So i talked about relaunching a project using Hugo in my last blog post. today I’m happy to announce that we have relaunched CodeVigilant. This project took a lot of my time and efforts, but I was not alone in the efforts, Aarushi Koolwal helped me with the entire process.

I have read somewhere if you take a prolonged rest you need to start from step 0. before we run we need to walk, before we walk we need to crawl. Step 0: We have rewrote our full website and a new website is now live. no visual change but the backend is now a static site.

I have been running this blog since 2007 19 July 2007 to be precise, during this long timeframe the blog has seen its own life-cycle. Started on shared hosting to moving on my server to moving from one type of WordPress instance to another. During this entire time, it has been a massively rewarding experience to learn.

It’s been slightly more than 10 years that I have spent in the information security domain. Information Security is mostly assumed to be a very small and tightly connected community. However in these 10 years I have learned there are many persona’s active in the current industry, some very vocal, some very active yet not socially present at all. I have also always wondered how the information security industry started and proliferated in India.

Idenifying the Logged-In User in Azure AD

Lately I have been experimenting with Azure AD and putting Apps behind Azure AD. Once they are behind Azure AD Auth i wanted to make decisions based on the logged in user and it turned out to be a bit of a adventure trying to get those values.

I will document two different ways of obtaining authenticated user. one via python and one via javascript.
