OAuth2 vs Azure Active Directory: What are the differences?
Developers describe OAuth2 as "An open standard for access delegation". It is an authorization framework that enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. On the other hand, Azure Active Directory is detailed as "Identity and access management for the cloud". It is a comprehensive identity and access management solution that gives you a robust set of capabilities to manage users and groups. You can get the reliability and scalability you need with identity services that work with your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environment.
OAuth2 and Azure Active Directory can be primarily classified as "User Management and Authentication" tools.
According to the StackShare community, OAuth2 has a broader approval, being mentioned in 25 company stacks & 48 developers stacks; compared to Azure Active Directory, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 23 developer stacks.
