How to connect Azure REST API with OData client? Does the current Azure Rest API follow OData schema? If yes, how do I connect in my OData client.

I am reading microsoft documentation and using their apps / api to secure api using Azure AD.
But I got confused by two different approaches and as articles describe setting up the client app and Api.
This article describe " Protect a web API backend in Azure API Management using OAuth 2.0 authorization with Azure Active Directory"
link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-protect-backend-with-aad
I am following another tutorial and using built application for web app and api, this describe
"How to secure a Web API built with ASP.NET Core using the Microsoft identity platform. This sample demonstrates a ASP.NET Core Web App calling a ASP.NET Core Web API that is secured using Azure AD".
It further describe "1. The client ASP.NET Core Web App uses the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) to sign-in and obtain a JWT [Access Tokens].
2. The [Access Tokens] is used as a bearer token to authorize the user to call the ASP.NET Core Web API protected by Azure AD.
So I am confused are they two different things if so when to use 2nd option or first 1. Both deals with the Azure AD and claims to protect an api.
The first article you're referring to uses Azure API management, where authentication is taken away from your API and completely configured in API management. This means you're adding an extra Azure resource type to your eco-system, most probably also adding costs.
In this article, you'll learn how to configure your Azure API Management instance to protect an API, by using the OAuth 2.0 protocol with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Next tot this, API Management adds a lot of other functionality as well.
In the second article you learn how to implement authentication using Microsoft Identity Platform. This way you will not be adding Azure resource types, but you'll have to code the authentication yourself.
in wso2 api manager what is the usage of this wsdl:
RestApiAdmin
https://[apim-host]:[apim-port]/services/RestApiAdmin?wsdl
this is add api but dont show in publisher or store or carbon
what is this usage?
This is the admin service that is used to deploy APIs to the gateway. When you create an API in the API publisher, the API publisher calls this API in the gateway to deploy that API in the gateway.
I have a existing application built in ASP.NET. This application has REST APIs. We are wanting to expose these APIs via API connect platform. Now, since our APIs are already authenticated, if we use IBM API connect, then how will end user authenticate to our API and API consumer authenticate via IBM Developer portal?
Lets say our API clientA logs into our developer portal, creates an app and then subscribes to our API. Now when end users try to access our API "VIA ClientA", we need to authenticate the request.
I tried to follow this tutorial http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.toolkit.doc/task_apionprem_redirect_form_.html
But it does NOT get redirected to our external URL.
Please help!
The API gateway (part of API Connect) establishes and enforces authentication between the API end-user/subscriber and your outbound API service running on API Connect. The gateway acts as a service proxy to authenticate potentially many subscribers to a particular API plan (made up of one or several APIs), using API keys that are generated as new subscribers onboard to that plan. The management and enforcement of those API keys is accomplished entirely within API Connect. Nothing is required on your part, except the initial setup parameters for each API.
For that same API, the back-end authentication between API Connect and your existing REST API endpoint is different: it is the same for all end-user subscribers. Every time an end user calls an API they have previously subscribed to, they must first authenticate to API Connect using their unique key (since their usage must be tracked, billed and possibly limited). Once authenticated to the API gateway, all subscribers invoking usage instances for this API will be authenticated to the same API endpoint using the same authentication scheme and credentials as created when setting up the API.
Their are several choices of back-end authentication schemes when using external API endpoints. See this tutorial for more information and links to further resources:

I work on an application that can use OAuth to Authenticate it's self to a CRM OData service. It takes as arguments Client Id, Redirect Uri(because it is a desktop application this is usually localhost), Resource, and Authority Uri.
Is there a tool I can use to test to verify that CRM and ADFS are properly configured to allow my application to access the Odata service?
My system should verify user's type during registering process. The verification is done with data from Salesforce. I created Salesforce REST API. I wondering how should I create ZF2 client to consume Salesforce REST API ? Should it be done as a zf2 lazy service, or just as a regular service ?
