VIDEO – Protect WebAPI data endpoint with ADAL (Azure AD)

Wanted to record brief demo of how to protect WebAPI data endpoint with ADAL (Azure Active Directory) Authentication Library.   Azure Portal enables us to register custom SPA (Single Page Application) for secure API calls to backend REST data sources.   OAuth Bearer HTTP headers are applied to provide security with JWT tokens (JSON Web Token).   Video shows all steps from Azure Portal registration to F12 validation of REST data calls.

Cheers

VIDEO – Create and connect to Oracle in Azure

Wanted to record a demo of how to create Oracle 12 instance in Azure and connect with GUI tools from Windows client.   Video shows full processing (including troubleshooting) with TCP firewall, DBCA create command, system password, and all.    Great way to build personal dev environment to learn Oracle connection strings and syntax, while staying out of live production corporate Oracle system.

Cheers.
