Announcing JMS 2.0 API Authentication with Azure Active Directory on Azure Service Bus

Announcing Azure Active Directory Backed Authentication for JMS 2.0 API on Azure Service Bus
Introduction
Azure Service Bus is a fully managed message broker that enables businesses to communicate between different systems, applications, and services. In order to ensure the security of data within these applications and services, Azure Service Bus now offers Azure Active Directory (AAD) backed authentication for Java Message Service 2.0 (JMS 2.0) API. This new feature allows developers to secure their messaging endpoints and applications using the same AAD credentials that are used to secure their other Azure services.

Benefits of Azure Active Directory Backed Authentication for JMS 2.0 API
Azure Active Directory backed authentication for JMS 2.0 API provides the following benefits to developers:

* Secure authentication: AAD provides a secure authentication mechanism that is compatible with industry standards and can be easily integrated into existing applications and services.
* Ease of use: Developers can use their existing AAD credentials to access the messaging endpoints and applications, eliminating the need to create and manage separate credentials.
* Robust security: AAD backed authentication ensures that only authorized users can access the messaging endpoints and applications.

Getting Started with Azure Active Directory Backed Authentication
To get started with AAD backed authentication for JMS 2.0 API, developers need to first create an Azure Active Directory (AAD) application. This application will be used to authenticate users and grant access to the messaging endpoints and applications.

Creating an Azure Active Directory Application
To create an AAD application, developers need to first log in to the Azure portal and then click on the “Create a resource” button. This will open the “Create an Azure Active Directory application” window, where developers can enter the application name, URL, and logo. Once the application has been created, developers can then configure the authentication settings. This includes setting up the authentication provider, granting access to the messaging endpoints and applications, and configuring the user roles.

Configuring the Authentication Provider
Once the AAD application has been created, developers can then configure the authentication provider. This includes selecting the AAD application from the list of available applications and then configuring the authentication settings. This includes setting the authentication type, granting access to the messaging endpoints and applications, and configuring the user roles.

Testing the Authentication Provider
Once the authentication provider has been configured, developers can then test the authentication by sending a test message to the messaging endpoint. If the authentication is successful, the message will be received and the authentication will be validated. If the authentication is not successful, the message will not be received and the authentication will be rejected.

Conclusion
Azure Active Directory backed authentication for JMS 2.0 API on Azure Service Bus provides developers with a secure authentication mechanism that is compatible with industry standards and can be easily integrated into existing applications and services. By using their existing AAD credentials to access the messaging endpoints and applications, developers can eliminate the need to create and manage separate credentials.
