The application will open allowing you to click the Sign In (if needed) & Call Graph button to use the authentication flow.
This .NET 8 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application presents a button that initiates an authentication flow using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). The user completes this flow in their default web browser. Upon successful authentication, an HTTP GET request to the Microsoft Graph /me endpoint is issued with the user's access token in the HTTP header. The response from the GET request is then displayed to the user. The MSAL client first looks to its token cache, refreshing if necessary, before acquiring a new access token.
