We had successfully utilized Azure Active Directory for authentication of enterprise mobile apps. But can Azure AD be used for B2C apps? The answer is YES - Microsoft has released a preview version of Azure AD B2C that can be used for all customer-facing apps.
In Azure AD tenant, each user has to sign in with a long userID-email - e.g. {name}@{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com. This is not feasible for B2C apps, hence in Azure AD B2C, it is possible to log in with any email address, even plain usernames are supported. These accounts are called as Local Accounts in Azure AD B2C. Social Identity logins are also supported - e.g. Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Amazon.
For more details on Azure AD B2C please refer to the following links:
