Answer with Explanation

The OAuth authentication process follows these steps:

  1. Client Application requests a token from an Identity Provider (e.g., Azure AD).
  2. Identity Provider authenticates the Client Application and returns an Access Token.
  3. Client Application presents the Access Token to the Web Application.
  4. Web Application validates the token and grants access to the requested resources.
