The whole reason I started to look into the details of OAuth in the previous post is that I really wanted to see how to set up external identity providers for the portals. There are some great blog posts out there which are describing the process in a step-by-step kind of way with all the… Read More »
If you ever tried registering applications in Azure, you have probably seen the term “implicit flow”. I’ve seen it a few times, and, finally, I’ve figured I need to get to the bottom of it. What I ended up with is the post below – it’s not meant to cover OAuth in details, but it… Read More »
I’ve been trying to catch up on the azure architecture lately using free learning material that Microsoft provides for the related az-300 exam: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-300 There is a lot to catch up on, since it’s definitely not my primary area of expertise, but now that I’m through about a quarter of that course, I can’t help… Read More »
This comes straight from the Power Apps documentation: Default – The initial value of a control before it is changed by the user https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/properties-core Actually, I never bothered to read that definition until recently, and, it seems, there is some discrepancy there. That definition seems to imply that “Default” will only affect your control’s initial… Read More »
For some reason, I got hooked up on the custom connectors for the time being. It’s a bit of a learning curve for somebody who has not been doing a lot of development outside of the plugins/scripts/occasional .NET for a while, so, if nothing else, it’s a good exercise in re-building at least some of… Read More »
As far as adding custom code to PowerApps/PowerAutomate goes, I’ve looked at three different options so far: Custom Connectors Azure Functions CDS Custom Actions Those are all valid options, but there are things to consider which go beyond purely technical aspects. For example, even though some Office 365 licenses include Power Apps use rights,… Read More »
Remember this screenshot? Actually, other than Azure Functions and CDS custom actions, there is at least one other option in Power Platform which we can use to add custom code to our Power Automate Flows and/or to our Power Apps. Those are custom connectors. We can also use custom connectors with Logic Apps, so this… Read More »
We all know that by October 2020 classic web client will be retiring, and UCI interface will take over everywhere where the classic web client might still be reigning at the moment of writing this post. This can be a very sensitive topic, though, and it can be quite confusing, too. As mentioned in this… Read More »
While playing with “HTML tables” earlier today, I suddenly realized that there seem to be a bit more depth to it than I expected. Let’s say you have this Flow: And imagine that you wanted to Add headers with spaces Change overall look and feel of the rendered table Turns out those things are not… Read More »
I used to think that connectors would be isolated from my local machine in the sense that, since they are in the cloud, my machine would be talking to the Flow/Canvas Apps/Flow Designer/etc, but not to the connector directly. Basically, like this: And I was going to mention it in the context of security in… Read More »
