This is by FAR the best explanation of what can be a very confusing topic that I have seen. You out did yourself here John, thank you!

[gdr]

When I first started to take an interest in technology it was through reading incredibly dry text books from the library. Thank god for people like John who make the constant learning journey much more accessible and enjoyable 👍

I was totally lost when I was watching this video for the first time. After I learned OAUTH2 and other concepts here and there for several days and come back to watch again, all the contents in this video are crystal clear and really well organized and presented. Thank you so much.

Wow, great content, John! When you showed how the Enterprise Apps are only listing the Service Principals and that you would have one SP in every AD that wants to access the app - that was really an "AHA-moment" for me. Thank you so much for this excellent explanation <3

Brilliant training from John on a subject I have always had problems grasping. I watch alot of John's courses, he is an amazing teacher.

[sachingoyal]

Thanks so much. This video is now 3 years old, still explains the concepts like no other video does.

Congratulations - what has always been a really confusing area has now become crystal clear. I had to watch it twice to make sure I thoroughly understood it (and will probably have to watch it again if I need to remind myself a few months down the line). But you have achieved what the Microsoft doc could not. (Also had much-needed research into OAuth 2 in the process, so win-win!) Thank you :)

I can't believe you made a video of this over three years ago! So glad you did, because now it's more understandable. BTW, your handwriting is so much better these days 😄

[gherghinamarian]

A lot of things got clear in my head after watching this video! I like your teaching style, very clear, concise, and one that keeps your attention. I'll surely watch other videos. Thank you John, appreciate it!

[mhydeist]

I've recently passed the AZ-700 because of your videos. Thank for making them. Recently, I take interest in security and yet again your knowledge help my through a lot. How can I thank you enough!!!

[lysajane]

Wow! Absolutely brilliant. It doesn’t quite come through like this when reading the documentation over and over again. TY for explaining the Svc Principal and the difference between App Reg and Enterprise Apps.

[davidaranda]

Finally, someone who can explain this whole process in a way that actually makes sense. Great video, keep it up!

[jonmac]

Absolutely fantastic, I read numerous documents over the space of a week and this video explained the equivalent of hours of reading in a 30 minute video and made it a lot simpler to understand, brilliant, thank you :)

[sabokunogaraa]

I'm really amazed. The Microsoft docs were making me run in circles but this video was more than enough to understand such a complex topic

[asmiles]

Woah! I read through so many different sites trying to understand these topics without any success. This video cleared up everything for me. Thank you for creating this.

[michaelr]

After 3 years, i keep coming back to this video. Love your work as always John!

[jonathanku]

excellent explanation. I was setting up App Registrations in Terraform and couldn't' understand where the Enterprise Application was getting created from, but now your video explained it

[Navi]

After basking in the concepts that you poured out in this video, just made my day. Thanks a lot for this video John.

[tarunacharya]

beautifully explained, my search for a a proper explanation of the App Registrations and SP's finally ended with this video. Thanks John

[MelodiqueMyst]

Loved it, thanks for explaining it in layman terms. I have been working on AAD for sometime but never was able to wrap my head around Application Registration and Service Principal.. 🙂👍
