title: Temporary Security Credentials to access Azure Services
body: <p>I am looking for a feature in Azure similar to <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html" rel="nofollow">AWS Security Token Service (STS) Temporary Security Credentials</a> to allow federated users access Azure services. We are having support for multiple Identity Providers in our application(Amazon account, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, Google, Facebook, Github &amp; Twitter). We plan to add support for more Identity Providers in the future.</p>
  
  <p>Once the user logs in using one of these Identity Providers, we want to allow access to various Azure services on behalf of these users. AWS has an option to provide temporary access token on behalf of federated users residing in an external Identity Provider(IDP). </p>
  
  <p>Does Azure AD has any similar feature where it generates a token based on an existing token(from external IDP) and allows access to Azure Services?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
