Azure AD Auth Module
Azure AD authentication module lets you integrate CodeCanvas with the Microsoft identity platform also known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
When you configure and enable the Azure AD authentication module in CodeCanvas:
CodeCanvas users will be able to log in to CodeCanvas with their Microsoft credentials including:
work or school accounts (provisioned through Azure AD)

CodeCanvas users will have fewer accounts and passwords to remember.
New users with Microsoft accounts will be able to create their own accounts in CodeCanvas.
