Microsoft is making public previews available on September 16 of two new Azure Active Directory authentication services.
Azure Active Directory (AD) B2C is for developers who want to build Web, PC and mobile apps apps and services that can authenticate with consumer identity services like Facebook, Google and (coming soon) Microsoft Account. And Azure AD B2B is for authenticating between business-to-business partners.
Azure AD B2B collaboration and B2C are based on what Microsoft already provides for employee identities with Azure AD. Today’s new services expand these capabilities to external identities.
