Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) enables secure identity management and control of access to cloud resources and on-premises applications. With the integration of WEBCON BPS with Entra ID, an effective and advanced identity and access management is possible in hybrid and cloud environments.
This article covers the installation of WEBCON BPS Standalone without a local Active Directory domain. Authentication and user list retrieval are implemented using Microsoft Entra ID.

The OAuth2 authentication standard is becoming increasingly popular, as it enables integration between different systems. In many cases, the connection takes place in the API → Application model, which makes authentication much easier. In this case, a predefined set of data is used – Client ID, Client Secret, and our subsequent actions are authorized by the token received in return.
But what if it is crucial to determine the user's context? This need is answered by the OAuth2 Authentication form field, which allows the user to be authenticated before connecting to the API and performing operations. The scenario described herein presents this feature using communication between MS Graph and Microsoft Azure.

Upgrading to a newer version is inevitable for any WEBCON BPS environment due to the acquisition of new functionalities, bug fixes, and security patches.

This article presents a general upgrade procedure in the form of a checklist of tasks to perform before upgrading, a description of each step of the procedure, and some practical tips.
