    AsyncIO based OAuth using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for Python.
    Blocking MSAL functions are executed in the executor thread.
    Use until such time as MSAL Python gets a true async version...

    Tested with MSAL Python 1.13.0
    https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python

    AsyncMSAL is based on the following example app
    https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-webapp/blob/master/app.py#L76

    Use as follows:

        Get the tokens via oauth

        1. initiate_auth_code_flow
           https://msal-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#msal.ClientApplication.initiate_auth_code_flow

           The caller is expected to:
           1.somehow store this content, typically inside the current session of the server,
           2.guide the end user (i.e. resource owner) to visit that auth_uri,
             typically with a redirect
           3.and then relay this dict and subsequent auth response to
             acquire_token_by_auth_code_flow().

           [1. and part of 3.] is stored by this class in the aiohttp_session

There is an issue with 3.7 where a new session is returned for every request. You will see it as token_cache disappearing, but as a matter of fact, the session is completely unique on every request (It's clear from the value of the cookie AIOHTTP_SESSION. You can use "preserve log" in most web browsers debug tools)

Just realized I use aiohttp 3.8 at the moment! see here why not aiohttp 3.7

I'm also on 3.8.1 but found that the cookie size exceeded 4k, that seemed to have caused the misbehaviour. Changing the aoihttp-session cookie storage to a keybased cookie, e.g https://github.com/zhangkaizhao/aiohttp-session-file fixed this

Ok, that is an entirely different issue then. Glad you found a solution. The standard aiohtto_session also have redis & memcached Storage options that works in a similar fashion (storing only a key in the cookie and the data on the server)

You can also use this library https://github.com/kellerza/aiohttp_msal
