tokens.

For details see [Daemon apps scenario](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-daemon-overview).

### Structure of the repository

This repository contains a progressive tutorial made of two parts:

Sub folder                    | Description
----------------------------- | -----------
[1-Call-MsGraph-WithSecret](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-daemon/tree/master/1-Call-MsGraph-WithSecret) | This sample application shows how to use the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to access the data of Microsoft business customers in a long-running, non-interactive process. The daemon application proves its identity using a **client secret**. It uses the OAuth 2 client credentials grant to acquire an access token, which can be used to call the Microsoft Graph and access organizational data </p> ![Topology](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-daemon/master/1-Call-MsGraph-WithSecret/ReadmeFiles/topology.svg)
[2-Call-MsGraph-WithCertificate](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-daemon/tree/master/2-Call-MsGraph-WithCertificate)  | This variation of the first sample shows how the application proves its identity using a **certificate**. </p>  ![Topology](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-daemon/master/2-Call-MsGraph-WithCertificate/ReadmeFiles/topology.svg)

## Prerequisites
