Allow different authentication scenarios/platforms

[plamber]

Hello,
We are looking for a way to configure authentication for the Graph SDK JS for different platforms for the same application:

• When logged in in Teams I would like to use the Teams SSO to authenticate the calls
• For SPA applications in Teams we might need to redeem a Graph token from the Teams SSO token (if present)
• When logged in a browser (outside of Teams) we would like to use AAD authentication without SSO

Please let me know if you require more context regarding this requirement.

Thank you,
Patrick

Hey @plamber glad to see you here! 👋

SPA in browser: @nikithauc had started a PR a while ago here I know she has a lot on her plate at the moment. Maybe this is something you could take over if you're interested in contributing and if she is ok with that?

Teams SSO: @luismanez is working on that as we speak, stay tuned to PRs on https://github.com/microsoft/kiota-typescript to get some updates and don't hesitate to reach out directly to help him/ work together on it.

We already support node (azure identity), and spfx (thanks to luis) as well as anonymous, and API key auth scenarios. These additional two (mentioned above) should give us a good coverage, let us know if we're missing anything else.

Note: one quick PR you could put together is for the readme table here so we include a link to the SPFx provider, as well as here

@nikithauc and @luismanez, let me know if you need a helping hand for the above topics. I am open to give some support there.
